Lifting equipment management for mines
LIFTSAFECreated by Mawawa Control and Instrumentation
LiftSafe is a lifting equipment management system created by Mawawa Control and Instrumentation for mines. It replaces paper registers with digital records for tagging, inspections, certificates, and equipment issue and return.
Scan an equipment QR tag to see who has the item, its inspection history, monthly colour code and certificate status. Equipment without a valid certificate cannot be issued.
Why mines need it
Monthly inspectionLoad test and OEM certificates sit in files and email inboxes. During an audit nobody can find the one that matters.
A sling with an expired load test looks the same as a good one. Nothing stops it from being issued.
Equipment leaves the store without a record of the person, the time or the condition it came back in.
Ticked paper checklists have to be collected, read and filed before anyone sees what failed.
What LiftSafe does
LiftSafe refuses to issue any item whose load test certificate is missing or expired, and says why.
Stainless steel QR tags on every item. Scan with a phone, tablet or USB scanner to open its full history.
Pass or fail jobcards linked to the item's OEM and load test certificates, with signatures and dates.
Every issue and return is recorded against the person, with time, signature and condition on return.
Available, issued and not usable, in clear colours. Click a colour to see exactly which items are in it.
Daily, weekly and monthly summaries, plus alerts for failed, overdue and quarantined items, sent to the right people.
Import your existing register from Excel, or scan tags one after another and register each item in seconds.
Search by tag, serial number or description. Separate terms with commas to pull up a group of items together.
Print or share jobcards and certificates as PDF. Every change is kept in an audit trail.
Equipment we tag and track
Each type gets its own inspection checklist, and the tag goes where it never covers the markings, ferrules or splices an inspector needs to see.
Bow and dee shackles, screw pin and safety pin.
Soft eye and thimble eye slings, single and multi-leg.
Single and multi-leg chain slings with hooks and shorteners.
Manual chain blocks and hoists.
Ratchet lever hoists and pull-lifts.
Synthetic slings, spreader beams, plate and beam clamps.
How it works on your site
Our team works alongside your artisans during the monthly inspection, so there is no separate shutdown and no extra paperwork for your people.
Scan · register · inspectA stainless QR tag is fitted to each item, positioned so it never covers markings, ferrules or splices.
Description, serial number, SWL and location are captured as the tag is scanned.
Load test and OEM certificates are attached to the item they belong to.
Monthly inspections are recorded on digital jobcards, pass or fail, with the colour code.
Items are issued and returned by scan, and management gets the reports automatically.
Built for underground
Records are captured on the device and saved on the spot, with no connection needed. When the team comes back to surface, everything is in the system and on the dashboard.
Works offlineLaptop or rugged phone charged, backup from the night before on a flash drive.
Each item is tagged, registered and inspected at the workplace. Nothing waits for a network.
An item that fails is marked not usable immediately, so it cannot be issued again.
Counts checked against the day's list, backup taken, reports ready for the foreman and engineer.
For the mine's IT department
LiftSafe installs on the mine's own server or a dedicated PC. It does not need the internet to run, and it was built with mining IT security reviews in mind.

Questions mines ask us
No. LiftSafe runs on the device and the mine's own server, so equipment can be registered, inspected and issued with no signal. Everything shows on the dashboard as soon as the device is back on surface.
On the mine's own server or a dedicated PC on the mine's network. The data belongs to the mine. Nothing has to be sent to an outside cloud service.
Stainless steel tags with a laser-engraved QR code and the tag number printed beside it. They are fixed with coated stainless cable ties, so they survive mud, water and handling underground.
The tag number is engraved next to the QR code, so it can be typed in instead of scanned. A replacement tag is then linked to the same item, and its full history stays intact.
No. LiftSafe uses the mine's own checklists and monthly colour codes. The artisan ticks the same checks on a phone or laptop instead of on paper.
We tag and load equipment during your normal monthly inspection. A team can register a few hundred items a day, and an existing Excel register can be imported in minutes.
Any lifting equipment with a serial number or asset number: shackles, wire rope and chain slings, webbing slings, chain blocks, lever hoists, beams and clamps.
Each site gets a quote based on the number of items, users and the level of support needed. Book a site visit and we will prepare one for you.
