/ Crane load testing services
Our crane load testing services verify crane performance, operational safety and compliance with applicable standards and project requirements.
Load testing can be performed during commissioning, after modifications, following repairs or as part of periodic inspection and certification activities for offshore, vessel-mounted and industrial cranes and lifting equipment.
As OEM, we combine load testing with functional testing to verify not only lifting capacity, but also correct crane functionality under load conditions. This helps confirm that crane systems, movements and operational functions perform as intended during actual operating conditions.
Meeting crane load test requirements and standards
Compliance with regulations and industry standards
Our crane load testing services are performed in accordance with applicable industry standards, certification requirements and project specifications.
Depending on the crane type and operational environment, this can include:
- Maritime and offshore regulations
- Client-specific requirements
Using testing equipment and experienced specialists, we support safe and compliant crane operations.
Periodic testing and inspections
We can provide crane load testing during commissioning, after major repairs or modifications, and at defined inspection intervals.
Testing frequency depends on:
- Appication regulations
- Crane type and configuration
- Operational conditions
- Certification requirements
Periodic load testing supports operational safety, compliance and reliable crane performance.
Our crane load testing procedure
Pre-test inspection and risk assessment
Before testing, our specialists assess equipment condition, operational limitations and testing requirements.
This can include:
- Inspection of critical components
- Verification of documentation
- Test planning
- Operational risk assessment
This ensures controlled and safe execution of testing activities.
Execution of static and dynamic proof load tests
Load tests are performed using calibrated testing equipment and controlled procedures.
Depending on project requirements, testing can include:
- Static proof load testing
- Dynamic load testing
- Functional testing
- Load monitoring and measurement
Testing activities are aligned with operational requirements and applicable standards.
Advanced testing equipment
Water bags for controlled load testing
Depending on project requirements and operational conditions, we use water bags as part of our crane load testing activities.
Benefits of using water bags:
- Controlled load adjustments
- Efficient mobilisation
- Reduced logistical complexity
This supports safe and efficient execution of load tests across different operational environments.
Load cells and monitoring equipment
Load cells and monitoring equipment are used to accurately verify applied loads during crane load testing activities.
This supports controlled test execution and reliable reporting and documentation.
Load testing for different crane types
Offshore, vessel-mounted and industrial cranes
We perform load testing for osshore, vessel-mounted and industrial cranes operating in demanding operational environments.
Testing procedures are adapted to crane configuration, operational and certification requirements.
Overhead, gantry and mobile cranes
Load testing can be performed for:
- Overhead cranes
- Gantry cranes
- Mobile cranes
- Land based pedestal cranes
- Lifting and handling equipment
Testing scope and procedures are adapted to the equipment type and operational requirements.
Certification and reporting
Crane load test certificates
Following successful completion of testing activities, we provide load test documentation and reporting aligned with project and regulatory requirements.
Depending on project scope and certification requirements, load testing activities can be witnessed by class or certification bodies as part of approval and compliance processes.
Reporting and load data
Testing activities can include:
- Digital reporting
- Load measurement data
- Inspection findings
- Load charts and test documentation
This supports traceability, compliance and future inspection activities.
