LOAD TESTING CAPABILITIES
Testing for New and Existing Equipment
From newly installed systems to existing equipment that has undergone repairs or modifications, Handling Services provides controlled load testing designed to verify safe operation and dependable performance. Our technicians evaluate the equipment under load while checking the critical functions that allow your lifting system to perform safely and reliably.
01
New Equipment Load Testing
Verify newly installed cranes, hoists, and lifting systems before they are placed into normal service.
02
Post-Repair Testing
Confirm proper operation after significant repairs, component replacements, or other work that may affect equipment performance.
03
Modified & Upgraded Equipment
Test equipment following structural, mechanical, electrical, or capacity-related modifications to verify system performance.
04
Overhead Cranes & Hoists
Perform controlled load testing on bridge cranes, jib cranes, hoists, and other lifting equipment across a range of industrial applications.
05
Operational Function Testing
Evaluate lifting, lowering, travel, braking, controls, limit devices, and other operating functions while the equipment is under load.
06
Testing Documentation
Provide documentation of completed testing to support your facility’s equipment records, inspection programs, and compliance requirements.
VERIFIED PERFORMANCE
Know What Your Equipment Can Handle
A crane may operate normally without a load and still reveal problems when placed under working conditions. Load testing provides a controlled way to verify performance before the equipment is relied on in day-to-day operations.
Confirm Rated Capacity
Verify that lifting equipment performs properly when subjected to its required test load.
Identify Problems Under Load
Reveal braking, mechanical, electrical, structural, or operational issues that may not appear during unloaded operation.
