Thorough Examination
AWE Forklifts offers thorough examinations to industries in Dublin and Ireland.
A thorough examination can be described as the National Car Test (NCT) for forklifts. However, a thorough examination, in many ways, is much more comprehensive. All forklifts, whether owned or leased, must carry a valid Report of Thorough Examination.
A Report of Thorough Examination proves that a forklift has undergone its annual thorough inspection and that the forklift conforms to the relevant safety and operating standards.
A Thorough Examination is a legal requirement. A thorough examination checks all components on a forklift that have a bearing on safety. A Report of Thorough Examination states, that at the time of testing, the forklifts components met with all safety and operating standards.
