Performance :
The SS11 lever hoist has undergone a full test program that includes:

Type Testing
- Ultimate strength test, at least 4 times the Working load limit (WLL)
- Chain end anchorage test, passing at least 4 times the WLL without any restriction of the brake or gears

Test on every hoist
- Proof loading at 1.5 times the rated capacity
- Light load testing at maximum of 2% rated capacity

Salt Spray - Submersion Test Programme :
The SS11 range of hoists has successfully been type tested to over 700 hours continuous exposure to an industry generated test programme that wasspecifically drawn up and agreed upon by a group of independent professionals incorporating ASTM B117 environmental conditions.
This programme included over 50 individual load tests on the same hoist of varying weights at various timescales, to fully challenge the SS11.
