Our testing can also be done to manufacturer specific guidelines and requirements.
Annual Inspections are required every twelve (12) months from the date of the prior annual inspection or not to exceed 1,000 hours of operation beyond the prior annual inspection, whichever occurs first.
Frequent Inspections or Periodic Inspections are required when a unit has been in service for three months or up to 350 hours, whichever comes first, or prior to operation after the unit has been out of service for a period longer than one (1) months.
For Vehicle Inspections, since most aerial equipment is mounted on a truck frame, there are specific regulations that apply only to trucks and truck inspections. It is important to have the truck inspected in accordance with these regulations.
We also inspect and test emergency vehicles, for example, Fire Truck Aerial Ladders.
