Crane Load Testing

Crane load testing is a critical process to verify the integrity of your crane's lifting capacity. We ensure that all tests are performed using certified load cells and calibrated weights, in accordance with AS1418 and AS2550 standards. Our load testing checks the crane's structural integrity, mechanical system functionality, and the performance of key components, such as:

• Hoisting Systems

• Crane Deflection Testing as per AS1418 - Deflection limits of crane structural members

• Testing of Braking Systems

• Load Indication Systems

• Testing Safety Features

We perform these tests to verify that the crane can handle the specified load limits without risk of failure, ensuring safety and compliance.

Crane Commissioning

Our crane commissioning services ensure that newly installed or refurbished cranes are fully operational and compliant with relevant Australian and international standards. This process includes:

• Initial Inspections: We check for correct installation, alignment, and functionality.

• Function & System Testing: We test all crane systems to ensure proper operation, including electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical systems.

• Safety Compliance: We verify that all safety features are in place and functioning correctly, including emergency stop systems and load monitoring devices.

• Performance Verification: Load testing, operational trials, and system checks to confirm that the crane meets the required operational standards.

• Structural Load Testing: Deflection testing at rated capacity to ensure crane meets Design Requirements.

• Brake Testing / Power Failure Simulation Testing: Checking for braking application and brake adjustment.

Offshore Crane Load Testing (DNV & API Requirements)

For offshore operations, we specialize in offshore crane load testing in accordance with DNV and API standards. This includes:

• Load Testing and Certification: Compliance with offshore industry regulations, ensuring cranes operate safely in hazardous environments.

• Inspection and Assessment: Detailed inspection of all critical crane components, including boom, hoists, and structure, in line with international standards.

• NDT (Non-Destructive Testing): We offer NDT services to inspect load-bearing structures for signs of fatigue or wear without compromising the integrity of the equipment.

• Rope Inspections: Specialised rope inspections and NDT testing.
