THE PROCESS
LOAD TESTING AND INSPECTION PROCESS

  • Visual inspection

    A detailed assessment of the hoist housing, gears, and hooks. We measure for "hook-stretch" and chain wear to identify potential points of failure before testing begins.
     
  • Proof load testing

    Using calibrated weights, we subject equipment to 110% – 125% of its rated capacity. This includes static brake tests and dynamic movement checks to ensure mechanical integrity under load.
     
  • Non-destructive testing (NDT)

    Where required, we utilise Dye Penetrant or Magnetic Particle Inspection to detect microscopic surface cracks in critical load-bearing components.
     
  • Maintenance and lubrication

    Every service includes cleaning and industrial-grade lubrication of the load chain and internal pawl mechanisms to ensure smooth, "crunch-free" operation.
