Crane Testing
When should load testing be considered?
Contact our team to discuss the testing requirements for your crane or lifting equipment. Provide its rated capacity, operating conditions, inspection history and details of any repairs, modifications or re-rating.
Your crane needs to be tested…
- On an annual basis to comply with SANS standards. However, SANS also specifies that if a Lifting Machinery Inspector deems the Crane as old or in a poor condition, more regular tests need to be performed.
- New Overhead crane systems SHALL be load tested prior to being placed into service.
- Existing crane system SHALL be load tested after modification or re-rating
- After a major component has been replaced or repaired on the load path of the crane
