Proof load testing is essential at frequent intervals on most types of lifting equipment; a proof load test will demonstrate the equipment’s ability to bear the necessary loads and the fitness of the structure. These load tests are often carried out in conjunction with a thorough inspection, when a competent person will determine whether a proof load test is necessary in order to comply with regulations.

A proof test is carried out by applying a load to the lifting equipment; this is usually above the stated SWL of the structure to determine that it is capable of handling the stated working load limit without compromise. A proof load test is typically expressed as a % of the WLL that the device is intended to endure. Load cells or similar devices are typically used to determine the actual load and force calculations. We have our own loose test weights as well as a 30 tonne in-house test bed which we use to load test lifting equipment. So you can be assured of a competent service by our team and all the necessary documentation is supplied.
