Technical inspection record

Test Bench Inspection

Functional test-bench verification for selected lifting components, with preliminary identification, controlled setup, available value recording, and an outcome report.

01Test bench max pull 15 t02EN 818

Technical scope

Where it applies and what is checked

Applications

Identified, marked components compatible with the bench fixture setup
Functional checks before return to service or after maintenance
Targeted checks when behaviour under load must be documented
Campaigns requiring traceability of the value and outcome

Technical capabilities

Component preparation and safe fixture setup
Controlled application of load or force against the defined parameter
Observation of anomalies, play, evident deformation, or irregular behaviour
Filing of values, evidence, and operating notes in the inspection documentation

Industries served

Industrial lifting
Construction and maintenance
Workshops and technical departments
Logistics and materials handling

Verification method

Test bench

Test bench up to 15 t, with validated outcome

The test bench is useful when the component can be identified, safely fixtured, and checked against a defined parameter. It does not replace statutory inspections: it supports the inspection with recorded values and an outcome validated by an expert technician.

Test eligibility

Data to clarify before execution

Component identified and marked.
Rated capacity / WLL known and consistent with the requested test.
Geometry, clearances, and attachment points compatible with the bench fixture setup.
Test objective and technical reference defined before execution.
If any of these data points are missing, the test scope must be clarified before the intervention.

015 t

Test bench up to 15 t

Functional or load check within the available bench limit
Test parameter defined before execution
Fixture setup selected by geometry, attachment points, and test objective

Values and behaviour recorded

Component behaviour while load is applied
Recorded values, visible anomalies, play, or evident deformation
Instrumentation subject to calibration/internal verification according to available documentation

Outcome validated by an expert technician

Post-test check before the final summary
Values, evidence, and operating notes connected to the equipment
Outcome validation by a Control Service expert technician

When it is needed

When use, condition, or applicable rules call for a targeted inspection.

What is checked

Components, markings, condition, and function are checked with the applicable method.

What remains documented

Results, evidence, and follow-up stay connected to the equipment in Cruscotto™.

Phase	Activity	Method	Output
Identification	Review markings, serial number or internal code, rated capacity, and available documents	Visual / documentary	Component identified and linkable to the report
Compatibility	Assess dimensions, attachment points, clearances, and fixture feasibility on the bench	Technical / operational	Test feasibility confirmed or limit to clarify
Setup	Positioning, restraint, and safe fixture setup of the component on the test bench	Controlled fixture setup	Component ready for testing
Execution	Apply load or force against the agreed parameter, procedure, or applicable indication	Test bench	Values and behaviour observed
Post-test check	Check for visible anomalies, play, evident deformation, or conditions to report	Visual / functional	Technical observations recorded
Validated outcome	Result summary, operating notes, useful evidence, and expert technician validation	Cruscotto™ report	Documentation ready for technical review

Scope boundaries

When the inspection needs to be extended

The test bench applies only to identified components compatible with the available fixture, limit, and parameter. It does not replace statutory verifications required for specific equipment.
