About this template
A free Excel register for the lifting gear you own or hire: slings, chains, shackles, hooks and other lifting attachments. Record each item’s ID, type, size, working load limit, serial or batch number and where it is kept, then each inspection, its result and who inspected it. The next inspection date works itself out from the interval you set, and gear that fails or is tagged out stands out so nobody uses it by mistake.
Use it with our Plant & Equipment Maintenance Policy & Procedure, Plant Risk Assessment Form.
