Engineered Rigging enhances hydraulic equipment maintenance with dynamic testing

Upon passing the dynamic testing process, Engineered Rigging issues a Safety & Performance Tested Certificate, which can be added to the equipment owner’s maintenance records.

Engineered Rigging has enhanced its Equipment Service Center in Arkansas, USA, with the introduction of dynamic testing and certification for high-pressure hydraulic equipment. This service offers equipment owners a proactive way to ensure safety, optimize performance and extend the lifespan of critical hydraulic components, such as cylinders and pumps.

Engineered Rigging’s technicians employ cutting-edge Holmatro testing technology to detect potential issues that static testing often misses, the company said.

Dynamic testing simulates real-world maximum load conditions—105 percent of a cylinder’s capacity—allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of hydraulic systems. Unlike static testing, which only pressurizes equipment at set intervals, dynamic testing examines the full stroke of a hydraulic cylinder, identifying hidden weaknesses such as internal scratches or damage that can lead to failure.

“Dynamic testing is a game-changer for preventive maintenance,” said Mike Beres, vice president of Engineered Rigging. “It optimizes equipment safety and performance while extending its life.”
