Proof load testing ensures that items of hydraulic lifting equipment can perform to the required manufacturer's specification. The proof load test is specific to each piece of equipment and includes a thorough examination of the equipment and its operation, including checking for welding flaws, hydraulic fluid leaks and other fundamental mechanical defects.
A proof load test involves applying a load to a structure up to and beyond its stated manufacturers working load limit, ensuring it is not just holding the load but is also not lifting a load beyond its specification. This test demonstrates if the equipment is safe to use.
We perform proof load tests on-site, ensuring that the equipment is stable and holding its load. By choosing Tekcal to carry out your proof load testing, you are opting for a streamlined and straightforward service provider.
When working in an industry with high risks of injury, you can never leave anything to chance. Therefore, it is your responsibility to have hydraulic lifting equipment tested on a regular basis to ensure everyone's safety.
