Cargo Gear Load Testing Services

Our extensive range of cargo gear load testing services ensures that your equipment is always in optimal condition. We understand the critical role that well-maintained cargo handling equipment plays in maritime operations, and we are dedicated to delivering the highest standards of service.

Comprehensive Cargo Gear Load Testing Services

Our range of lifeboat services includes:
  • Load Testing of Cranes and Derricks: We conduct load testing for cranes, derricks, and other lifting appliances to verify their safe working load (SWL) and ensure they can handle the required loads without failure.
  • Inspection of Lifting Gear: Regular inspections of wires, hooks, shackles, slings, and other lifting gear to identify any signs of wear and tear, corrosion, or damage that could compromise safety.
  • Certification and Compliance: We provide certification services for all cargo gear after thorough testing and inspection, ensuring that your equipment meets IMO, SOLAS, and Flag State regulations.
  • Dynamic Load Testing: Dynamic load testing services to simulate real operational conditions, ensuring that the equipment performs reliably under load and movement.
  • Proof Load Testing: We conduct proof load testing to validate the load-bearing capacity of cargo handling equipment, ensuring that it can safely lift and handle the specified weights.
  • Visual and NDT Inspection: Comprehensive visual inspections and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to assess the integrity of cargo gear and identify any potential issues that could lead to failure.

Compliance and Accreditation for Cargo Gear Load Testing

Our services comply with IMO and Flag State regulations, and we are certified by leading classification societies. We have approvals from top manufacturers, ensuring that our cargo gear load testing services meet the highest industry standards.
