Lifting Equipment Register & Inspection Software
Slings, shackles, hoists, and the rest of the rigging store, on one register.
Overview
A rigging store generates more inspection volume than anything else you service: chain slings, shackles, hoists, and accessories, examined in the hundreds per site visit. Core tracks each serialised item across your customers' sites, generates LOLER Reports of Thorough Examination (ROTE), keeps colour-coding schemes current, and gives customers their own portal view of the register.
