Rigging and Lifting Gear Inspection in Jeddah
Slings, shackles and hoists sit between the crane and the load, and wear, corrosion, deformation and overload damage are easy to miss by eye. Gear with no marking or no current certificate can also stop a lift at the gate. EES examines each item, rejects what fails the criteria, and returns the rest with certificates, tags and a register. The Kingdom's principal Red Sea port city, with major logistics, construction and industrial activity.
Rigging & Loose Gear Inspection in Jeddah: local context
Cranes, forklifts and lifting gear in Jeddah work in hot, humid, salt-laden coastal air that speeds up corrosion, particularly around Jeddah Islamic Port and the waterfront. Third-party inspection here commonly covers port and logistics yards as well as plants in Jeddah Industrial City. EES inspects on site, plans visits around vessel and shift schedules, and issues clear inspection reports and tags.

How often must slings and shackles be inspected in Saudi Arabia?＋
Users check gear before every use, and a competent person examines it periodically. Six-monthly is a common interval for lifting gear on industrial and project sites, but your client's scheme, the manufacturer and the severity of service set the actual period, and we confirm it before we start.
What is lifting gear colour-coding and which colour do I need?＋
Colour-coding is a tag or band showing that an item was examined in a given period, so crews can see at a glance that gear is current. The colour for each period and the tag format follow the client's or site's scheme, which we confirm before inspection.
