Load Test Beams

Dix Corporation has designed and built a set of load test beams that can be used to load test new or rebuilt cranes up to 638 tons. Typically, they are used in conjunction with water weight bags as shown in the photo. The load test beams can be adapted to use other weights. The crane being tested in the photograph handles 450 metric tons (500 US tons) from a single hook. We can change the configuration and test off of two hooks by using the two outside beams. These beams have been used at various locations in the United States and Canada with great success.
