Testing Services
Any new lifting equipment that goes into circulation must be tested prior to use and all equipment purchased from Ranger arrives on site colour-coded, tested and updated in your online register. With NATA accredited testing capacity we have the facilities and expertise to test a broad range of lifting and rigging equipment.
Our mobile testing services, including our new large testing trucks, ensures the majority of your lifting equipment can be tested on-site. Not only does this save time on transportation costs and downtime, but it also provides reassurance to your team who have peace of mind knowing all their equipment is still on-site.
