The process of manufacturing and production of lifting equipment doesn’t end just at the creation stage. It must be tested and certified before it is released for use so as to prevent hazards and accidents. Lifting equipment ranges from cranes, forklifts, goods lifts, elevators, forklift trucks, lifting beams, etc. These are heavy machinery and can be very dangerous if the extreme limits are not known and tested before sending it off for usage by workers. Untested products could mean life-threatening damage and serious calamities. That is why there are companies to test such instruments, at the customer’s request. Dutest carries different tests which are important for safe use of lifting equipment.
- Eddy Current Testing-This testing is done to observe flaws without removing the surface preparation. It is useful as there is no requirement of altering the equipment to detect for flaws.
- Dye Penetrant Testing-It is used to detect flaws on the surface using ink and a developer. Usually used on non-ferrous products and gear teeth.
- Magnetic Particle Testing-This is a test for detecting flaws without doing major damage to the product. Only the surface preparation needs to be removed for inspection.
- Welding Inspection-This is a complex procedure involving the testing of a weld, a combination of two or more metals. The weld has to be tested by trained and skilled engineers in this test.
- Thickness Gauging-Without affecting the surface preparation, thickness gauging is used to know the corrosive defects of the equipment. This is a useful method of knowing the interior of equipment without having to cut through it.
- Load Testing-This is a simple test which tests the load of cranes by giving it the maximum weight it can carry. It tests the capacity of the equipment.
