Comprehensive Product Load Testing for Industrial Applications Across the UK and Europe
At STS Group, we specialise in product load testing to ensure your industrial products meet safety, reliability, and performance standards. Our services cater to diverse industries, providing tailored solutions for testing load capacity, durability, and structural integrity.
With a focus on industrial product testing, we use advanced equipment and techniques to simulate real-world conditions, allowing us to assess how your products perform under stress. From individual components like brackets and hinges to large-scale items such as scaffolding and shelving units, our expertise ensures accurate and actionable results.
Our product capacity testing services help determine safe working limits and verify compliance with British, European, and international standards. Whether you need testing for one-off prototypes or ongoing production quality assurance, we deliver precise measurements using state-of-the-art facilities, including load frames capable of handling up to 300te.
Serving clients across the UK and Europe, we pride ourselves on delivering reliable testing services that help businesses minimize risks, improve product quality, and meet regulatory requirements.
Introduction to Load Testing
Load Testing is the process of putting demand on a system or device and measuring its response. It is performed to determine a system's behaviour under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions. Values such as Safe Working Load (SWL) and maximum load capacities can be determined through such testing.
Comprehensive Load Testing Services
STS-UK carries out a wide range of load testing, from hinges and bolts up to full-scale testing on handrails, canopies, and bridges. A variety of tests we provide includes:
- Balustrades, Barriers, and Handrails
- Glass and Acrylic Panels
- Tensile and Compressive Testing
- Scaffold and Access Equipment
- Wooden Pallets (A-Frame)
- Composite Materials
- Steel Props and Supports
- Temporary Edge Protection
- Brackets, Hinges, and Other Supports
- Shelving Units
- One-Off Design and Builds
- Racking Testing
- Pendulum Testing (PAS13)
- Design Testing on New Market Products
