Lifting Equipment Tag Guide

Lifting gear that isn't clearly tagged can't be managed. A lifting equipment tag records what the item is, when it was last inspected and when the next inspection is due — the three facts a rigger or safety officer needs before a hook goes on.

What lifting tags carry

  • Equipment identity (serial or asset number).
  • Last inspection date.
  • Next inspection due date.
  • Status: serviceable, quarantine or out of service.

Matching the tag to the environment

Slings and chains get dragged across steel, dunked, boiled in sun and coated in grease. Tags need to survive abrasion, UV and handling. Four-stage and three-stage flange-style tags suit inspection workflows where each stage is torn off as the item progresses; simple swing tags suit individual gear items.

Prime Tags supplies lifting and rigging tags, inspection tags and multi-stage flange tags — all made in Australia and shipped daily. If your register needs sequential numbering or QR codes, we can print those too.
