Rope Condition Assessment
Significant research and investment has gone into our equipment, which is why we proudly use superior quality magnetic rope testing devices. We are partnered with world leading German manufacturers and a global underground mining partner to develop a permanent monitoring solution with Advanced Data Analytics (AI).
Who conducts the rope condition assessment?
SAQCC RCA (SA Qualification and Certification Committee Rope Condition Assessment) Level 1 and 2 qualified rope inspectors.
Statutory Break Testing
It has been more than 60 years since the first destructive testing was undertaken.
Since then, we are continuously improving our testing equipment and the techniques used to secure the ends of the ropes during testing (commonly referred to as “capping”).
We have two test beds. All results are directly uploaded to your online portal.
Did you know?
We recently increased our steel wire rope testing capability from 2600kN to 3000kN.
Managing and Accessing Test Reports
This cloud-based platform will securely store and organise all your testing documentation. It will also provide engineers and other staff with seamless access to critical data anytime, anywhere and ensure compliance with minimal hassle.
