Testing Facilities at Kolos

At Kolos, quality, documentation, and safety form the foundation of everything we deliver. Our modern testing facilities enable us to carry out thorough and reliable testing of lifting equipment, components, and customer‑tailored products—from the development phase all the way to the final certified solution.

The testing facilities are designed to provide full transparency, high technical precision, and flexibility in meeting both standardized requirements and specific customer needs.

Load Test Benches

Kolos has advanced load test benches designed for both light and heavy lifting applications. Here, we perform both static and dynamic testing with high accuracy in measurement and documentation.

• Static and dynamic load testing
• Precise measurement systems for load, deformation, and safety margins
• Suitable for prototypes, serial production, and customer‑specific solutions
• Certification according to applicable standards

 Hydraulic Test Setups

Our hydraulic test stations make it possible to simulate real operating conditions to identify functionality, tightness, and overall robustness.

• Testing of cylinders, valves, and hydraulic systems
• Pressure and functional testing under controlled conditions
• Complete documentation of pressure data and performance

Mechanical Function Testing

To ensure that mechanical components perform as expected, we offer both manual and automated function tests.

• Verification of movements, tolerances, and mechanical robustness
• Test sequences tailored to the component’s intended application
• Identification of wear and potential weaknesses

Customized Test Configurations
We understand that not all products fit into a standard testing procedure. That’s why we offer flexible and customer‑tailored test setups.

• Adapted to the product’s geometry, function, and area of use
• Configured in collaboration with Kolos engineers
• Suitable for both R&D work and specialized deliveries

Documentation and Traceability
Kolos places great emphasis on quality and traceability. All tests, ranging from simple function tests to full load certification, are documented with:

• Measurement data
• Images and/or video
• Test protocols
• Certificates
• Full traceability from component to finished product

Customers may also participate in the testing process, either on‑site or digitally, if desired.

Why Our Testing Facilities Make a Difference
Our testing facilities are a central part of Kolos’ identity and the way we work. They enable us to:

• Ensure quality and safety in every delivery
• Identify weaknesses early in the process
• Improve products before they enter operational use
• Offer full transparency and documentation to our customers

This results in a high level of safety and a final product that meets or exceeds industry requirements.
