Avoid Risks, Maintain
Machines

Preventive maintenance helps to prevent risks and damage, while ensuring your machines and systems have a longer service life. HANSA-FLEX is a system maintainer and can support you with many valuable services. Benefit from our extensive services in the field of hose management for your hydraulic hose lines and the performance and documentation of the legally prescribed inspections of various work equipment and systems by officially authorised persons.

The challenges and advantages of preventive maintenance

Whether occupational safety, system availability or cost savings, the conservation of natural resources, energy efficiency or digitalisation: the requirements for maintenance nowadays are as complex as they are numerous. System maintenance is increasingly based on proactive and forward-looking strategies to ensure there are as few breakdowns in production processes as possible. Systematic planning of servicing and inspections as part of preventive maintenance can reduce the number of unplanned machine failures and make a significant contribution to overall success on the shop floor.

Preventive maintenance of hydraulics and other components

The specific characteristics of hydraulic components such as hose lines or pressure accumulators and the legally prescribed inspection and replacement intervals that apply to them mean they are prime examples of equipment that requires professionally designed preventive maintenance plans.

Benefit from the tools and know-how of the HANSA-FLEX hydraulic specialists in the design, implementation and legally compliant, practical realisation of your individual maintenance strategy. Your machines will run more reliably for longer and your team will have more time on their hands for dealing with unscheduled events.

Operating systems and work equipment safely and in a legally compliant manner

Hydraulic hose lines have a limited service life and must be professionally inspected at regular intervals to ensure your machines and systems are operated in a safe and legally compliant manner.

The inspections must in each case be performed in accordance with the legally prescribed risk assessment and be properly documented. We support you from A to Z with 360° hose management in fulfilling these obligations. So you are in a better position to concentrate on your core business.

Hose Management

Inspection of Everything from Hose Lines to Lifting Platforms

Inspection of hydraulic hose lines

We carry out the legally prescribed checks of your hydraulic hose lines in accordance with BetrSichV / DGUV for you and ensure the legally compliant documentation of the results. The inspections are carried out directly for you on site by officially authorised persons for the inspection of hydraulic line equipment. Each inspection can be booked as an individual service or as part of our hose management package within our 360° hose management service.

Inspection of pressure accumulators

Pressure or hydraulic accumulators are work equipment that can lead to special hazards. As pressure vessels they are among the systems that require monitoring in accordance with product safety legislation and are classified in one of four categories in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). We can carry out the inspections required before commissioning for Category I hydraulic accumulators and the recurring inspections of Category I & II hydraulic accumulators. An officially authorised person for pressure equipment with additional qualifications will carry out these inspections for you.

Inspection of industrial hose lines

We inspect all types of hose lines for chemicals, foodstuffs, pharmaceutical products and other media. The inspections are carried out at our specialist centres for hose technology inspection or directly for you on site. For the mobile inspection service, an officially authorised person for inspections in accordance with TRBS 1203 in a fully equipped inspection vehicle carries out all the prescribed inspections. Inspection certificates, identification tag strips and inspection labels can be produced in the vehicle and applied immediately.

Inspection of lifting platforms

We carry out for you the regularly recurring inspections of lifting platforms and loading bridges in accordance with the European standards DIN EN 1493, DIN EN 1494 and DIN EN 1495. We also prepare all the legally required documentation of the inspections in accordance with the German Industrial Safety Act (BetrSichV). Our service technicians are certified experts for lifting platforms in accordance with DGUV Rule 308-002, which regulates the inspection of lifting platforms. They carry out visual inspections and functional tests in accordance with the requirements of GUV Rule R-500 “Operating work equipment”.
