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.
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.

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.
Lifting & load-bearing equipment
Controlled high-capacity testing for substantial lifting and load-bearing components where vertical loading is required.
Bespoke fabricated assemblies
Test setups can be developed around unusual geometry, connection details and non-standard interfaces.
Tension & compression
The facility provides a 3000Te tension working load and a separate 1500Te compression working load.
