Load Testing
Load Testing Demonstration
SSI can inspect, test and certify all types of lifting appliances on location. We are a member of LEEA in the UK and follow the latest LOLER guidelines.
Load Testing is carried out by competent inspectors who, in addition to being LEEA / NSL approved, are certified to ASNT Level II in MPI / ET. Whenever possible, we provide Eddy Current Inspection on welded padeyes and other welded components thus saving time in preparation.
SSI has its own range of Water Weights, and Lifeboat Testing Bags and operators for the load testing of Cranes, BOP Hoists, Life Boats and Life Boat Davits etc
SSI utilizes different sized water bags for testing. They come in 12T, and 35T capacities and can be combined to achieve larger loads. Bags are fully rigged ready to hang and fill. Filling and emptying of bags is controlled and gradual. The load is measured accurately with a certified loadcell and read off a remote handheld display.
We use calibrated load cells ranging from 30 Tonne, 50 Tonne, 75 Tonne through to 150 Tonne allowing for an accuracy of +/-1%.
SSI is proud to be a member of LEEA.
