Should overload protection devices be standard on all lifting equipment – even that under 1t capacity?

– Definitely, units operating without them are unsafe (70%)

– It’d be too difficult to enforce (22%)

– Lifting light loads is safe without them (4%)

– It will happen eventually (2%)

– I don’t care either way (2%)

– It’d be too expensive, units wouldn’t be saleable (0%)
