LOAD TESTING

GRT provides both static and operational load testing and certification for all types of cranes. Test loading is the most definitive method for determining the load capacity of any given system. Particular emphasis is placed on the performance of the dynamic conditions of the crane, checking the braking systems and mobility under working conditions. GRT certifies the weight of test loads with the use of hydraulic jacks and digital pressure gauges.
