Keeping track of your lifting equipment inspections got you feeling like this? 😵‍💫

Between multiple sites, different pieces of equipment, varying inspection intervals and stacks of paperwork, we understand compliance can quickly become a headache for many local companies!

That's why we use CheckedOK Software by Corerfid Ltd. to take the stress out of managing your inspections entirely!

Here's what it means for you 👇

➡️ Powerful search - find certificates, reports or specific items in seconds
➡️ Easy traceability - replaced items are clearly flagged as "Supplied New" on your dashboard
➡️ Inspection reminders - see exactly when each piece of equipment is due, before it becomes a compliance issue
➡️ Full transparency - real-time records, instant reports, and a complete compliance trail, all in one place

No more digging through folders. No more chasing paper certificates. Just clear, simple compliance at your fingertips from the moment our engineer leaves your site.

Failed Equipment Find 👀

At first glance, this screw pin bow shackle might not look too bad, but once inspected properly, the issue becomes clear.

The screw pin was no longer threading in correctly and wasn’t protruding fully beyond the arch of the shackle as it should.

Why does that matter?

Because if the pin isn’t fully engaged, the shackle can no longer safely take the load it’s rated for making it a failed item under LOLER inspection.

In this case, due to the cost and safety implications, replacement was the safest and most practical option.

The customer was supplied with a brand new bow shackle, complete with:
✅ Unique serial number
✅ Certification
✅ Tagged and ready for use on site

This is exactly why thorough examinations and properly trained engineers are so important.

To the untrained eye, issues like this can easily be missed, but small defects can create serious risks if lifting equipment continues to be used.

That’s why LOLER inspections matter

What is a lever hoist and where is it used? 👀

A lever hoist is a manual lifting and pulling device used to move heavy loads using a hand-operated lever.

They’re commonly used across construction, engineering, overhead line, offshore and marine environments for:
▪️Lifting heavy loads vertically
▪️Pulling or tensioning equipment
▪️Positioning machinery precisely
▪️Aligning or securing structures

At AMG, we stock the William Hackett range of lever hoists, including both the L4 and SSL5 models.

From standard 1.5m chain lengths up to 3m, with lifting capacities ranging from 500kg to 3.2T, we keep a variety of options on the shelf and if you require heavier capacities or longer chain lengths, we can source those directly too.

So, what’s the difference?

➡️ The L4 range is ideal for everyday use across construction and engineering environments.
➡️ The SSL5 range is designed specifically for overhead line, offshore and marine conditions.

Why do we stock William Hackett?

Simply put - quality, durability and reliability.

Their products have a strong reputation across the lifting industry, spare parts are easily sourced, and with regular servicing and maintenance, these hoists are built to last for years.

At AMG, we don’t just manufacture lifting chains components for our customers - we can also supply all the individual components directly to your site if you prefer to manufacture internally ⛓

We stock a wide range of Grade 80 and Grade 100 chain and components at HQ, including:

✅ Master rings
✅ Joining links
✅ Shorteners
✅ Self-locking hooks
✅ Chain in various sizes

This customer recently placed a bulk order for Grade 80, 8mm and 10mm components, along with 40m of chain in both sizes, allowing them to manufacture the assemblies themselves in-house.

Everything will be packaged up and delivered directly to site, fully ready for the customer to manufacture themselves 📦

Whether you need complete assemblies manufactured by us, or simply the components supplied, we’re happy to support whatever works best for your operation 👷🏼

This is a big yoke… literally 👀

We recently had a customer come to us looking for something a bit more bespoke for work involving wind turbines and motors weighing up to 20T

To suit the job, we sourced a bespoke Yoke offshore swivel hook rated up to 26T, complete with a custom bow shackle and joining link setup.

Not every lifting requirement is standard, and that’s where bespoke solutions become essential!

Safe to say this one will be hard to miss when it lands on site 😲
