Hoists & Winches

Load-holding, braking and operational testing for electric and manual hoists, winches and material-handling systems.

05

Structural Load Testing

Controlled loading and deflection monitoring for platforms, floors, mezzanines, runway beams and fabricated structures.

06

Access Systems

Testing for building maintenance units, davits, suspended access equipment, roof-safety systems and fall-protection assets.

07

Marine & Offshore

Proof testing for deck cranes, lifeboat davits, gangways, padeyes, lifting frames and offshore handling equipment.

08

Custom Test Programs

Project-specific test rigs, calibrated load application and engineered methodologies for non-standard assets.

09

Inspection & NDT

Pre- and post-test examination supported by visual inspection, dimensional checks and appropriate NDT methods.

Evidence built for scrutiny.

From the first lift plan to the final report, every stage is structured around control, traceability and a clear acceptance basis.

Before the load is applied.

Can testing be completed on site?+

Yes. Most programs can be delivered at the client’s facility or project site, subject to suitable access, ground conditions, exclusion zones and an approved methodology.

Do you test custom-fabricated equipment?+

Yes. Custom lifting devices and structures can be tested against an engineered test plan with project-specific acceptance criteria.

What happens if an asset does not pass?+

The outcome is documented clearly. Where appropriate, we can coordinate inspection, NDT, engineering review, rectification and controlled retesting.

Can you manage multiple assets or sites?+

Yes. Programs can be grouped by site, asset class or shutdown window with a consolidated register and reporting schedule.
