class=\"translation-block\" href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><a class=\"translation-block\" href=\"#sources\">Sources<\/a><\/aside><article class=\"sk-article\"><div class=\"sk-callout translation-block\">Quick answer: in Germany, construction hoists that carry persons are installations subject to monitoring under the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV). An approved inspection body (Z\u00dcS) inspects them before first use and then at least every 12 months, alternating main and intermediate inspections. After each re-erection on a new site, a qualified person may carry out the inspection.<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"translation-block\" id=\"scope\">Which hoists are covered?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Annex 2, Section 2 of the BetrSichV includes construction hoists (Baustellenaufz\u00fcge) that are temporarily installed to carry persons, or persons and goods, to the levels of a building or structure during construction work. They are Annex IV machines under the Machinery Directive because of the risk of falling from more than 3 m.<\/p>\n<ul><li class=\"translation-block\">Personnel and material hoists (EN 12159): installations subject to monitoring, inspected by a Z\u00dcS.<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">Transport platforms (EN 16719): they also carry trained persons and materials to building levels, so confirm their classification with your inspection body.<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">Goods-only hoists (EN 12158): ordinary work equipment, inspected by a qualified person.<\/li><\/ul>\n<div class=\"sk-note translation-block\">Construction hoists are not lifts under the Lifts Directive 2014\/33\/EU, which expressly excludes them. The BetrSichV covers them through the Machinery Directive route instead.<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"translation-block\" id=\"who\">Who inspects, and when?<\/h2>\n<ul><li class=\"translation-block\">Before first use: inspection by a Z\u00dcS, such as T\u00dcV or DEKRA.<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">After each re-erection on a new site: for installations intended for mobile use, the inspection may be carried out by a qualified person (zur Pr\u00fcfung bef\u00e4higte Person).<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">After changes that affect the design or operation: inspection by a Z\u00dcS. Other changes relevant to safety may be inspected by a qualified person.<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">Main inspection (Hauptpr\u00fcfung): by a Z\u00dcS at intervals of no more than two years.<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">Intermediate inspection (Zwischenpr\u00fcfung): by a Z\u00dcS halfway between two main inspections.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">With the maximum two-year cycle, an inspection body visits at least every 12 months. The employer sets the actual intervals in the risk assessment and may choose shorter ones. An inspection counts as on time if it is carried out within two months after the due date.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"translation-block\">Goods-only hoists<\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">For hoists that carry materials only, DGUV Rule 100-500 requires an inspection before commissioning at each site and after every conversion, an inspection by a competent person at least once a year, and a check of the limit switches and brakes by the operator before each shift.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"translation-block\" id=\"documents\">Documents and markings on site<\/h2>\n<ul><li class=\"translation-block\">The Z\u00dcS inspection certificate (Pr\u00fcfbescheinigung), kept at the place of use for the whole period of use<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">A durable marking in the cage, such as an inspection sticker, showing the month and year of the next inspection and the inspecting body<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">The risk assessment (Gef\u00e4hrdungsbeurteilung), which is required even for CE-marked equipment<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">The EC declaration of conformity and the manufacturer\u2019s instruction handbook<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">An inspection log (Pr\u00fcfbuch) kept on site, as recommended by BG BAU<\/li><\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"translation-block\" id=\"emergency\">Emergency plan and rescue<\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">A person trapped in the cage must be able to call for help. Before commissioning, the employer prepares an emergency plan that names the location, the responsible employer, the persons with access to the installation, the persons able to free trapped persons, first-aid contacts and the expected start of a rescue, together with the emergency release instructions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">At the first inspection, the Z\u00dcS checks that the emergency plan and the EC declaration of conformity are available.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"translation-block\" id=\"ce\">CE marking and the 2027 Machinery Regulation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Under the Machinery Directive, a hoist for persons may be placed on the market through internal production control when the harmonised standard, such as EN 12159, is fully applied, or through EC type-examination by a notified body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">From 20 January 2027, the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023\/1230 applies. Devices for lifting persons with a fall hazard of more than 3 m are listed in Annex I Part B, and existing EC type-examination certificates remain valid until they expire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The SEKLIFT SM-GTP-101 holds an EC type-examination certificate to EN 12159 (CAC-M-0001-3, Notified Body 2828).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"translation-block\" id=\"faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"sk-faq\"><details><summary class=\"translation-block\">How often must a construction hoist be inspected in Germany?<\/summary><p class=\"translation-block\">Hoists that carry persons need a Z\u00dcS main inspection at least every two years and an intermediate inspection halfway, so at least one Z\u00dcS inspection every 12 months, plus an inspection after each re-erection on a new site.<\/p><\/details><details><summary class=\"translation-block\">Does a Z\u00dcS have to inspect after every move to a new site?<\/summary><p class=\"translation-block\">No. For installations intended for mobile use, the inspection after re-erection on a new site may be carried out by a qualified person. The first inspection and the recurring inspections are carried out by a Z\u00dcS.<\/p><\/details><details><summary class=\"translation-block\">Is a goods-only construction hoist subject to monitoring?<\/summary><p class=\"translation-block\">No. Goods-only hoists are ordinary work equipment. A competent person inspects them before use at each site and at least once a year.<\/p><\/details><details><summary class=\"translation-block\">Does CE marking replace the inspection?<\/summary><p class=\"translation-block\">No. CE marking concerns placing the machine on the market. The employer still needs a risk assessment and the inspections required by the BetrSichV.<\/p><\/details><\/div>\n<div class=\"sk-product-bridge\"><strong class=\"translation-block\">Planning a construction hoist for a project in Germany?<\/strong><p class=\"translation-block\">Compare SEKLIFT rack-and-pinion construction hoists and request the documentation your inspection body needs.<\/p><a class=\"sk-btn sk-btn--orange translation-block\" href=\"\/products\/construction-hoists\/\">View construction hoist models \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"translation-block\" id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<div class=\"sk-sources\"><ul><li class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gesetze-im-internet.de\/betrsichv_2015\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV), Annex 2 Section 2 and Sections 3, 14\u201317<\/a><\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">TRBS 1201 Part 4: Inspection of lift installations; TRBS 1203: Qualified persons<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">DGUV Rule 100-500, Chapter 2.30: Builders\u2019 hoists for goods<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">BG BAU module B 145: Construction hoists carrying persons<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">Directive 2006\/42\/EC and Regulation (EU) 2023\/1230 on machinery<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">This article summarises the rules as of October 2026 and is not legal advice.
