LOAD TESTING
LOAD TEST
The load test should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturers test procedures. It is strongly recommended that, an
authorised service dealer carry out the test.
Oxford/Hoyer Electric hoists have been designed to the requirements of:
1
BS EN ISO 10535 2006 Hoists for the transfer of disabled persons
The hoists are designed to lift the Safe Working Load only. The load lifting capability is set electronically and must not be
increased as this causes excessive loading when the actuator reaches the limits of travel. This will affect the actuator’s useful life.
2
BS EN ISO 10535 2006 Load Raising Test
This test is a straightforward lift of a load the equivalent to the Safe Working Load, from the lowest position to highest position of
the hoist. Check that the hoist is not capable of lifting much more than the SWL (a small additional lifting capability is allowable
but no more than 5% of the SWL).
