TESTING

Proof Test Services available at all Bishop Lifting branches

At Bishop Lifting, slings, wire rope, rigging hardware, mooring lines, oilfield equipment, and structural components are all proof tested or load tested to validate the overall integrity of the item.  This integrity is based on the material of the item, as well as the splices, welds, epoxy, stitching, or swaging used for terminations.  These items are load tested to a predetermined percentage above the rated capacity recommended by the manufacturer, ASME B30.9 Slings standard, API standards, or customer specific policies.  The proof test serves as a pass or fail certificate at the time of test.
