test & load test CSSC issue the certificate on an every six month basis as per DAC-REQ-06 & BS EN 81 and CSSC also perform investigations of accidents or incidents involving elevators and all related equipment.
ESCALATORS
CSSC Inspection Body approves
and certifies all types of escalator
such as move walker, passenger
conveyor Escalators: Inclinations of 30° and
35° are the common international
standard for escalators. Moving walks: Inclinations of 10°, 11° and 12° are the common international standard for inclined moving walks. Users find that a 10° inclination provides the most comfortable ride. A 12° inclination is used whenever the space available is limited. Horizontal moving walks can generally be provided for inclinations between 0° and 6°.
Escalators are available with step widths of 600, 800 and 1000 mm. The most popular step width is 1000 mm. This step width gives the user unimpeded access to the step band, even with baggage and shopping bags. The other two step widths are used mainly for less frequented units or where space is restricted. The purpose of these tests is to ensure that all components and systems are in a satisfactory and safe condition before start up. Prior to use, certain tests and inspections shall be carried out to ensure that proper materials and equipment complying with the specification are provided and that the site conditions are satisfactory and suitable for safe operation. If new, installed escalator preliminary adjustment and setting of equipment at this stage shall also be carried out at the same time to pave way for the coming functional performance tests.

WINDOW CRADLE
WINDOW-CLEANING CRADLES with Roof Trolleys, Building Maintenance Units (BMU's) and Monorail systems are utilized to clean the high rise building or external façade maintenance is deter-mined by the height to be negotiated, complexity of the building facade, duration and extent of work and required cleaning frequency.
Suspended access equipment such as suspended cradle is a common form of access for external window cleaning and external façade maintenance for many tall buildings. Use of this type of equipment is one of the safest ways to clean windows and metals of buildings; however, things can still sometimes go wrong. CSSC Inspection Body approves and certifies all types of window cradle such as BMU, TSP and Brochure chair The purpose of these tests is to ensure that all components and systems are in a satisfactory and safe condition before start up. Prior to use, certain tests and inspections shall be carried out to ensure that proper
materials and equipment complying with the specification are provided and that the site conditions are satisfactory and suitable for safe operation. Thorough window cradle inspection will be carried out as per British Standard to comply with local regulation, Thorough examinations are visual, functional performance test & load test
CSSC issue the certificate of every six month basis as per DAC-REQ-06, BS EN 1808 and LOLER, CSSC also performs investigations of accidents or incidents involving any suspended access and all related equipment.
MOBILE CRANE
CSSC Inspection Body approves
and certifies all types of mobile
crane such as Truck-mounted
crane, Rough terrain crane, All
terrain crane & Crawler crane.
A crane is a type of machine,
generally equipped with a hoist,
wireropes and sheaves, that can
be used both to lift and lower
materials and to move them
horizontally. It is mainly used for
lifting heavy things and
transporting them to other
places.
Stability is the relationship of the load weight, angle of the boom and its radius (distance from the cranes center of rotation to the center of load) to the center of gravity of the load.The stability of a crane could also be effected by the support on which the crane is resting. A crane's load rating is generally developed for operations under ideal conditions, i.e., a level firm surface. Unlevel surfaces or soft ground therefore must be avoided. In areas where soft ground poses a support problem for stability, mats and or blocking should be used to distribute a crane's load and maintain a level stable condition. Thorough mobile crane inspection will be carried out as per British Standard to comply with local regulation, Thorough examinations are visual, functional performance test & load test
CSSC issue the certificate of every twelve month basis as per DAC-REQ-06, BS 7121-2 and LOLER, CSSC also performs
investigations of accidents or incidents involving any crane and all related equipment.

OVERHEAD CRANE
CSSC Inspection Body
approves and certifies all types
of overhead crane such as
electric overhead travelling
crane, gantry crane & semi
gantry crane. An overhead
crane, also known as a bridge
crane, Overhead and Gantry
Cranes (Top Running Bridge,
Single or Multiple Girder, Top
Running Trolley Hoist) is a type
of crane where the hook-and-
line mechanism runs along a
horizontal beam that itself runs
along two widely separated rails.
Often it is in a long factory
building and runs along rails
along the building's two long
walls. It is similar to a gantry
crane. Overhead cranes
typically consist of either a
single beam or a double beam
construction. These can be built
using typical steel beams or a
more complex box girder type.
Pictured on the right is a single
bridge box girder crane with
the hoist and system operated
with a control pendant. Double
girder bridge are more typical
when needing heavier capacity
systems from 10 tons and
above. The advantage of the
box girder type configuration
results in a system that has a
lower deadweight yet a stronger
overall system integrity. Also
included would be a hoist to lift the
items, the bridge, which spans the
area covered by the crane, and a
trolley to move along the bridge.
The most common overhead
crane use is in the steel industry.
At every step of the manufacturing
process, until it leaves a factory as
a finished product, steel is
handled by an overhead crane.
Raw materials are poured into
a furnace by crane, hot steel is
stored for cooling by an overhead
crane, the finished coils are lifted
and loaded into trucks and trains
by overhead crane, and the
fabricator or stamper uses an
overhead crane to handle the
steel in his factory.
The automobile industry uses
overhead cranes for handling of
raw materials. Smaller work
station cranes handle lighter loads
in a work-area.
This is most common type of
overhead crane, found in most
factories. As obvious from name,
these cranes are electrically
operated by a control pendant,
radio/IR remote pendant or from
an operator cabin attached with
the crane itself. Thorough overhead crane inspection will be carried out as per British Standard to comply with local regulation, Thorough examinations are visual, functional performance test & load test
CSSC issue the certificate of every twelve month basis as per DAC-REQ-06, BS 7121-2 and LOLER, CSSC also performs investigations of accidents or incidents involving any crane and all related equipment. TOWER CRANE
CSSC Inspection Body
approves and certifies all types
of tower crane such as hammer
head crane, self erecting crane,
luffing crane & telescopic crane.
Tower cranes are a modern
form of balance crane that
consist of the same basic parts.
Fixed to the ground on a
concrete slab (and sometimes
attached to the sides of
structures as well), tower cranes
often give the best combination
of height and lifting capacity and
are used in the construction of
tall buildings. The base is then
attached to the mast which
gives the crane its height.
Further the mast is attached to
the slewing unit (gear and
motor) that allows the crane to
rotate. On top of the slewing
unit there are three main parts
CLAYMORE SECURITY & SECURITY CONSULTANTS
Page 6 of 12
which are: the long horizontal jib
(working arm), shorter counter-
jib, and the operator's cab.
Tower cranes are used
extensively in construction and
other industry to hoist and move
materials. There are many types
of tower cranes. Although they
are different in type, the main
parts are the same, as follows:
Mast: the main supporting tower
of the crane. It is made of steel
trussed sections that are
connected together during
installation.
Slewing Unit: the slewing unit
sits at the top of the mast. This
is the engine that enables the
crane to rotate.
Operating Cabin: the operating
cabin sits just above the slewing
unit. It contains the operating
controls.
Jib: the jib, or operating arm,
extends horizontally from the
crane. A "luffing" jib is able to
move up and down; a fixed jib
has a rolling trolley that runs
along the underside to move
goods horizontally.
Hook: the hook (or hooks) is
used to connect the material to
the crane. It hangs at the end of
thick steel cables that run along
the jib to the motor.
Weights: Large concrete
counterweights are mounted
toward the rear of the mast, to
compensate for the weight of the
goods lifted.
Thorough tower crane
inspection will be carried out as per British Standard to comply with local regulation, Thorough examinations are visual, functional performance test & load test
CSSC issue the certificate of every twelve month basis as per DAC-REQ-06, BS 7121-2 and LOLER, CSSC also performs investigations of accidents or incidents involving any crane and all related equipment.
FORKLIFT
CSSC Inspection Body approves
and certifies, A forklift truck (also
called a lift truck, a fork truck, or
a forklift) is a powered industrial
truck used to lift and move
materials short distances. all types
of forklift such as Hand pallet
truck, Rider stacker, Reach truck,
Electric Counterbalanced truck,
Internal Combustion Engine
Powered Counterbalanced
Forklift, Side loader, Telescopic
handler and Rider Order Picking
truck.
Forklifts are rated for loads at a
specified maximum weight and a
specified forward center of gravity.
This information is located on a
nameplate provided by the
manufacturer, and loads must
not exceed these specifications.
In many jurisdictions it is illegal
to remove or tamper with the
nameplate without the
permission of the forklift
manufacturer.
An important aspect of forklift
operation is that most have
rear-wheel steering. While this
increases maneuverability in
tight cornering situations, it
differs from a driver’s traditional
experience with other wheeled
vehicles. While steering, as
there is no caster action, it is
unnecessary to apply steering
force to maintain a constant rate
of turn.
Another critical characteristic of
the forklift is its instability. The
forklift and load must be
considered a unit with a
continually varying center of
gravity with every movement of
the load. A forklift must never
negotiate a turn at speed with a
raised load, where centrifugal
and gravitational forces may
combine to cause a disastrous
tip-over accident. The forklift are
designed with a load limit for the
forks which is decreased with
fork elevation and undercutting
of the load (i.e., when a load
does not butt against the fork
"L"). A loading plate for loading
reference is usually located on
the forklift. A forklift should not
CLAYMORE SECURITY & SECURITY CONSULTANTS
Page 7 of 12
be used as a personnel lift
without the fitting of specific
safety equipment, such as a
"cherry picker" or "cage".
Forklifts are a critical element of
warehouses and distribution
centers. It’s imperative that
these structures be designed to
accommodate their efficient and
safe movement. In the case of
Drive-In/Drive-Thru Racking, a
forklift needs to travel inside a
storage bay that is multiple
pallet positions deep to place or
retrieve a pallet. Often, forklift
drivers are guided into the bay
through guide rails on the floor
and the pallet is placed on
cantilevered arms or rails. These
maneuvers require well-trained
operators. Since every pallet
requires the truck to enter the
storage structure, damage is
more common than with other
types of storage. In designing a
drive-in system, dimensions of
the fork truck, including overall
width and mast width, must be
carefully considered.
Thorough forklift inspection will be carried out as per British Standard to comply with local regulation, Thorough examinations are visual, functional performance test & load test
CSSC issue the certificate of every twelve month basis as per DAC-REQ-06,BS ISO 2330, BS ISO 22915 -1,2,8 and LOLER.
MEWP
CSSC Inspection Body approves
and certifies the mobile elevating
work platform such as aerial work
platform (AWP), also known as
an aerial device, elevating work
platform (EWP), or mobile
elevating work platform (MEWP) is
a mechanical device used to
provide temporary access for
people or equipment to
inaccessible areas, usually at
height. There are distinct types of
mechanized access platforms and
the individual types may also be
known as a "cherry picker" or a
"scissor lift".
Aerial devices were once
exclusively operated by hydraulic
pistons, powered by diesel or
gasoline motors on the base unit.
Lightweight electrically powered
units are gaining popularity for
window-cleaning or other
maintenance operations,
especially indoors and in isolated
courtyards, where heavier
hydraulic equipment cannot be
used. Aerial devices are the
closest in appearance to a
crane- consisting of a number of
jointed sections, which can be
controlled to extend the lift in a
number of different directions,
which can often include "up and
over" applications.
A scissor lift is a type of
platform that can usually only
move vertically. The mechanism
to achieve this is the use of
linked, folding supports in a
criss-cross "X" pattern, known
as a pantograph (or scissor
mechanism). The upward
motion is achieved by the
application of pressure to the
outside of the lowest set of
supports, elongating the
crossing pattern, and propelling
the work platform vertically. The
platform may also have an
extending "bridge" to allow
closer access to the work area,
because of the inherent limits of
vertical-only movement.
The contraction of the scissor
action can be hydraulic,
pneumatic or mechanical (via
a lead screw or rack and pinion
system). Depending on the
power system employed on the
lift, it may require no power to
enter "descent" mode, but
rather a simple release of
hydraulic or pneumatic
pressure. This is the main
CLAYMORE SECURITY & SECURITY CONSULTANTS
Page 8 of 12
reason that these methods of
powering the lifts are preferred,
as it allows a fail-safe option of
returning the platform to the
ground by release of a manual
valve. Thorough MEWP inspection will be carried out as per British Standard to comply with local regulation, Thorough examinations are visual, functional performance test & load test
CSSC issue the certificate of every six month basis as per DAC-REQ-06, BS EN 280 and LOLER.
PRESSURE VESSEL
CSSC Inspection Body
approves and certifies all types
of air receiver, compressor, low
& high pressure boiler and
unfired pressure vessels. An air
receiver is essential to
every compressed air system to
act as a buffer and a storage
medium between the compressor
and the consumption system. There
are in principal two different air
receivers in a compressed air
system. Boiler is a closed vessel in
which water or other fluid is
heated. The heated or vaporized
fluid exits the boiler for use in
various processes or heating and
The pressure vessel of a boiler is
usually made of steel (or alloy
steel).
Burner is a device which converts
energy from fuel into heat energy
which is transferred to water
through Boiler which results in
Steam. Essential Features of
Good Burners.
Boiler and air receiver & compressor inspection will be carried out as per ASME standard and British Standard to comply with local regulation, Thorough examinations are visual, functional performance test & hydro test. CSSC issue the certificate of every twelve month basis as per DAC-REQ-06, BS EN 13445-1 & 5 2009, BS ISO 16528-1 : 2007, BS EN 286-3: 1995 & PSSR, ASME VIII and LOLER.
CHAIN BLOCK & LEVER HOIST CSSC Inspection Body approves and certifies all types of chain block and lever hoist. A hoist is a device used for
lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, the hoist with load at all working positions. Check that the hoist functions correctly and that there is no distortion. Carry out a complete manoeuvre, lifting a load corresponding to the hoist's maximum safe load. Chain block & lever hoist inspection will be carried out as per British Standard to comply with local regulation, Thorough examinations are visual, functional performance test & hydro test.
