Horizontal Load Testing
Horizontal load testing is a critical process for evaluating the strength, stability, and load capacity of lifting products such as slings, shackles, and hooks. Testing is carried out according to international standards and involves applying a horizontal force using hydraulic or other equipment. During testing, strain gauges and other instruments measure the deflection, strain, and other parameters of the product. The results of the testing determine whether the product meets the required safety standards and load capacity. Products that pass the test are marked with relevant information, and manufacturers and users can have confidence in the performance of these products, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
