Test Weight Hire for the Events & Entertainment Industry
When it comes to the events and entertainment industry, safety and precision are just as important as creativity. From temporary stage structures to lighting rigs and large outdoor installations, reliable proof load testing is essential to ensure that equipment can safely withstand its intended use. At LMT Hire Ltd, we support production companies, event organisers and staging specialists with test weight hire services designed for the unique challenges of live events.
Why Test Weights Are Essential for Events
Concerts, exhibitions, theatre shows and festivals often rely on complex lifting and rigging systems. Stage trusses, suspended lighting, sound equipment and even temporary grandstands need to be tested before the public can be admitted. Proof load testing with properly calibrated weights ensures that all structures are safe, compliant and able to withstand the stresses of live use. Using test weights also gives peace of mind to event organisers, as any faults or weaknesses can be identified and resolved during setup, well before showtime.
Flexible Hire for Short-Term Projects
The events sector often works on tight deadlines, with build-up and breakdown happening in just a matter of days. That’s why we offer flexible hire options, whether you need weights for a single proof test or for multiple venues across a tour. Our dedicated team makes the process straightforward, supplying equipment that is ready to use and fully certified for on-site inspections.
We also provide nationwide delivery and collection via our fleet of vehicles, ensuring your test weights arrive on time and are collected promptly once your event has concluded.
