Testing of Lifting Accessories

Testing of Lifting Accessories: Guarantee of Safety and Accident-Free Operation

Why is annual inspection important?

Expert examination (confirmation of operability) of lifting mechanisms and equipment must be performed at least once a year. This procedure is critically important for equipment that has already been in use: it allows for the timely identification of defects, rejection of unsuitable elements, and prevention of accidents. The result — preservation of personnel life and health, as well as the integrity of the loads being moved.

Own equipment and resources for accurate diagnostics

To conduct high-quality inspections and tests, we have everything necessary:

•     Dynamometers (for precise measurement of actual loads).
•     Water-filled weights (for load testing on-site without involving external mechanisms).
•     Certified personnel (specialists who have undergone the necessary training and certification to perform expert examinations).
•     Test stand for static and dynamic load testing of hoists.
•     Verified measuring instruments (MI) and sets of special templates.

This allows us to quickly and reliably test lifting accessories in any conditions.

Convenient cooperation format

Our specialists conduct tests both at our own production facility and on the customer's premises. If in-depth testing or repairs are required, the product is transported to our production unit, where all necessary procedures are performed, followed by the return of the lifting accessory to working condition.

What types of equipment do we inspect?

Regular monitoring, in accordance with recommendations, applies to:

•     Slings of all types (textile, chain, rope, round slings).
•     Manual chain hoists and lever hoists with a lifting capacity from 0.1 to 20 tons.
•     Trolleys for moving hoists.
•     Electric hoists and winches.
•     Rigging attachment points (eye bolts, eye nuts, welded eyelets).
•     Rigging shackles of all types and load ratings.
•     Pulleys, sheaves, block and tackle systems.
•     Swivels and turnbuckles.
•     Lifting and moving clamps of all types.
•     Spreader beams of all designs and load ratings.
•     Jacks (mechanical and hydraulic).
