LIFTING POINTS „XKE-POINTS"
TWN 1884
Environmental influence
Lifting points must not be used in environments where acids, aggressive or corrosive
chemicals or their fumes are present.

8 INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL
General
Inspections and maintenance must be arranged for by the owner!
Inspection deadlines shall be determined by the owner!
Inspections must be carried out and documented by competent persons regularly but
at least once a year, or more frequently if the lifting points are in heavy-duty service.
After three years at the latest they must additionally be examined for cracks. A load
test shall never be considered a substitute for this examination.
The results of the inspection shall be entered into a register (DGUV I 209-062 or
DGUV I 209-063) to be prepared when a lifting point is firstly used. The register will
show characteristic data of the lifting points and other components as well as identity
details.
Immediately stop using lifting points that show the following defects:
• missing or illegible identification/marking
• deformation, elongation or fractures
• cuts, notches, cracks, incipient cracks, pinching
• limited rotatability (dry or stuck ball bearing)
• heating beyond permissible limits
• severe corrosion
• defect screw or thread
Inspection service
THIELE offers inspection, maintenance and repair services for lifting points performed
by trained and competent personnel.
Maintenance
Maintenance and repair work must only be performed by competent persons.
Minor notches and cracks at suspension links may be eliminated by careful grinding
observing the maximum cross section reduction requirement of 10 % and avoid making
more severe cuts or scores.
Regreasing of the ball bearing is not intended. Replace lifting points with recognisably
dry ball bearings.
All maintenance and repair activities are to be documented.
Disposal
All components and accessories of steel taken out of service are to be scrapped in line
with local regulations and provisions.
