OSC® TEST WEIGHT SETS

WEIGHTS FOR LIFTING TESTS FOR ALL MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT
DYNAMIC OR STATIC TESTS

 

Patented system fulfilling the requirements of the order dated 10/03/2004 relative to checks of appliances and accessories for lifting.

Compliant with the European standard relative to lifting machinery EN-1726-1.

 

Our patented system of "adjustable weights" enables the quick and accurate performance of static and dynamic proving tests:

  • For the commissioning of new equipment.
  • For a general periodic inspection at least every 12 months for overhead cranes, cranes, hoists and winches and every 6 months for fork-lift trucks, cradles, etc.

CF: Order dated 1 March 2004 relative to inspections of appliances and accessories for lifting.

 

Our patented test weight sets, manufactured by the OXYMETAL Group and marketed under the OSC® brand, enable the safe control of all appliances for lifting and material handling: forklift trucks, cranes, overhead cranes, cradles, elevating tables, load lifts, lorry tail lifts, etc.

These patented OSC® test weight sets are based on the stacking of adjustable and interlocking weights which can be handled by the forks of a fork-lift truck or a material-handling adapter fitted on the hook of an overhead crane, hoist, crane, etc.
A space is provided between each plate to pass the forks of a fork-lift truck.
A central shaft, called the "safety adapter", attaches all of the weights together to form a compact and consistent whole, to avoid any risk in case of operator error.
At the top of the adapter, a ring is provided to enable handling with the hook of a hoist, an overhead crane or a crane.
Each weight is of a different colour according to its weight (colour code), which enables very quick selection to assemble the batches adapted to each type of test. 

 

The OSC® patented test weight sets combine SIMPLICITY – SAFETY – SPEED OF IMPLEMENTATION  

 

SIMPLICITY

The operator selects the weights that he/she needs for each batch of tests

Selection is made easier by the different colours of each weight and by the weights indicated on them

Selection is made easier by a correspondence table showing the colour code and weight, enabling quick assembly

Dimensions = 1.2m x 1.2m

 

SAFETY

Compliant with European safety standards relative to lifting machinery EN-1726-1

The fact that the feet are embedded between themselves blocks them laterally and longitudinally

A locking system blocks the whole assembly 

 

ECONOMY

Tests duration is reduced significantly

It is possible to change the weight, while leaving the ballast set suspended on a lifting hook. 

Very substantial savings in labour costs

 

PRECISION

The guarantee of precision is +/-2% for all the weights

LASER CUTTING


At the forefront of technological advances, since the early 90s the OXYMETAL Group has focused its development on laser cutting, combining power, precision and productivity.

OSC® TEST WEIGHTS AND CACES


The OXYMETAL Group offers a complete range of test weights and CACES® weights, marketed under the OSC® brand.

Our test weights enable you to carry out all the mandatory periodic checks on lifting and handling equipment required by the VGP (Vérifications Générales Périodiques) regulations. 

Our CACES® weights are suitable for training and passing the various CACES® tests, and comply with INRS recommendations R482 and R489.
