VDZ Certified Annual Safety Inspection

Confidence on the road. Safety for your people. Protection for your investment.

At VDZ Lifting Systems, we believe reliability does not end when a system is delivered. Our lifting and recovery systems are exposed daily to heavy loads, high pulling forces, and intensive use. That’s why we offer professional annual safety inspections and certification, ensuring your equipment remains safe, reliable, and compliant with applicable standards.

Ensure your lifting and recovery system remains safe, reliable, and fully certified. Contact VDZ Lifting Systems to schedule your inspection.

Why Schedule an Annual Inspection?

Regular inspections help prevent unexpected breakdowns and improve the safety of both your operators and other road users. During the inspection, wear, damage, and potential risks are identified at an early stage, helping you avoid costly downtime while ensuring your system remains dependable.

What Do We Inspect?

Our experienced service engineers perform the inspection on-site, minimizing downtime for your vehicle or system. During the inspection, we check, among other things:

  • Mechanical components for wear and excessive play
  • Structural components for cracks, deformation, and material fatigue
  • Safety-critical components according to established inspection procedures
  • The overall condition and operational reliability of the system

Equipment Certification

In addition, a valid certification is often essential to demonstrate that your equipment can be operated safely. Annual inspections are also a key requirement for maintaining the manufacturer’s warranty.

We place great importance on meeting the highest quality standards, which is why our products and services are regularly audited and certified by our services professionals.

Advanced Magnetic Testing (MT)

To inspect load-bearing steel structures, we use Magnetic Testing (MT), a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that detects surface cracks without damaging the material.

Our inspectors work in accordance with the VDZ inspection procedure, based on internationally recognized standards, and hold the required certifications to perform these inspections professionally. All findings are documented in an official inspection and certification report.

After the Inspection

If your system meets all applicable requirements, you will receive an official certificate. This provides documented proof that your installation has been inspected, approved, and certified as safe for operation.

With an annual VDZ inspection, you choose maximum safety, minimum downtime, and long-term reliability for your lifting and recovery system.
