Sometimes a visual check is not enough. For complex repairs, overhauls, and heavy testing, Mennens has specialized workshops and unique test facilities.
Assurance of safety, maximum uptime, and full compliance with EKH standards—that’s our standard. Whether it’s testing heavy steel wire ropes for offshore use or overhauling hydraulic tools, we ensure your equipment remains safe and operational.
“Safe working depends on equipment that meets current standards. Our Test & Repair department ensures the safety of steel wire ropes, lifting equipment, fall protection, and hydraulics.”
As a Mechanical Engineer or Safety Coordinator, you know that downtime costs money and accidents are unacceptable. Test & Repair at Mennens is more than just ticking a box; it is a technical process of load testing and NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) to guarantee the integrity of your equipment.
Want to reduce downtime and prevent workplace accidents? Our experts are ready to support you.
Mennens has unique facilities in the Benelux. We don’t just test for functionality—we push materials to their limits to uncover hidden defects.
Our EKH-certified technicians are qualified to work on a wide range of equipment used in industry, offshore, construction, and logistics:
| Lifting equipment | chain slings, shackles, clamps (both below and above the hook) |
| Steel wire rope | for cranes, elevators, and heavy offshore applications |
| Hydraulics | high-pressure tools such as jacks and pumps |
| Falling protection |
inspection and repair of harnesses, fall arrest blocks, and rescue kits |
Don’t take risks with the safety of your people and equipment. Is your equipment defect or are you unsure about its strength?
According to EKH guidelines, load testing is often carried out after major repairs, when commissioning new lifting installations, or at fixed intervals (for example, every 4 years for cranes).
Not always. For smaller items (such as standard lifting slings), replacement is often more cost-effective. However, for heavy chain assemblies, hoists, or specialized equipment, overhaul is often a fraction of the cost of new. We provide honest advice on this during the quotation phase.
Thanks to our five locations and large stock of parts, we aim for minimal turnaround times. For standard inspections, your equipment is often returned within a few working days. Urgent request? Let us know during intake.
Yes. Each approved item receives an inspection sticker and an official certificate (including a test graph for tensile tests). This is available 24/7 through our online portal.
