Learn about different types of shackles including anchor shackles, chain shackles, and bolt-type shackles. Discover how to choose the right shackle for lifting and rigging applications.

Overhead crane load testing is the process of applying a controlled load to a crane to verify its structural integrity, rated lifting capacity, and operational safety. This test ensures that the crane can safely handle its designed load under actual working conditions.

Overhead crane installation is the process of assembling, aligning, and commissioning a crane system on a runway structure. It ensures the crane operates safely, moves smoothly, and meets required engineering and safety standards.

Overhead crane inspection is a systematic process used to evaluate the safety, condition, and performance of a crane’s structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety components. A proper overhead crane inspection helps identify defects, prevent failures, and ensure compliance with standards such as OSHA and ISO 9927.
