Page 36: Thorough Examinations
DEL approved agents is available on request. When should the thorough examinations take place? DEL authorise the tailift operator (but only the operator) to stand on the tailift in motion, and consequently the Thorough Examination must be done at least every six months. - Page 37 Del Equipment (UK) Ltd Operator/Maintenance Manual - Column Tailifts exactly how to perform the examination, in fact we want to discourage the enthusiastic amateur from “having a go”. Before commencing the examination the tailift should be cleaned to ensure no faults are hidden by dirt.
- Page 38 The DEL agent will normally have his own company forms on which to record any faults and his comments, however a standard DEL form (D003), which meets the Regulations is available.

- Page 40 The duty holder may decide to engage another qualified “competent person” to carry out the Thorough Examination and may want the DEL service engineer to only carry out the service. Del, however, do not recommend that a service be done “blind” and hence an inspection of the tailift is essential in order to ensure the lift will operate properly and safely.
