Safety in cargo handling operations relies heavily on the structural integrity and performance of lifting appliances. At SBC Safety, we perform periodic load testing of all lifting equipment on vessels and offshore structures in full compliance with ILO Convention No. 152 and Class society rules.

Utilizing modern Water Bag technology instead of traditional solid weights, we safely test tons of load without risking damage to your vessel's deck or structure. Our expert engineers apply dynamic and static test scenarios appropriate for the crane's capacity, completing the certification process with minimal downtime.

Our Scope of Services We provide testing and certification services for all types of cranes across various capacities:

• Deck Cranes: SWL (Safe Working Load) and overload testing for cranes essential to cargo operations.
• Heavy Lift Cranes: Precision load testing for high-capacity cranes used in project cargo transport.
• Hose Handling Cranes: Functional testing of cranes critical for manifold operations on tankers.
• Provision Cranes: Periodic inspection of cranes used for the transfer of ship stores and provisions.
• Engine Room Cranes: Testing of overhead travelling cranes and monorails used in engine maintenance and repair.
• Portable & Mobile Cranes: Certification of portable lifting equipment used on deck.

All tests are digitally monitored and reported using calibrated load cells to ensure absolute accuracy.
