Proof Load Testing
Proof Load Testing of Pharmaceutical Rotation Frame assembly on site using 32 20kg hand test weights.
Proof Load Test left for 5 minutes to ensure the stability of the frame and ensure the stainless steel welds remained free from cracks after the weights had been removed from the frame.
Full certification issued on successful test.

Proof Load Testing of Aircraft Staging at Helicopter Repair Facility in Hampshire.
The correct number of hand test weights were placed on the staging and left for the specified time to overload the staging.
Once the load had been removed the staging was thoroughly examined for deformation, cracks to welds and to ensure all parts were free from defects.

Small Boat Lifting Frame Proof Load Test.
A local fishing club asked Hampshire Lifting Gear to Proof Load Test their Boat Lifting Frame.
On our recommendations the manual hand chain blocks were renewed due to corrosion due to the salt water environment and their bearing points being beyond discard criteria.

Swing Jib Cranes Installed
Two more Swing Jib Cranes installed at engineering company in Hampshire.
Demag 250kg SWL 415v 3 phase hoist with manual trolley fitted to a 3m span by 3m high Swing Jib Crane to load and unload highly expensive hoovercraft parts.
Demag 500kg SWL 415v 3 phase hoist with manual trolley fitted to a 3m span by 4m high Swing Jib Crane again to facilate loading and unloading of a Mazak CNC machining centre.
Crash Test Swing Jib Crane Installation
We recently designed and installed an under braced 500 kg SWL Swing Jib Crane and Demag Electric Chain Hoist within the test room for a global manufacturer of vehicle child safety seats within the Hampshire area.
The photograph shows the proof load test using a load cell and ground anchor.
The new installation allows the test room operators to load and unload the crash test dummies, seats and seat frame on to the test rig.

Onsite Lifting Beam - Proof Load Testing
This 10 million pound project to re-build the Manor House at Ewhurst Park near Basingstoke required us to Proof Load Test the two front lifting beams that were to be used to install the front stone portico.
Also two lifting beams at the rear of the house were tested and examined which were to be used to lift the rear portico / terrace.
All the lifting beams were signed off as 'Safe' and the next stage of the building project will continue.
On Site Davit Testing on Workboat
The proof load testing of a davits, winch ropes and winches using our calibrated load cell to an accuracy of +/- 1% of the test load can be carried out onsite.
Shown here is the 'Algier Rose', an impressive workboat which has recently been re-fiitted and is back in action to undertake many of its varied roles within UK waters.

Smaller items of lifting gear include webbing slings, roundslings, shackles, lifting eyes, chain slings and wire rope slings all to the relevant legislative standards.
Norjon Engineers Ltd
Hampshire Lifting Gear have designed, installed and tested a Demag Crane System for a local engineering firm to unable them to safely load ackward to handle billets of material into their CNC maching centre.
The system allows a single operator to load and unload the maching centre in a completely safe manner, rather than the two operators it took before.
So why not give us a call, for a crane system to suit your lifting needs.
