Hydraulic lift table safety standards and related regulations

Hydraulic lift tables are devices that require high safety standards during operation and use. Therefore, hydraulic lift table safety standards have been established, and all manufacturing and installation units are required to comply. In addition to general international requirements for lift tables, we need to understand the lift table standards in Vietnam.

Hydraulic lift table safety standards according to the latest regulations

Technical Regulation QCVN 22:2010/BGTVT

This regulation mandates technical requirements related to the manufacturing, design, repair, renovation, import, and use of loading, unloading, and lifting equipment…

Inspection Procedure QTKĐ 11:2016/BLĐTBXH

Regulations for lift tables are applied for initial, periodic, and irregular safety technical inspections. This applies to lifting devices including: lift tables, dock levelers, and car lifts used for cargo lifting.

Technical Standard TCVN 4244:2005

Standard TCVN 4244:2005 is the Vietnamese national standard for the design, manufacture, and inspection of lifting equipment. This is a critical standard in the field of lifting equipment to ensure safety and quality.

Hydraulic lift table safety standard TCVN 5206:1990

TCVN 5206:1990 is the Vietnamese national standard providing safety requirements for lifting machines. This standard applies to all types of lifting machinery and sets out specific requirements for design, installation, and use to ensure safety during operation.

Standard TCVN 5207:1990

This standard focuses on specific safety requirements for container cranes. It supplements the basic safety regulations mentioned in general lifting machine standards. This is one of the important standards for ensuring the operational safety of container bridges.

Technical Standard TCVN 5209:1990

This standard focuses on specific safety requirements for the electrical systems of lifting machinery. It ensures safety for operators and equipment during use.

Hydraulic lift table safety standard TCVN 5179:90

Standard 5179:90 focuses on the inspection and testing of hydraulic equipment for lifting machines, ensuring safety after manufacturing and assembly.

Standard TCVN 5209:1990

Standard TCVN 5209:1990 specifies safety technical requirements for voltage-utilizing electrical equipment used in lifting machinery.

This standard only applies to electrical equipment with voltages up to 1000V. Additionally, it does not apply to the electrical equipment of travel mechanisms in self-slewing cranes.

Hydraulic lift table safety standard TCVN 5179:1990

Standard TCVN 5179:1990 specifies requirements and testing methods for hydraulic equipment. These requirements must be met to ensure safety after the manufacturing and assembly of hydraulic lifting machinery.

This standard applies to lifting machines using hydraulic equipment. It does not apply to the hydraulic equipment of travel mechanisms for mobile cranes.

Standard BS EN 1570:1998

Standard BS EN 1570:1998 specifies safety requirements for lift tables used for lifting goods and/or persons involved in moving goods on the platform (not for passenger transport), with a lifting stroke up to 3 meters. This standard has been replaced by BS EN 1570-1:2011.

Technical inspection process for lift tables

The lift table inspection process requires meticulousness and strict compliance with regulations. Here is the inspection process you need to know:

Step 1: Technical documentation review

• Technical files, lift table and dock leveler inspection records.
• Review and check drawings and equipment logs.
• Examine operation, maintenance, and repair records, as well as inspection standards.

Step 2: External inspection

• Check electrical systems, wiring, and switches to ensure no signs of damage or electrical leakage.
• Check safety functions such as emergency stop buttons, hydraulic safety valves, and mechanical locks.
• Check the wear of components like pistons and cylinders using specialized measuring tools.

Step 3: Technical testing

• No-load test to check the operation of the lifting structure, electrical and control systems, braking devices, and safety stops.
• Static load test at 125% of the Safe Working Load (SWL).
• Dynamic load test at 110% of the SWL.

Step 4: Issuing inspection results

After finishing the inspection steps, the inspector will prepare a lift table inspection report and summarize the results in the equipment log.

If the inspection is successful, the agency will issue a certificate to the user. If the inspection fails, the operating unit will be required to perform repairs and maintenance.

Lift table inspection intervals

To use a lift table safely, periodic inspections must be carried out at least every 2 years. This ensures the lift table continues to operate smoothly, avoiding malfunctions, minimizing workplace accident risks, and ensuring work performance.
