3000Te Vertical Test Bed

High-capacity vertical testing for large lifting components, fabricated structures and bespoke engineered assemblies, with distinct working loads for tension and compression.

High-capacity capability

Configured around the component and the test method.

The 3000Te Vertical Test Bed is a modular high-capacity system that can be configured around the geometry and connection points of the item being tested. It supports controlled tensile and compression testing without treating the two loading modes as the same capacity.

Existing Durham Lifting applications include link plates, slings, chains, delta plates, sheaves, trunnions and other large engineered components. Where a standard connection is not suitable, bespoke holding tools and specialist fixtures can be designed around the test requirement.

Where the facility fits

For demanding vertical load-testing requirements.

The facility is suited to substantial components and assemblies where controlled vertical loading, engineered interfaces or a bespoke connection arrangement are required.

Large components

Lifting & load-bearing equipment

Controlled high-capacity testing for substantial lifting and load-bearing components where vertical loading is required.

Engineered arrangements

Bespoke fabricated assemblies

Test setups can be developed around unusual geometry, connection details and non-standard interfaces.

Two loading modes

Tension & compression

The facility provides a 3000Te tension working load and a separate 1500Te compression working load.
