How Often Should I Get Aerial Testing?
Aerial devices require annual testing by a qualified technician to inspect systems and ensure safe operation. In addition, a five-year NDT is needed to detect structural issues like cracks or fatigue using advanced inspection methods.
What Problems Can Aerial Testing Find Before Equipment Is Put Into Service?
Aerial testing can identify hydraulic leaks, damaged cylinders, worn pins, structural concerns, control issues, and electrical problems that may affect safe operation. Testing helps verify that aerial equipment responds correctly under expected loads and can reveal developing issues before they cause downtime or failed inspections.
Why Is My Aerial Lift Drifting or Losing Position Under Load?
An aerial lift that drifts under load may have internal hydraulic leakage, worn cylinder seals, control valve problems, or pressure loss within the system. Aerial equipment testing can evaluate hydraulic performance and holding ability to determine why the platform or boom will not maintain its commanded position.
