Lifting and Transport Equipment

What is Lifting and Transport Equipment?

Lifting and Transport Equipment (also known as Pesawat Angkut) refers to mechanical devices designed to lift, move, or transport loads, including materials and personnel, in industrial environments. These machines play a crucial role in various sectors, including oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, mining, warehousing, and logistics.

Since these machines handle heavy loads and operate under high-risk conditions, proper safety measures, maintenance, and operator training are essential to prevent workplace accidents.

Types of Lifting and Transport Equipment

1. Lifting Equipment

Lifting equipment is designed to raise, lower, or move heavy materials vertically or at an angle. Common types include:

1. Cranes

Mobile Crane – A flexible crane mounted on a vehicle for mobility.
Tower Crane – Used in high-rise construction projects for lifting heavy materials.
Overhead Crane – Installed in factories and warehouses to lift and move heavy loads.

2. Hoists

Electric Hoist – A motorized hoist used in industrial lifting applications.
Chain Hoist – A manual or electric device used for lifting moderate loads.

3. Forklifts

Used to lift and transport heavy goods within warehouses and industrial facilities.

2. Horizontal Transport Equipment

These machines move materials horizontally over various distances. Common examples include:

• Conveyor Belts – Used in manufacturing and mining to transport materials efficiently.
• Hand Pallets & Stackers – Essential for warehouses to move packaged goods.
• Industrial Trucks (Loaders, Dump Trucks, etc.) – Used in construction, mining, and logistics for heavy load transport.

3. Personnel Lifting Equipment

This category includes machinery designed to lift workers to elevated workspaces. Examples include:

• Elevators (Lifts) – Used in buildings and industrial facilities for vertical transportation.
• Gondolas – Commonly used in high-rise maintenance, construction, and glass cleaning.

Safety Standards and Regulations

Because lifting and transport equipment operates under high stress and potential hazards, strict safety regulations must be followed. Some key standards include:

• SNI (Indonesian National Standard) – Ensures compliance with national safety standards.
• ISO (International Organization for Standardization) – Governs global best practices for lifting equipment.
• HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) Regulations – Provides workplace safety and environmental guidelines.
• OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) – International standards for worker safety.

Regular inspection, maintenance, and certification of lifting and transport equipment are essential to prevent malfunctions, ensure operational efficiency, and reduce workplace accidents.
