Equipment Testing & Service
Normal wear and tear can lead to equipment malfunctions and defects that cause injuries and unexpected work interruptions. As a result, preventive maintenance and rigorous testing help ensure that high pressure hydraulic equipment is functioning correctly and is safe to use. Engineered Rigging has a state-of-the-art Equipment Testing & Service Center at our 40,000 square foot facility in Russellville, Arkansas, where our highly trained technicians provide a variety of services to optimize the safety and performance of heavy lifting equipment including preventive maintenance, repairs, dynamic testing and gantry crane load tests.
Dynamic Testing
Dynamic testing of hydraulic equipment simulates a maximum load situation in a controlled environment. It differs from traditional static testing in that we pressurize the plunger during the full stroke. This approach identifies any scratches or damage which could cause leaking or failure. In contrast, static testing only pressurizes the plunger at three levels, so scratches and damage outside these three levels go unnoticed. Hidden defects are identified sooner with dynamic testing.
Engineered Rigging’s four-part safety and performance testing process includes:
- A rigorous, multipoint visual inspection of all system components including pumps, hoses, manifold, etc.
- A dynamic test which simulates a maximum load and tests the equipment across the entire stroke in a controlled environment. By testing at 105% load capacity, we ensure the over-pressure relief valve properly activates.
- Repair or replacement of any worn or faulty components.
- A thorough cleaning of the equipment so it is returned to you looking its best and operating in top condition.
Upon passing our thorough testing process, Engineered Rigging issues a Safety & Performance Tested Certificate which can be added to your equipment maintenance records.
Load Tests
Engineered Rigging provides load tests for hydraulic gantry cranes to ensure their safety, reliability and performance. A load test is conducted in a controlled environment to verify that a crane can safely handle its maximum rated load and properly perform all of its functions. Load testing is a critical component of preventive maintenance for gantries as it identifies defects, damage or weak points that may cause accidents, injuries and costly work stoppages. Let our team configure a test for your equipment according to regulatory requirements for your machine.
