Our team of highly trained ground ladder testing specialists works closely with manufacturers to develop a thorough understanding of ladder construction, functionality, and operational qualities.

We provide detailed evaluations for all ladder types and brands, assuring reliable performance and safety for every application. Let our experienced team deliver professional Pennsylvania ground ladder testing you can depend on.
Ground ladders rated for fire departments in Pennsylvania are tested in line with NFPA 1932 guidelines to ensure they meet critical safety and performance standards. We inspect and test each ladder type extensively, identifying any potential issues before they can compromise reliability. Our Pennsylvania ground ladder testing process offers comprehensive evaluations, allowing fire departments to trust that their equipment will perform effectively under demanding conditions.
The first phase of our Pennsylvania ground ladder testing service is a detailed visual inspection of each ladder to identify numerous potential physical issues. This includes checking for rust, corrosion, cracks, bad welds, loose bolts on guides, and poor lubrication. We also look for missing components or any other visible defects that could affect the ladder's structural integrity or functionality.
We subject each folding, roof, extension, and combination ladder to an extended weight test. We test each ladder with the required weight and time to make sure that the ground ladder performs as per the manufacturer's specifications.
As part of our Pennsylvania ground ladder testing service, we test the roof hooks for sturdiness, operability, and pressure. Roof hooks are also checked for ease of clearance and opening. Each set of roof hooks is tested under 1,000 pounds of pressure to ensure that the hooks remain stable and do not bend when subjected to extended pressure.
For extension ladders, we inspect and test the pawl locks on each section as part of our Pennsylvania ground ladder testing service. Each pawl lock is visually inspected. The locking mechanism is tested to make sure it moves freely and engages the rungs, and that the release mechanism is functional. Each set of pawl locks is tested under 1,000 pounds of pressure to ensure that they remain stable and do not bend when subjected to prolonged stress.
