A quick question - We have a SL10 Genie lifting device - manually operated. How often does it need an insurance examination (if at all). We have electric scissor lifts that are serviced and examined every six months, so arranging a formal inspection is not a problem.

You should be on a 12 month cycle in general terms as it does not lift people. Unless of course you are using it in harsh environments when even 3 months may be required, dependent on your competent testing person. Bob
