Questions our clients ask most often.
What does a third-party inspection involve?
Independent inspection by a qualified inspector who is not the equipment owner or operator. We provide pre-use, periodic (typically 6 or 12 months), thorough examination, post-incident and load-test witnessing — covered by formal report with photos, defect lists and recommendations.
Are your inspections LOLER and ASME compliant?
Yes. Our inspections align with LOLER 1998 (UK lifting regulations widely adopted in Oman O&G), ASME B30 series (US crane standards), API codes, and Omani regulations. Reports cite the specific clause references.
Is GCS a LEEA member?
Yes. GCS is a Full Member of the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA), the global body governing lifting equipment competence. LEEA membership is the de-facto standard for credible lifting inspections in Oman.
How quickly can you mobilise an inspection?
For routine inspections in Muscat, Sohar, or Duqm, mobilisation is typically within 2 working days. Emergency post-incident inspections can be mobilised same-day. Reports are issued within 5 working days of inspection.
What equipment do you inspect?
We cover 6 categories: mobile cranes (all-terrain, rough-terrain, truck-mounted), tower cranes, lifting accessories (slings, shackles, hooks), MEWPs (scissor & boom lifts), forklifts/telehandlers, and earthmoving equipment (excavators, loaders, dozers, dump trucks).
