We load it until it breaks — on purpose
The number stamped on a shackle or a lifting sling, 5 tonnes, 20 tonnes, 100 tonnes, is not where the equipment breaks. It's where we've decided to stop. The distance between those two figures is no guess. It's been measured, in a test bench, by someone pulling identical equipment apart on purpose. Here's why controlled failure is the very foundation of trusting a lift.
What's the cost of a lift that never happens?
The day rate for a winch and the price of a statutory inspection are easy numbers to compare. The cost of a lifting operation that stops is not. Yet it's the latter that decides whether your project lands on budget...or blows through it. Here's the calculation we believe more buyers should run before choosing a supplier.
Flexible rental of marine cranes – when uptime and rapid response make all the difference
The wrong lifting equipment at the wrong time costs far more than the rental fee. Kolos Lifting & Inspection helps you select the right crane for your operation – and ensures everything is in place well before the job begins.
