When it comes to bespoke load testing in the UK, Lift-Rite stands in a league of its own. With decades of experience and a track record of engineering excellence, Lift-Rite has established itself as the go-to partner for the most complex load testing challenges across multiple industries—including shipbuilding, defence contractors and the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
Unlike other providers, Lift-Rite is the only company in the UK solely dedicated to this level of custom load testing. From design and fabrication to testing and certification, every step is handled in-house by a team of highly experienced professionals who thrive on delivering tailor-made solutions.
Engineering Confidence at Scale
Over the years, Lift-Rite has consistently raised the bar in heavy-load testing. The company has led on numerous high-profile tests, including successful load tests up to 270 tonnes, setting the standard for precision and safety in the sector.
In a recent test for an MOD subcontractor, critical components to be included in the next generation of British submarines were load tested independently, prior to installation on the boat.
Due to the nature of the components, space and tolerances were extremely fine, bespoke link plates and test frame were designed as there were no ‘off the shelf’ components available suitable for the loads involved.
This operation highlights Lift-Rite’s position as the only provider in the UK to offer bespoke load testing with the ability to take a client’s complex lifting requirement and deliver a fully engineered, tested, and certified solution from concept to execution.
