Equipment application
What the Talurit test bed is used for
A horizontal testing machine applies a controlled tensile load to specimens and assemblies when the selected fixture arrangement and the documentation for the specific unit permit this mode.
Wire rope slings
Checking sling specimens under an agreed testing programme and safe fixture arrangement.
Wire rope terminations
Assessing the quality of a swaged, spliced or other termination where required by the method.
Lifting and rigging accessories
Testing lifting gear after confirming that the specimen is compatible with the test bed grips.
Operating principle
How tensile testing is performed
The outline below describes the general operation of a horizontal test bed. The actual sequence, load limits and safety requirements are determined by the machine documentation and the approved testing programme.
1. Preparation
The specimen is identified, attachment points are checked and the test arrangement is selected.
2. Securing
The specimen is installed between the load-bearing elements and alignment of the applied force is checked.
3. Loading
The hydraulic system applies tensile force according to the agreed programme.
4. Result
The force and observations are recorded in the test documentation for the specific test.

Equipment construction
Horizontal load frame and hydraulic drive
The photographs show a long load frame, a testing zone and a separate hydraulic unit. The exact measurement channels, grips and safety equipment must be confirmed from the documentation for the specific test bed.
Load frame
The long horizontal structure provides a working zone for specimens of considerable length.
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic unit provides controlled application of tensile load.
Testing zone
The specimen is positioned along the test bed between the load points; the arrangement depends on the available tooling.
Measurement
The sensors, indication and result-recording system are confirmed from the documentation.

100 tonnes is the maximum testing force, not the lifting capacity of a crane or hoisting mechanism. Specifications of a current official Talurit series must not be assigned to the photographed test bed without confirmation of its identity.
Lifting equipment testing
Proof load and break testing
Horizontal test beds of this class may be used for proof load testing and, where the configuration permits, break testing. The specific mode is selected according to the programme, customer requirements and capabilities of the individual unit.
Proof-load
A proof load checks specimen behaviour without claiming failure, where this mode is included in the programme.
Break test
Break testing is permitted only when the suitability of the test bed, guarding and measurement system has been confirmed.
Rope terminations
The strength of terminations and connections is assessed with regard to the specimen design and securing method.
Documentation
Before work starts, the programme, acceptance criteria, reporting format and customer-supplied documents are agreed.
Industrial applications
Testing equipment for industrial organisations
The Talurit 100 Tonne Test Bed may be relevant to engineering teams, wire rope manufacturers, oil and gas companies, rigging contractors and organisations requiring documented lifting-gear verification. The application scenario and commercial status of the specific installation are discussed separately.
FAQ
Questions before discussing testing
What does 100 tonnes mean in the test bed name?
It is the nominal maximum testing force stated in the original description. It does not mean crane lifting capacity and does not describe a hoisting mechanism.
What specimens can be tested?
Wire ropes, slings, terminations and other compatible components. Suitability for a specific specimen is checked against its dimensions, grips and the programme.
Can the photographed unit be identified as DB 100T/25T?
No. Official specifications of current Talurit series cannot be transferred to the photographed installation without confirmation of the model and documentation.
Is the test bed suitable for break testing?
This mode is possible only with a confirmed configuration, safety measures, measurement system and approved programme.
What documents are needed for a quotation?
Useful information includes specimen photos and description, WLL, securing arrangement, required load, test location and reporting requirements.
Can the test bed be purchased or supplied?
The commercial status, configuration, price and delivery time for a specific installation are confirmed separately. This page does not represent a fictional offer or stock claim.
