TEST
In accordance with TB 43-0142, the crane must be load tested and functionally tested annually. TB 43-0142 contains the full
procedure for both the load testing, the annual testing, and for proper documentation of the testing.
In addition to this required annual testing, crane testing is required under the following circumstances:
1.
Prior to initial use, all new, extensively repaired, or altered lifting devices shall be given a rated load test. Manufacturers
and repair activities should perform this test and provide written certification of load testing to the using activity. If load
test certification is not obtained or available, using activities shall arrange for testing through General Support (GS) or
Direct Support (DS) maintenance activities. Manufacturer's certification or other records of rated load testing shall be
maintained by the using activity.
2.
Prior to initial use, all new, extensively repaired, or altered lifting devices shall be given a functional test to determine
operability of the equipment. Functional testing requirements are indicated in the applicable appendix of TB 43-0142.
Before performing the functional test, the proper operation of brakes and limit, locking, and other safety devices shall be
tested under no-load conditions.
3.
Lifting devices that have been idle for one year or more shall be functionally tested at 100% of the rated load prior to use.
