Mobile crane testing

Prepare a test programme around the mobile crane and its intended configuration.

THE SERVICE

Define the configuration before selecting the test load

A mobile crane’s capacity information relates to its configuration and operating conditions. We start with the machine and site details, then discuss the arrangement needed for the requested inspection and test.

A mobile crane’s working radius, boom configuration and supporting arrangement affect the scope of a test. Share the relevant crane documentation and site information so the test requirements can be considered together.

WHAT WE DO

A closer look at the work

The work is scoped around your equipment, site and required outcomes.

01

Machine identification and records

Provide the crane model, relevant capacity chart and the configuration intended for the work. Boom details, attachments and previous inspection or repair records help avoid ambiguity about the equipment being assessed.

Site and loading arrangement

Available working space, access and the supporting arrangement influence how test equipment is delivered and positioned. The responsible site team should identify the constraints that affect the proposed work area.

Inspection, testing and findings

The agreed work considers the relevant machine condition and test requirements together. The report relates to the configuration examined and should identify any limitations or further attention required.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Clear findings. A practical next step.

Recorded inspection and test findings for the identified crane and agreed configuration, supporting your equipment records and follow-up planning.

Tell us how your team uses its equipment records and which documents the project requires. We agree the reporting scope before the work starts.

HOW IT WORKS

From your enquiry to the outcome

  1. Telescopic mobile crane and its planned working arrangement
    01

    Confirm the machine setup

    Send the model, capacity chart, boom configuration and proposed test conditions. Include site access, working space and the supporting arrangement needed for the planned work.

  2. Crane loading arrangement using a cradle of solid test weights
    02

    Arrange the load and examination

    The test equipment and loading arrangement are prepared for the agreed configuration. Relevant examination and testing are coordinated with the responsible site team.

  3. Mobile crane configuration and inspection records reviewed at a site office
    03

    Review the configuration-specific record

    The resulting record relates to the machine and configuration examined. Review the findings and limitations before planning any follow-up work or changes to the arrangement.

TEST-LOAD SELECTION

Choose around the equipment and site

Water bags or solid weights may suit this crane, subject to the configuration and agreed method. Water bags travel empty and allow staged filling; solid weights avoid reliance on water supply and drainage.

BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE

Your questions, answered

Is the crane’s maximum capacity enough for a quote?

Please also include the model, capacity chart and proposed configuration. Working radius, boom arrangement and site conditions affect the assessment and test preparation.

What happens after I request a quote?

The team reviews your equipment and site information, clarifies any missing details and confirms the proposed scope, availability and pricing. Sending an enquiry does not book a test or confirm an appointment.
