VGP and load testing expertise: much more than control weights
Choosing control weights isn’t just about deciding on a weight. What type of test do you need to carry out? What load do you need to build? How will you handle it? How do you secure the stack? How can you limit handling and adapt the solution to the constraints of your site?
For decades, OSC has been designing and manufacturing solutions for load testing lifting and handling equipment. Control weights, lifting and handling rods, baskets, load test platforms and specific equipment: our expertise allows us to advise you on defining the right solution for your inspections.
Our approach is built on four principles
Understand the regulations, control the test load, make handling safe and make operators’ work easier.
Understanding VGP inspections
Commissioning, VGP periodic inspections, return to service: understanding these stages helps you better anticipate the tests, loads and resources required.
Static and dynamic tests
Load to apply, duration, movements, checks for deformation or triggering of safety devices: identify the test to be carried out so you can prepare the right load.
Securing loads
Interlocking stacking, stack locking, a through-going lifting rod, adding or removing weights on a suspended load: several patented systems.
Ergonomics and MSD prevention
Reduce manual carrying, make handling easier and improve test ergonomics with lightweight adjustment weights and Flex Load.
Preparing a VGP inspection
Identify the equipment, determine the test, prepare the load, check access and the people and equipment needed.
Choosing your control weights
Capacity, test load, precision, space, handling: at OSC, we start from how you use it, not from the catalog.
Support and services
Long-term advice, technical documentation, original spare parts, training and custom solutions.
Choosing the right solution
Equipment capacity, test load, available space, height under the hook, access, handling equipment, inspection frequency: every environment is different. Our teams analyze your constraints to point you to the right range, composition and accessories.
