Why Regular Inspection & Load Testing Matters
Ensure safety. Lifting gear and machinery-moving equipment degrade over time. Regular inspection prevents catastrophic failures.
Compliance & liability. Many industrial clients and workplaces require documented proof that gear is inspected and load-tested. We supply certified documentation.
Reliability. By testing before every major lift (or regularly), you avoid last-minute gear failures, delays or unsafe lifts — saving time and potential downtime.
Peace of mind. Whether you rent gear, own it, or rely on third-party lifting: you know exactly what gear is safe — and what isn’t.
How Our Process Works
Initial gear inspection & risk assessment — We assess each piece: condition, wear, load history and suitability for your project.
Load-test setup — We safely set up load-tests: weight blocks, controlled load application, test protocols.
Perform load-test — Under supervised conditions, we load test to required load (per manufacturer or regulatory spec) and check for deformation/failure.
Documentation & reporting — After the test, we produce a full report with results, pass/fail status, gear condition, serial numbers, recommended next-inspection date or repairs.
Recertification (if required) — We offer recertification or replacement recommendations for any gear that fails inspection or doesn’t meet standards.
Who Should Use This Service
Industrial plants scheduling maintenance or shutdowns
Construction sites using cranes, hoists or lifting gear
