Load Testing Services Singapore

We provide compression load cell testing, spreader beam testing, load cell link testing and full equipment load testing, with capacities ranging up to 4,000 tons. Our services cover cranes, hoists, pad eyes, spreader beams, slings and all types of lifting devices used in industrial and offshore projects across Singapore.

Under Singapore's Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Act, all lifting equipment must be tested and examined by an Approved Examiner before first use and at regular intervals thereafter. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) requires lifting equipment such as cranes, hoists, chain blocks and spreader beams to be load tested to a minimum of 125% of their Safe Working Load (SWL). Yew Choon provides MOM-compliant load testing services in Singapore for all types of lifting equipment.

Lifting devices in Singapore must comply with the WSH (Operation of Cranes) Regulations. Key requirements include load testing before first use, after any major repair or modification, and periodically as determined by an Approved Examiner. The test load is typically 125% of the Safe Working Load. Our team provides certified load testing of all lifting devices including cranes, hoists, slings, shackles and custom lifting spreader beams.

Our crane load testing services in Singapore cover mobile cranes, crawler cranes, overhead cranes, gantry cranes, lorry cranes and marine cranes. Each crane type has specific test requirements based on its configuration and Safe Working Load rating.

Overhead cranes in Singapore are subject to the same MOM regulations as other lifting equipment. They must be load tested to 125% of their SWL before commissioning and at intervals specified by an Approved Examiner — typically every 12 months for regularly used equipment. Our team provides overhead crane load testing with full documentation and certification.

A lifting pad eye load test verifies that a pad eye — a steel plate welded to a structure with a hole for attaching a shackle or sling — can safely handle its intended load. Pad eyes must be proof load tested before use in lifting operations. Yew Choon provides pad eye load testing as part of our comprehensive lifting equipment load testing services in Singapore.

Our computerised load testing system determines weight and centre of gravity with an accuracy of 0.5%, using calibrated compression load cells traceable to national measurement standards. This level of accuracy is essential for critical lift planning and regulatory compliance.

A load test certificate documents the equipment tested, the test load applied, the date and location of the test, the name of the Approved Examiner, and confirmation that the equipment passed the test. Yew Choon provides full documentation upon completion of every load testing engagement in Singapore.

Load testing verifies that lifting equipment, spreader beams and rigging can safely handle the intended load before it is used in an actual lift, reducing the risk of equipment failure and ensuring compliance with Singapore safety regulations.
