Importance of Overhead Crane Load Testing
Regular load testing is crucial for verifying the structural integrity, safety, and reliability of overhead cranes. It helps identify potential defects and ensures compliance with national and international safety regulations.
Key Overhead Crane Load Testing Procedures
-
Inspection Before Testing
-
Examine the crane structure, hoists, wire ropes, and braking system.
-
Ensure all components meet visual inspection standards.
-
-
Preparing the Test Load
-
Use a calibrated test weight, typically 125% of the crane’s rated load capacity.
-
-
Operational Testing
-
Conduct controlled lifting, lowering, and traveling operations under the test load.
-
Verify braking performance, speed control, and mechanical integrity.
-
-
Structural Testing
-
Assess the crane’s ability to hold the test load without excessive deflection or deformation.
-
-
Post-Test Inspection
-
Re-inspect all critical parts for any signs of wear, distortion, or failure.
