An annual service inspection is essential to maintain the safety and reliability of your Safe Transfer basket. Only trained specialists from a Safe Transfer-accredited service center may perform this inspection.
The service involves a thorough visual check and the replacement of specific parts to ensure optimal performance:
Compensator – Must be replaced every 12 months
Fenders and top buoy – Recommended replacement every 12 months
Rope sections, guiderope, topnet, etc. – Replace when defects or visible wear appear
Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your equipment and ensures safe operation. Read more about our baskets.
Five-Year Service Inspection
Every five years, your basket requires a more extensive inspection to uphold safety standards. The procedure includes:
Load-test & NDT – Performed by an accredited 3rd party
Lifting sling – Mandatory replacement every 5 years
Compensator – Replaced every 12 months
Fenders and top buoy – Recommended replacement every 12 months
Rope sections and guideropes – Replace as needed based on condition
These inspections keep your transfer equipment compliant and fully operational.
Importance of Original Spare Parts
For maximum safety and performance, always use original spare parts from Safe Transfer during service inspections. Original parts guarantee full compliance with safety regulations and maintain the integrity of your equipment.
