PUBLICLY APPOINTED AND SWORN EXPERTS FOR CRANES AND MATERIALS HANDLING TECHNOLOGY

As authorised experts for cranes, we carry out preliminary, construction and acceptance inspections in accordance with UVV regulation 52.

In addition, as publicly appointed and sworn experts for cranes and materials handling technology, we also work for courts and public clients.

Nowadays, the design, planning, construction, commissioning and operation of cranes and conveyor systems pose a number of problems and questions that are often assessed and viewed differently by the people involved. As independent and sworn experts for cranes and materials handling technology, we can support you with our knowledge and expertise in every case.

Due to our independence and neutrality, we are generally accepted by everyone involved in the project. As a result, our expertise in legal matters and disputes often contributes to out-of-court or pre-mediated settlements.

We inspect and assess systems and equipment in the following specialist areas:

  • Crane systems
  • Lifting beams and grabs
  • Load handling equipment
  • Special machine construction
  • Steel construction

The tests and inspections can focus on the following areas:

  • Advice on preserving evidence in cases of damage.
  • Advice in court matters in the event of disputes.
  • Testing and evaluation of calculations, analytical verifications in accordance with DIN 15018, DIN EN 13001, DIN 18800, KTA 3902, KTA 3905, KTA 3602 etc.
  • Testing and evaluation of mathematical verifications of the static strength, cyclic strength or fatigue strength of steel construction and mechanical engineering components.
