UVV inspection
for containers.
Recurring inspection of skip and roll-off containers by our qualified inspector — in our Reinickendorf workshop or on your own yard.
Operating containers means having them inspected.
Skip and roll-off containers are work equipment. The operator must have them inspected regularly for safe condition — whether they run in your own fleet or are rented out.
The German Industrial Safety Regulation requires recurring inspection of work equipment by a qualified person.
DGUV Information 214-016 (skip loaders and skip containers) and 214-017 (roll-off tippers and roll-off containers) define scope, criteria and the sample inspection report.
The technical rule for industrial safety defines who may inspect: vocational training, professional experience and recent hands-on work with the equipment.
At least one inspection per year is recommended, with shorter intervals under intensive use. The binding interval follows from your own risk assessment.
What we check on the container.
Visual and functional inspection along the DGUV sample inspection report. Every container is recorded and documented individually.
Four steps, one appointment.

We bundle your entire fleet into one appointment — in our workshop or on your yard.
Inspection
Visual and functional inspection by our qualified inspector, container by container, to DGUV 214-016 and 214-017.
Report
You receive the inspection report, sticker and defect list. We fix any defects on request.
Inspection and repair from one workshop.
The difference to a pure inspection service: if we find a defect, we can fix it right away. Corroded floors, distorted frames, broken latches — work we have been doing ourselves for over 20 years.
Your container leaves the yard once, not twice, and you need no second supplier for the rework. On request we take on your entire fleet under a service contract including due-date tracking.
Frequently asked questions.
How often does a container have to be inspected?
DGUV Information 214-016 and 214-017 recommend at least one inspection per year. Intensive use requires shorter intervals. The binding interval is set by the operator in the risk assessment.
Who may carry out the UVV inspection on containers?
Only a qualified person as defined by the German Industrial Safety Regulation, with the necessary knowledge from vocational training, professional experience and recent hands-on work. At our workshop this is done by a correspondingly qualified member of staff.
What happens if I do not have my containers inspected?
The inspection is the operator duty. After an accident, the employers liability insurance association and your insurer will ask for the latest inspection report. Without it you risk recourse claims and a fine under the Industrial Safety Regulation.
Do you also inspect on our own yard?
Yes. In Berlin and Brandenburg we come to you from a minimum number of containers. For single containers, an appointment at our workshop in Berlin-Reinickendorf is usually faster.
What does a container UVV inspection cost?
The price depends on container type, quantity and place of inspection. Larger fleets are considerably cheaper per unit. You receive a quote within 24 hours.
Which containers do you inspect?
Skip and roll-off containers of all common designs and sizes from roughly 7 to 36 cubic metres — open skips, lidded and closed containers.
Will I be reminded of the next inspection?
Under a service contract we track the due dates for your entire fleet and contact you in good time. Without a contract, the next due date is stated on the inspection report.
