MOBILE TESTINGSERVICES

WE COME TO YOU. WHEN AND WHERE YOU NEED US.

Not only does this save time on transportation costs and downtime, it provides reassurance to your team who have peace of mind knowing all their equipment is still on-site.

When your equipment doesn’t pass inspection, we will advise you whether it is cheaper to replace or repair. Where ever possible, and safe, our inspectors will repair your equipment and issue you with a Certificate of Repair - we’re the only lifting company in Australia to issue these certificates.

Our e-Testinspect system enables registers to be updated immediately on-site and accessed 24/7. A live and updated register also eliminates over spending on assets already in service.

e-Testinspect is contstantly being reviewed and improved to provide the highest quality solutions for Australia's lifting industry.

HISTORY OF E-TESTINSPECT

In 2010 Ranger pursued the journey of the development of e-Testinspect which sought to achieve peace of mind for management, operation and productivity efficiency and quality control.

We commissioned a highly skilled development team to build e-Testinspect to incorporate both LEEA and NATA best practice and all relevant Australian Standards.

We sought to build on our existing knowledge and expertise in the asset management and inspection field and engaged an international developer to custom build e-Testinspect - a high quality inspection/asset management system - that was adaptable and capable of keeping up-to-date with industry changes and trends ensuring best practice and safety for the Australian lifting industry.

After extensive research and development the first version of E-testinspect was successfully launched in late 2010.

In accordance with ever changing industry requirements and customer demand, e-Testinspect is constantly being reviewed and improved to provide the highest quality solution for inspections and Australia’s lifting industry.

At present e-Testinspect is in its fifth review and is currently being equipped with new applications and additions to support changes to Australian standards as well as effectively meeting customer requirements for total asset management and inspection processes.

• RFID tags are underground compliant and can be easily scanned regardless of whether they are covered in dirt, coal and dust or paint

• Items with RFID automatically update in online registers when inspected • Full traceability of all equipment

The use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in the industrial and residential lifting industry became common practice in many European countries from 2009 and has been in demand since. However during this time most companies in the lifting industry used ‘off the shelf’ programs which took on the ‘one size fits all’ approach that was not always a practical solution for all situations.

Ranger reviewed the products and services that were on offer and discovered that the current RFID tools available to the market were achieving the basic job of asset management, but none were truly catering for the Australian lifting industry.

Our custom RFID solution has been designed to fully intergrate with our e-Testinspect system to save you time and money by effortlessly registering, identifying and managing your lifting components on site.

RFID involves equipment being tagged with a unique chip which is scanned to identify the item electronically. The information is then transferred to our free e-Testinspect system. No more paperwork!

Our repair before replace policy and stock on hand means you can be back up and running with little downtime.

The current Australian Standard requires a proof test to be applied to some repairs of chain slings which we will perform on our in-house test bed.

Your equipment will be tagged and entered into our e-Testinspect online asset register system which is accessible 24/7 and allows you to view your register and print reports of thorough examination when it suits you.

The Ranger team will then advise that your equipment has been re-certified to Australian Standards and is ready for pick up.

Notify us at drop off if NATA certification is required.

When you need your equipment back urgently try our Express Drop + Collect service.

Popular with clients who need their equipment back in a hurry, our express service offers:
