Who Has the Largest Vertical Testbed in the Rigging Industry?

When lifting equipment needs to be tested, inspected, and certified, capacity matters. For customers working with large, heavy, or complex lifting equipment, the size and strength of the test equipment can directly impact what can be tested, how efficiently it can be tested, and where that work can be completed.

Bishop Lifting recently added this new vertical testing capability at its Houston facility to better support demanding lifting applications with proof testing, inspection, certification, and technical support. For customers who depend on safe, documented, and reliable lifting equipment, this expansion provides another valuable resource from a team with deep rigging and lifting expertise.

With its combination of overall size, strength, and testing capability, Bishop Lifting’s new Houston vertical test bed is believed to be one of the largest and most capable vertical test beds in the rigging industry, and possibly one of the largest of its kind in North America.

Supporting Safety, Compliance, and Readiness

In lifting operations, equipment performance matters. Customers depend on properly inspected and tested equipment to help protect people, reduce risk, meet project requirements, and keep work moving safely.

Bishop Lifting’s testing and certification services help customers verify lifting equipment before it goes into service, returns to service, or is used in critical applications. Whether the need involves proof testing, inspection, recertification, repair verification, or technical support, Bishop Lifting provides the equipment, expertise, and documentation customers need to move forward with confidence.

This new Houston investment is another example of Bishop Lifting’s commitment to the tools and capabilities customers depend on for safe and successful lifting operations.
