We test and assess all safety relevant mechanical components on which people’s lives depend, such as:

• Hoisting ropes and counterbalancing ropes
• Guide ropes and platform ropes
• Head gear and sinking head gear
• Hoisting cages and skips
• Suspension gear
• Headwheels and drive wheels
• Wheel and pulley shafts
• Brake rigging

In our work we use high performance, non-destructive testing techniques.

An important in-house development for testing wire ropes for broken strands, corrosion and wear is our magneto inductive wire rope testing technique, an effective combination of measuring the flux leakage and cross-section. By carrying out in our testing facilities destructive testing on new and discarded wire ropes we consolidate and update our wire rope know-how.
