Industrial and manufacturing sites rely on overhead cranes, gantries, monorail hoists and lifting beams that operate day in, day out handling heavy loads in demanding conditions.
Test weights provide a controlled and measurable method of verifying that a crane can safely withstand its rated capacity while maintaining structural integrity and operational stability. By applying known loads, engineers can assess the crane’s performance under realistic working conditions, confirming that critical components and supporting structure operate as designed.
We hire proof load test weights for industrial and manufacturing sites anywhere in the UK and mainland Europe with configurations from 20kg to hundreds of tonnes.
Applications in industrial and manufacturing environments
Our test weights are used for proof load testing a wide range of lifting equipment in industrial and manufacturing sites, including:
- Bespoke fabricated lifting frames and fixtures
- Overhead cranes and bridge cranes
- Gantry cranes and portal cranes
- Monorail hoists and electric chain hoists
- Jib cranes and wall mounted slewing cranes
- Lifting beams and spreader beams
- Mechanical grabs
- Loading bays and dock equipment
Delivery
With stockists in England, Scotland and mainland Europe, we deliver proof load test weights to crane testing sites anywhere.
The full hire package – weights, inspections certificates and any requested rigging equipment – arrives ready for use.
