Test Weight Hire for Renewable Energy Projects
The renewable energy sector is rapidly growing, with wind farms, solar installations and hydroelectric sites relying on heavy-duty lifting and load-bearing equipment. At LMT Hire Ltd, we provide test weight hire services tailored to the specific requirements of renewable energy projects, helping ensure safety, compliance and operational efficiency.
Why Renewable Energy Projects Require Test Weights
Wind turbines, solar panel lifting frames and hydroelectric infrastructure all require lifting operations during installation and maintenance. Proof load testing verifies that cranes, hoists, lifting beams and other equipment can handle their rated capacity without risk of failure. This is essential not only for LOLER compliance but also for minimising costly downtime in remote or hard-to-access locations.
Flexible Weight Combinations for On-Site Testing
Our extensive range of cast steel test weights (from 56lb hand weights to 7,400kg blocks) allows us to configure the perfect load for your specific project. For renewable sites, we often supply stackable weights to maximise efficiency during handling and storage. We can also provide test weight cradles, shackles and lifting slings to make setup safer and faster.
Nationwide Delivery to Remote Locations
Many renewable projects are located in rural or coastal areas. Our dedicated Transport Services ensure that test weights are delivered safely and on time, no matter how challenging the location. We work closely with site managers to coordinate delivery and minimise disruption to project schedules.
Certified & Traceable Equipment
All test weights are clearly marked with unique serial numbers and supplied with certification upon request. This traceability gives you confidence in your testing process and ensures all documentation is ready for audits or inspections.
Complete Support for Renewable Installations
Our test weight hire service integrates seamlessly with our Proof Load Testing and Lifting Equipment offerings. Whether you need short-term hire for a specific installation or ongoing support for maintenance projects, we provide a safe and reliable solution.
