Our mission: ensure safety

With PMS 2600 EXPERTISE, we affirm our desire to provide a service dedicated to security through:

• A complete laboratory for testing any equipment on the market,
• An expertise office dedicated to lifting, lashing and personal protective equipment,
• A training center,
• A traceability and periodic audit of products service with a SCAN & CONTROL system.

A complete testing laboratory

Since we acquired 2 new testing benches with exceptional capacities: 2600 T horizontaly and 300 T verticaly, we now have one of the biggest testing capacity in Europe. We can now test our production up to the highest capacities in our laboratory with fatigue or static under proof load tests.

Thanks to our different kinds of benches, we are able to certify compliance with the requirements of the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE for any types of manufactured products, and to attest of their reliability.

Unique equipment:

Equipment with exceptional capacities

As part of the self-certification procedure applicable to lifting accessories, the use of tests (under proof load or breaking) is an essential step before a product is placed on the market in order to to certify its capacities and to justify its compliance with the applicable regulations.

The increase in our testing capacities, through the acquisition of additional equipment, now allows us to be independent in the qualification of the products that we are likely to offer you.

We own 3 types of benches:

Horizontal traction benches:

The product to be tested is held between the two axes of the bench, then subjected to traction or compression via the movement of the hydraulic cylinder.

Vertical traction benches:

The product to be tested is held between the two axes of the bench, then subjected to traction via the elevation of the hydraulic cylinder.

Hydraulic press:

It applies a force to the product to be tested by compressing it against its base.

Hydraulic horizontal traction benches

2600 T hydraulic traction and compression.

A bench with an exceptional capacity of 2600 T allows us to place ourselves among the very first European players, indeed less than 4 benches of this magnitude are operational in Europe.

Allows you to measure a product's tensile strength by applying balanced forces outward, or compression by applying balanced forces inward.

2600 T hydraulic cylinder, effective tests up to 2200 T.

New provisions implemented for this exceptional equipment:

Protection of the environment and people:

• Armored bulkhead in front of the pilot room.
• The bench is located in an isolated building. Access to it is blocked when a test is in progress.
• A protective cover is positioned on the bench.
• The customer can attend the test on his product in complete safety directly from the cockpit.

Bridge crane:

• Our double bridge crane allows the part to be tested to be perfectly positioned.

120 T hydraulic traction cylinder

Allows you to measure a product'stensile strengthby applying balanced forces outward.

Hydraulic compression press

Allows you to measure a product's compression strength by applying balanced forces inward.

Vertical traction benches

300 T hydraulic traction cylinder.

This new bench has an exceptional capacity for a vertical traction bench.

Allows you to measure a product's tensile strength by applying balanced forces outward.

New provisions implemented for this exceptional equipment:

Protection of the environment and people:

• Armored bulkhead in front of the pilot room.
• The bench is located in an isolated building. Access to it is blocked when a test is in progress.
• Protective grids are positioned around the bench structure.
• The customer can attend the test on his product in complete safety directly from the cockpit.

30 T hydraulic traction cylinder.

Allows you to measure a product's tensile strength by applying balanced forces outward.

A panel of diversified tests

We provide you with our test benches and technicians to carry out destructive tests or tests under proof load on your equipment in order to provide you with the necessary guarantees when marketing, distribution or use of your equipment.

Our benches are controlled and calibrated by the National Testing Laboratory to ensure compliance of data and tests performed.

Following each test we send you a report attesting to the results of the test performed.

On request, we can also use independent certification bodies.

You have proof and evidence of the quality and regulatory compliance of the equipment you use.

DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

BREAKING TEST*

Your product is subjected to tensioning until it breaks in order to study its behavior, its capacity as well as its safety coefficient.

Non-exhaustive examples of products that can be tested: roundslings and flat webbing slings, handling accessories, agricultural equipment, anchor points for oil platforms, aeronautical equipment...

TESTING UNDER STATIC PROOF LOAD*

Your accessory or device is kept under a constant proof load for a given period to study its aptitude and its resistance.

Non-exhaustive examples of products that can be tested: chains for floodgates and dams, boat anchors, roller skates, lifting beam, turbines ...

FATIGUE TEST*

Your equipment undergoes charging and discharging cycles between a high and low plateau value, for a specified duration or number of cycles, in order to study its resistance.

Non-exhaustive examples of products that can be tested: hoists, lashing systems, lifting equipment, transmission equipment…

*validated or not by a certification body

An expertise service

Dedicated to lifting, lashing and personal protective equipment.

In the event of a damage, our experts may be commissioned by insurance companies or directly by the affected parties in order to ascertain the seriousness and determine the parties' liability.

The expert's mission

The expert's mission is to find and explain the causes of a malfunction and / or damage to a product.

With all our solutions for traceability, quality control, testing of our products, our feedback. In 35 years of existence: from 1985 to May 2021, our responsibility has never been withheld.

A responsive and competent team

Each situation is studied with the greatest care to provide a rapid and complete response.

A complete expert report

Following each expertise mission, we send you a report with our expert’s results of observation. This transcript contains photos as well as any type of information and document relating to the situation studied.

Our teams are available and at your service for any additional information you may need or any requests for project studies.
