After mechanical installation, electrical connections and safety functions are complete, no-load motions, directions, limits, brake behaviour and control functions are checked. The following test scope is defined by the project and applicable requirements.

• Mechanical installation
• Electrical and controls
• No-load functions
• Brakes and limits

What does a load-test plan need?

Test load, method, site safety plan, measurement method and records should be prepared for the equipment class and applicable requirements. A defined controlled test replaces improvised loading.
