Proof Load Testing With Our Own Weights
We own the test weights, the trucks, and the trailers that haul them. No third-party weight rental, no waiting on someone else's schedule. Testing happens at your facility, on your crane, on your timeline.
Tested to the Level Your Operation Needs
We test up to 125 percent of rated capacity. Most customers run 100 to 105 percent, and some prefer 95 percent to avoid pushing a full overload on older equipment.
You choose the level with us, and the crane lifts, holds, and travels in multiple directions under load before it passes.
Above 100 tons. High-capacity cranes are within range.
A Report You Can Hand to an Auditor
Every overhead crane load test ends with a detailed written report: the load applied, the lifts and holds performed, the directional travel completed, and confirmation the crane passed.
It goes in your equipment file with us and your compliance records with you.
When a Load Test Is Called For
New installations, altered cranes, and repairs to load-bearing components all call for a proof load test before the crane returns to service.
Many operations also test on a set schedule alongside their inspection program.
WHAT TO EXPECT
One call today, and your cranes are documented, compliant, and off your worry list.
Reach Out
Call or send the form. Testing is scheduled same-day, on the phone.
On-Site Assessment
Weights arrive on our trucks, and the test runs at your facility.
Back To Lifting
The crane passes, the report is in your hands, and it's back to work.
Pair It With an Inspection
Load testing is a separate service from inspection, but we quote both for the same trip.
One visit covers the CICB-certified inspection and the crane load test, one report set covers your compliance file.

FAQs
What is a proof load test?
A proof load test loads the crane beyond its rated capacity, typically 100 to 125 percent, and runs it through lifts, holds, and travel to prove the structure and hoist perform under load. It's the standard way to verify a crane before it returns to service.
What happens if my crane fails the load test?
We document the deficiency in your report and quote the repair path. Give us a PO on-site and correction work can be scheduled immediately, with common wear parts like wire ropes stocked or sourced same-day through local vendors.
How much does a crane load test cost?
Capacity and site drive the price, since heavier cranes need more weight hauled in. We quote by phone, and pairing the test with an inspection on the same trip keeps the combined cost down.
Can you load test hoists as well as full cranes?
Yes. Hoists, bridge, gantry, and jib cranes all get tested with the same weights and documented in the same report format, on any brand, whether we installed the equipment or not.
