Mechanical Engineering

Liftsafe Engineering specializes in “out of the box” thinking when it comes to developing and implementing cost-effective, simple, and reliable mechanical solutions. Our staff has the skills, knowledge, and experience to meet your mechanical engineering requirements, no matter how big or small the job. We offer the services to solve your challenges, whether it’s a new component design, engineering a material handling system, or resolving problems with an existing peice of equipment. As required, our mechanical engineers participate in all stages of the project, from testing to advanced engineering. We have served the following industry sectors: residential, commercial, municipal, institutional, hospitality, personal services, entertainment, industrial, storage and warehousing, food production, pharma, water treatment, and more.
Common mechanical engineering services include:
OHSA Regulation 851, Section 72
Effective March 1, 2013, those responsible for professional engineering work in relation to production machinery or equipment must be licensed by Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO).
With the repeal of section 12(3)(a) of the Professional Engineers Act, individuals must now be licensed by PEO if they do any act within the practice of professional engineering on machinery or equipment used to produce products for their employer in their employer’s facility.
In 1984, when the exception was enacted, requirements existed for Ontario’s Ministry of Labour engineers to approve predevelopment reviews of proposed industrial processes and associated equipment. This requirement was replaced by Regulation 851 under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which introduced the current requirement for industry to have professional engineers approve Pre-Start Health and Safety Reviews (PSRs) prior to the start-up of newly installed or altered production equipment or machinery.

Custom Engineering

Concept

Taking a collaborative approach, we work with our clients to investigate all of the requirements of a project from a productive, environmental, usage and safety capacity. Then we use this information to inform our in-house design team.

Design

Our in-house design team combines their years of collective experience in manufacturing design and engineering with technical software and regulatory knowledge to design a solution for the project at hand to be sent for approval from our in-house engineering team.

Approval

Our in-house engineering team makes adjustments to make sure the initial design meets or exceeds all capacity, usage, environmental, safety and regulatory criteria and approves the project for fabrication.

Fabrication

Our team of CWB Certified welders brings the approved design concepts created by our design and engineering teams to life in our 30,000 sq ft fabrication facility.

Inspection

Once a project has completed the fabrication stage, it is inspected and tested to ensure all capacity, usage, environmental, safety and regulatory criteria are met or exceeded.

Installation

Once final inspection is completed, your project is ready for the installation phase, which includes physical installation, implementation of in-site training, adjustments (as needed), a Prestart Health and Safety Review, exemption letters, engineering sign-offs, and electrification according to CSA C22 standards (if applicable).
