Test weight and cradle Hire – delivery, logistics and support
At Test Weights, we make hiring test weights and cradles straightforward, efficient and hassle-free. With extensive industry experience and a large stock of test weights, we can help ensure your load testing project runs safely and on schedule.
Ordering test weights and cradles
When you contact us, we’ll discuss your testing requirements, including the type of equipment being tested, the load required and any site-specific considerations.
Using this information, we can recommend the most suitable test weight and cradle (if required) configurations for your project. We’ll ensure you have the correct combination of weights, cradles and lifting accessories to carry out your testing safely, efficiently and in full compliance with industry requirements.

Fast and flexible supply
We understand that project schedules can change, which is why we offer flexible delivery options wherever possible.
For many standard requirements, we can supply test weights at short notice. Larger or more complex projects may require additional planning, particularly where multiple loads or specialist transport arrangements are involved. Thanks to our extensive stock we’re able to provide reliable availability and responsive turnaround times.
Delivery and site logistics
We deliver our test weights using transport designed for the safe handling of heavy loads. Depending on the total weight required, deliveries may be made in one or multiple loads.
Our team carefully plans each delivery to ensure weights arrive in the correct sequence for efficient unloading and positioning on site. This helps reduce unnecessary handling, speeds up setup times and supports safe working practices throughout the project.
Where required, we can also prepare detailed layout and rigging drawings in advance to help streamline the proof load test process and improve overall site efficiency.

Whether you’re carrying out crane testing, proof load testing, compliance testing, UDL / ground load testing or requiring ballast weights, you can rely on us to deliver a professional, dependable service from start to finish.
