About this file

This document is an Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) Four Post Lift Inspection Report for Harris County Precinct 2, located at 11901 W. Hardy Rd. in Houston, TX. The inspection was conducted on September 6, 2024, by a certified lift inspector named Jeff Buchanan (Inspector ID 2067) from Certified Lift Inspectors/Arnold Oil Equipment. The inspection covered a Rotary Lift model SM18N001, with an 18,000 lb capacity, serial number JIV07J0001, which is an ALI Certified Lift with certification serial number AL00343038E.

The lift was hydraulically driven and the inspection revealed several noteworthy observations, including a small air leak in the hydraulic cylinder and a missing left sheave cover. The lift was checked against numerous detailed inspection points covering structural components, electrical systems, mechanical operations, safety features, and potential wear or damage. While most points were compliant, the report noted that no operator training log was on site, which could potentially impact safety compliance. The inspection concluded with the lift being marked as having "Passed" the overall inspection, despite the minor issues identified.

However, they may negatively impact operator safety and compliance with applicable codes, standards, & regulations (i.e. building/electrical codes, OSHA, Provincial Health & Safety).

Requirement:

The lift inspector shall evaluate for compliance and document the following requirement: "The owner or employer shall document that lift operators have been trained in accordance with ANSI/ALI ALOIM:2020 section 5.2 and shall maintain an Operator Training Log indicating each lift the operator is trained to operate."

For each submitted training log record the name of the lift operator

Is the log compliant?
