Every piece of lifting equipment on a site needs a visible, current inspection status. Inspection tags make that status physical: if the tag says the inspection is current, the gear can be used; if it's missing or expired, the gear stands down.
What inspectors look for
- A tag on every item of lifting gear in service.
- Last inspection and next due dates, clearly legible.
- A tag that hasn't been altered — tamper-evident designs help.
- Consistency with the equipment register.
Choosing tag types for lifting gear
Wire and fibre slings, chain slings, shackles and lifting points each suit different tag fittings. Swing tags on cable ties suit slings; self-locking tags suit items where the tag must not fall off; multi-stage tags suit inspection workflows with hold points.
Keep the register in step
A tag is only as good as the register behind it. PrimeTrack links each tag's QR or barcode to a live record with automatic inspection reminders — so gear never silently passes its due date.
Prime Tags supplies inspection tags and lifting and rigging tags, made in Australia with sequential numbering and QR options, shipped daily nationwide.
