SERVICES/PROOF LOADING & TESTING

Don’t take its word for it. Test it.

Proof loading and destruction testing on our own calibrated test bed — up to 10 tonnes, assemblies up to 6 metres, single items or full batches. Certificate with every test.

TWO WAYS TO TEST

Prove it, or break it

Routine proof loading keeps critical assemblies in service with confidence. Destruction testing tells you what a new design will actually take.

PROOF LOADING

2× the working load, held for 2 minutes

We proof test at twice the WLL or SWL for a minimum of two minutes — tailored to your requirement where the job demands it. Recommended routinely for all critical lifting and rigging applications.

DESTRUCTION TESTING

Pull it until it breaks — on purpose

Destructive pull-testing determines the actual break load of an assembly — the honest number, not the theoretical one. The right call for new designs before they go anywhere near a load.

WHY TEST WITH US

Numbers you can put your name to

CALIBRATED Machinery calibrated to BS EN ISO 376:2011 and re-tested every year — so the reading on the dial is accurate.
IN-HOUSE Made and tested under the same roof — no shipping assemblies out for testing, no waiting on a third party.
EXPERIENCED Tests run by the riggers who build assemblies every day — they know what failure looks like before the gauge does.
DOCUMENTED Every test leaves with a proof load certificate to industry standards — ready for your records and your auditor.
