Quality & certification
We prove lifting gear by testing it. Every sling and assembly we make is proof-loaded on our own machines and certified on its serial number, and every component is traceable to its own certificate.
- Proof-load test bed up to 1,200 T
- Class-witnessed: IRS · ABS · LRS · BV
- Certificates in our own name
From material to certificate
How we control quality
Five checks between the mill and your site.
Certified material
Wire rope arrives with the mill certificate; components with the maker's certificate.
Traceable components
Every component in an assembly is traceable to its own certificate.
Made in-house
Slings are terminated in our works — swaged, spliced, socketed or sewn.
Proof-loaded
Each assembly is loaded to the multiple its standard requires, on machines from 1 to 1,200 T.
Certified
A certificate in our own name on the serial number, class-witnessed where the job needs it.
Specimen
