Buying a fall arrest block? Always make sure to look beyond the price tag.

Before you purchase, ask:
👉🏼 What are the inspection and servicing requirements?
👉🏼 Is there an approved service network?
👉🏼 Can this model be repaired?
👉🏼 Are spare parts available, and what are the lead times?
👉🏼 What could ongoing maintenance cost?

Understanding the support available helps you make a more informed purchase and plan for the equipment’s working life.

A useful question for your next supplier conversation: “What happens when this needs servicing?”

“It’s hardly been used.”

But do you know when your fall arrest block was last serviced? 👀

How often it’s used is only part of the picture. Storage conditions, the working environment and the manufacturer’s instructions all matter when determining its servicing requirements.

Depending on the model, servicing may involve internal examination and replacement of specified components. Where the manufacturer requires this at set intervals, low usage doesn’t remove that requirement.

It’s also worth asking about after-sales support before purchasing:

▪️ Is there an approved service network?
▪️ Are spare parts readily available?
▪️ Can the block be repaired?
▪️ What are the ongoing servicing costs?

The purchase price is only part of the cost. Knowing how your equipment can be maintained helps you plan ahead.

When was the last time your fall arrest blocks were actually opened and properly examined?

There’s been plenty happening behind the scenes at AMG 👀

It’s been a busy time at HQ as we get ready for a whole new chapter, and we’re looking forward to sharing what we’ve been working on over the next few weeks.

Any guesses what’s coming? 👇

A damaged latch doesn’t always mean replacing the whole hook.

Sometimes, the right replacement component is all that’s needed, provided the rest of the equipment is fit for continued use.

At AMG, our engineers carry components from multiple manufacturers including William Hackett & George Taylor , giving us more options to carry out suitable repairs on site.

It’s about identifying the fault, fitting the correct part and checking the equipment before it goes back into service.

A practical approach that can save customers unnecessary replacements and additional downtime.

Get in touch with AMG to see if a suitable repair could save you a replacement.

Keeping our engineers’ skills moving forward 👏🏻

This week, our engineers travelled to England for specialist training with Certex, building & upskilling on their knowledge of forklifts and telehandlers.

Investing in our people is an important part of the job & strengthening the expertise we bring to your site and the equipment you rely on every day.

A missing hook latch. A seized connector. A damaged fitting.

They might be small components, but they all deserve a closer look.

When our engineers inspect lifting equipment, it’s these details they’re looking for as well as the bigger, more obvious defects.

And when we find an issue? We explain what needs done and, where a safe repair is possible, we can carry it out on site.

In September alone, we repaired 219 items helping customers get their equipment safely back into service.

Need your lifting gear inspected or repaired? Give the AMG team a shout.

219 items repaired this month - That’s where having the right inspection team on site makes a difference!

September Stats:
✅ 2,227 passed
🔧 219 repaired
❌ 186 failed

Those 219 items could otherwise have been condemned, but with the skills and parts to carry out repairs on site, we were able to get them safely back into service.

Seized connectors, broken hooks, missing latches and stretched chain legs were just some of the issues our engineers put right this month.

We’re finishing up a busy month of inspections across England and Wales, before the guys head to Certex next week for further training on forklifts and telehandlers.

Always busy, Always building on what we know. 💪

For lifting equipment inspections and on-site repairs, give the AMG team a shout today.

What happens between inspections matters too.

A LOLER or PUWER inspection gives you a snapshot of your equipment at that point in time but how it’s stored, used and checked in the weeks and months afterwards can make a big difference.

Between inspections, it’s worth keeping an eye on:

▪️How and where lifting equipment is being stored
▪️Visible signs of wear, damage or deterioration
▪️Whether damaged equipment is being reported and removed from use
▪️Whether chains, slings, shackles and hooks are being kept organised
▪️Whether certificates and equipment records are easy to access

Good equipment management shouldn’t start and end on inspection day.

At AMG, we help customers create a clearer system around their lifting equipment from inspections and repairs to QR-code certification, equipment supply and practical storage solutions.

The better the system between inspections, the easier it is to keep equipment safe, organised and ready for use.

Need help getting your lifting equipment better organised?
