Delta Rigging & Tools, one of the largest providers of lifting and rigging products and related services in the United States, is now offering load-testing services up to 3 million pounds to the oil and gas industry in Port of Fourchon, La., granting customers access to a test bed within 200 yards of the port bulkhead. The testing facility provides quick load-test options on a wide variety of products, including rope, rope slings, chains and other rigging/mooring hardware.
In addition to a logistically efficient location, the 3 million-pound test bed is completely computer controlled and monitored to improve the accuracy of the testing as well as reducing errors and maintaining safety. After the pull testing is complete, all result certifications are available online 24 hours a day.
All of Delta Rigging & Tools’ locations across the United States have the ability to satisfy local testing needs ranging from 20,000 to 700,000 pounds, both vertical and horizontal.
“At Delta Rigging & Tools, we are excited about the opportunity to provide our customers expanded proof-testing services and capabilities,” said Tom Hudgins, vice president of sales and marketing. “To date, most of Delta Rigging & Tools destructive and non-destructive testing has been focused on wire rope and lifting slings. With the addition of the 3 million-pound test bed, not only can we provide testing on larger capacity wire rope, synthetic rope and lifting slings, but we can also offer testing for large-capacity blocks, elevator links, risers and spreader beams.”
Pearland, Texas-based Delta Rigging & Tools is No. 77 on the RER 100.
