Lloyds British Testing recently conducted a proof load test of a 500 tonne crane in the BOS Plant of Corus Port Talbot, following the installation of their new crab unit by NEI.
The full proof load shown is 625 tonnes and this was achieved by suspending a steel slab supplied by Corus on a two stage cradle (manufactured by our Newcastle branch) below a
specially adapted test weight originally supplied by Rumney Crane & Engineering.
Happily, the crane passed all running & proof load testing & is now in full production use.
