The Smart Choice: Why Testing and Repairing Rigging Equipment Pays Off

When it comes to rigging equipment, safety, reliability, and performance are non-negotiable. But replacing gear every time it shows signs of wear isn’t always the most practical—or cost-effective—solution. That’s where testing and repairing comes in.

At CERTEX, we specialize in helping our customers extend the life of their rigging equipment through a proven 5-step repair and testing process. The result? A fast, affordable alternative to replacement that keeps your operations moving without compromising on safety.

 

The Case for Repairing Rigging Equipment

 

1. • Significant Cost Savings
     Why buy new when your existing equipment still has life left in it? Repairing can save you a substantial amount of money, especially on high-ticket items like chain slings, hoists, and lifting devices. Our repair services allow you to maximize your investment while staying compliant and safe.
   • Less Downtime, More Productivity
     We know time is money. That’s why our repair process is designed to be quick and efficient, helping you avoid extended delays while waiting on new gear to arrive.
   • Safety First
     Worn or damaged equipment can pose serious safety risks on the job. Our testing and inspection services help identify potential issues before they become problems. Once repaired, each item is thoroughly tested to meet ALL industry standards and ensure peak performance.
   •  Sustainability Matters
     Extending the lifespan of your rigging equipment also supports your company’s sustainability goals. Fewer replacements mean less waste and a reduced environmental footprint.
