Proof testing not only helps prevent accidents but also extends the lifespan of your equipment by identifying potential issues before they become critical failures.
Rigging Equipment Inspection
Regular inspection of rigging equipment is essential to maintain safety and efficiency in lifting operations. Our team conducts comprehensive inspections of rigging gear, including shackles, blocks, elevator links, and spreader bars. These inspections identify wear and tear, corrosion, and any other signs of damage that could compromise the equipment's performance. Through detailed visual and non-destructive testing, we confirm that all rigging equipment meets the required safety standards. Our rigorous inspection protocols help prevent accidents and downtime, allowing your lifting operations to run smoothly and safely.
Load Testing Equipment
Load testing is a crucial service that verifies your lifting equipment can handle the maximum loads specified for its use.Our load testing services involve applying controlled loads to equipment such as cranes, hoists, and load cells, verifying their capacity and performance. This testing helps identify any weaknesses or defects that could lead to failure during actual operations. By performing load tests, we provide assurance that your equipment is capable of safely lifting and moving the required loads, thereby enhancing overall safety and reliability in your operations.
