Aerial Personnel Devices Testing
WINS offers the following inspections for aerial lifting devices:

WINS load testing procedure for acoustic emission testing of aerial personnel devices follow ASTM standards F914 and F1430. The devices are subjected to two cycles of loading at loads two times their rated capacity while being monitored for acoustic emission activity, which can be an indication of fatigue.

WINS employ their very own acoustic emission data acquisition hardware and analysis software for the testing of aerial personnel devices. The number of hits, amplitude and the counts are registered and plotted against the applied loads and load intervals. ASTM standards are utilized to interpret the results.
