We load test your lifting equipment

At CERTEX, we perform numerous load tests, ranging from validation of lifting equipment to testing and quality control of suppliers' products. In addition to this, we can also assist you as a customer with the validation of your own lifting equipment.



Examples of load testing:

  • Steel wire rope and chain slings
  • Steel wire ropes
  • Roundslings and webbing slings
  • Ropes, mooring lines, and harbour towage
  • Lifting beams and lifting tools
  • Welded or forged constructions

In our workshop in Täby, we have a test bench with a capacity of up to 60 tons. It is calibrated by RISE and meets the requirements according to SS-EN ISO 7500-1 as per the following table:
