A Complete Lifting Equipment Register

AgileNDT asset dashboard showing searchable equipment records and status

AgileNDT gives lifting inspection teams a structured register for the equipment they inspect and certify. Each item can carry its own ID, serial number, safe working load, location, owner, inspection frequency, certificate history, photographs, attachments and current status.

Instead of tracking lifting gear through spreadsheets, folders and handwritten certificates, teams work from one searchable source of truth. Managers can see what is in service, what is due, what has failed, and which customer or site owns each item.

  • Structured Equipment Records— Store item type, tag number, serial number, manufacturer, model, safe working load, dimensions, location, owner and inspection schedule in consistent fields.
  • QR Codes & Barcode Lookup— Open the right item record from the yard, workshop or site by scanning a tag, then review history before starting the next examination.
  • Bulk Import For Legacy Registers— Bring existing Excel lists into AgileNDT, map columns to your equipment fields and clean up missing or duplicated information before go-live.
  • Status Filtering— Filter by in service, due soon, overdue, quarantined, failed, repaired or retired so coordinators can focus on items that need action.

Thorough Examination Workflow

Build inspection forms around the equipment types you handle, from shackles and lifting beams to chain blocks, hoists, cranes, forklifts, runway beams and loose lifting accessories. Inspectors follow a controlled workflow that captures the details needed for a written report.

Examination outcomes, next due dates, defects, photos, recommendations and signatures are recorded as part of the same process, so completed work can move from field capture to supervisor review and customer delivery without retyping.

  • Configurable Checklists— Use equipment-specific inspection prompts, acceptance criteria, measurements and photo requirements for each lifting category.
  • Next-Due Date Control— Calculate inspection due dates from your configured interval or examination scheme, with supervisor override where a competent person sets a different period.
  • Digital Sign-Off— Capture inspector, reviewer and customer signatures with timestamps, user IDs and revision history for a clear chain of accountability.
  • Certificate PDF Generation— Produce polished examination certificates or reports with equipment details, findings, defects, images, signatures and next examination dates.

Built For Audit-Ready Lifting Records

Lifting equipment work depends on clear evidence: what was examined, who examined it, what defects were found, when the next examination is due, and what actions were taken. AgileNDT keeps those records connected from the item register through to the final certificate.

LOLER-Aligned Records

Configure written report fields around thorough examination requirements, including examination date, next due date, item identification, defects and competent person sign-off.

  • Written report fields
  • Competent person sign-off
  • Next examination dates
  • Certificate history

Defect Control

Record dangerous defects, advisory findings, restrictions and corrective actions directly against the item, then keep the equipment status visible until the issue is closed.

  • Defect severity
  • Quarantine status
  • Repair actions
  • Closure evidence

Due-Soon Alerts

Notify coordinators, inspectors, site contacts or customers before examinations lapse, with views for upcoming, overdue and completed work.

  • Expiry dashboards
  • Email reminders
  • Customer/site filters
  • Planning exports

Traceable Archive

Keep current and historic certificates, photos, inspection results, repairs and user actions linked to the equipment record for customer reviews and audits.

  • Full item history
  • Photo evidence
  • Revision tracking
  • Searchable archive

Defect Actions, Repairs & Re-Inspection

AgileNDT timeline showing item events, comments and status history

Failed or restricted lifting equipment needs fast, visible follow-up. AgileNDT turns examination findings into traceable actions so coordinators can quarantine items, assign repairs, attach evidence and verify that equipment is safe to return to service.

  • Out-Of-Service Controls— Prevent failed, quarantined or overdue equipment from being marked available until the required action has been completed and reviewed.
  • Repair Workflow— Assign repair tasks, upload evidence, record replaced parts and log who approved the item for return to service.
  • Event Timeline— Maintain a chronological record of examinations, comments, defects, repairs, documents, signatures and customer communications.
  • Customer Notifications— Send certificates, defect notices and repair updates through email or the client portal so customers can act quickly.

Connected To Requests, Reports & Customer Portals

AgileNDT client portal dashboard for customer access to records and reports

Lifting equipment inspections rarely stand alone. AgileNDT connects the lifting module to work requests, technician assignments, inspection reports, certificates, billing and customer portal access so the whole job stays traceable.

  • Work Request Link— Create examination jobs from a customer request, attach the lifting items to be inspected and dispatch the scope to the right inspector.
  • Portal Access For Customers— Give customers secure access to their lifting registers, current certificates, due dates and defect history without exposing other client data.
  • Billing Handoff— Convert completed examinations, call-outs or repair visits into draft invoice lines using your configured rates.
  • API & Export Options— Export equipment registers, certificates and upcoming examination lists, or connect data to your ERP, CMMS or document control tools.

Key Benefits of the Lifting Equipment Module

Full Traceability

Every item carries its own register record, certificate history, defects, repairs and status changes.

Faster Certificates

Inspect once, then generate customer-ready certificates without copying data into separate documents.

Cleaner Data

Required fields, controlled lists and equipment templates reduce missing details and inconsistent wording.

Audit Confidence

Written reports, next-due dates, sign-offs and revision history stay searchable and tied to each item.

Customer Visibility

Clients can access their certificates, registers and due dates through a controlled portal.

Better Planning

Due-soon dashboards and reminders help teams schedule inspections before certificates expire.
