How much weight do I need for a proof test?
The test load depends on the equipment and the relevant standard or manufacturer requirement. Your engineer or inspector will specify it, and our team will supply the weights to match.
Can test weights be combined with a flat rack?
Yes, weights are often loaded onto a flat rack to make up the test load. Ask our team about hiring both together.
How long can I hire it for?
Daily, weekly or long-term hire. Tell us your dates when you request a Quote and we will price the period that suits the job.
Does it come inspected and certified?
Yes. Every item is inspected and tagged by our team before it leaves the yard, and the current certificate goes with it.
Can you deliver to site?
We deliver nationwide from our branches in South Australia and the Northern Territory (Regency Park, Whyalla and Darwin), or you can collect from your nearest branch.
Not sure which size or type you need?
Send us the load, the lift and the site conditions. Our team will recommend the right equipment and include it in your Quote.
