Gravitec maintains an ANSI- and CSA-compliant drop test tower. This tower features two platforms and a hydraulic pull for fall protection equipment testing.
As regulation of fall protection equipment develops, testing has become an increasingly important aspect of manufacture and use. On occasion, manufacturers of fall protection equipment or our litigation clients ask us to perform engineering tests on individual pieces of equipment. Gravitec can provide both static testing and dynamic testing services, including documentation of maximum arrest force and photographic and video evidence of test results.
We can provide the following testing services at the Gravitec Training Institute, our specially engineered testing and training facility:
- Harness Testing
- Lanyard Testing
- Fall Protection Anchor Analysis and Testing
- Roof Anchor Testing
- Tie-Off Anchor Testing
- Window Washing Anchor Testing
- Window Washing Davit Testing
- Fall Protection Third Party Testing
- Fall Protection Legal Testing
To help us keep abreast of the latest technical developments, Gravitec engineers and executives participate in committees of the American National Standards Institute, the International Safety Institute, and the Canadian Standards Association.
Gravitec also has the ability to field test any system. We are routinely called upon to perform certification testing of existing fall arrest systems and fall arrest anchors.
