Another delivery in from William Hackett 📦 🚚

This time the delivery included chain blocks, hooks and lever hoists, all ready for customers across NI and beyond.

At AMG Plant Testing, we’re particular about the equipment we supply, which is why we work with trusted manufacturers like William Hackett.

Their lifting equipment is built for demanding environments, with quality and reliability at the forefront, exactly what our customers need when safety and performance matter.

And when you buy lifting equipment through AMG, we can also inspect & certify it so it arrives site ready!

Plus… we’ve been working behind the scenes on something that’s going to make buying lifting equipment from AMG a whole lot easier. 👀

Keep your eyes peeled...more coming soon.

New equipment. One inspection cycle. ⚙️

Tired of purchasing lifting equipment outside of your usual inspection cycle, only to end up with different pieces of equipment due for inspection at different times throughout the year?

With AMG Plant Testing, we keep things simple.

Our straightforward pricing structure means that if you purchase new lifting equipment from us and we’re back on site carrying out your scheduled inspections shortly afterwards, we can recertify those new items and bring them in line with the rest of your equipment.

So you’re not faced with additional call-outs and multiple inspection dates further down the line.

That means:
◾️One inspection cycle
◾️Fewer separate call-outs
◾️Less admin to keep track of
◾️ A simple, transparent pricing structure
◾️A more straightforward approach to keeping your equipment compliant

Because adding new equipment shouldn’t mean adding another inspection date or unnecessary extra cost to your calendar!

Have you machinery or lifting equipment operating across both Northern Ireland and England?

You might assume LOLER and PUWER work exactly the same way across both jurisdictions.

The requirements are very similar, but the legislation itself is different.

In England:
LOLER 1998
PUWER 1998

In Northern Ireland:
LOLER (NI) 1999
PUWER (NI) 1999

That distinction is important when your equipment is being inspected and your documentation is being produced.

For businesses with sites, machinery or lifting equipment operating across different jurisdictions, it’s another reason to work with an inspection provider that understands where your equipment is being used, not simply what is being inspected.

⚠️ Safety Tip: Never lift with a twisted or knotted web sling.

Twisting or knotting a sling can prevent the load from being distributed evenly, reduce its strength and increase the risk of sudden failure under load.

Before every lift, operators should check that the sling is:

✅ Flat and free from twists
✅ Correctly positioned
✅ Free from knots, cuts and visible damage
✅ Suitable for the load being lifted

A simple pre-use check could prevent a serious incident.

👉 Would your operators spot the issue before the lift begins?

It might look like “just a couple of cracks" but when you’re working at height, there’s no room for risk! ⚠️

During a recent examination, our engineer identified two cracks in this MEWP bucket, resulting in an immediate fail ❌

Thorough inspections don’t just keep equipment compliant they help keep people safe on site.

This is why every inspection matters. ✅
