Beyond load testing, Company MECO undertakes special projects for clients. In order to meet these demands, we lean on a solid experience as well as an international network of experts who are able to offer ad hoc solutions. Innovative solutions are not exclusively developed for the lifting equipment sector, but also for supporting structures and the weighing of heavy modules.

Here are some examples:

— We set up compression load cells under a rotating bridge, in order to establish its mass. The operation was completed overnight (Cherbourg).
— We supplied a load supporting frame with a capacity of 800 tonnes, as well as the lifting accessories needed for the testing of two overhead cranes with a capacity of 230 tonnes and a lifting beam with a capacity of 440 tonnes, tested under a load of 550 tonnes (Tunisia). The entire load testing procedure was completed at the customer’s request, plus an additional verification of the consistency between the tests recommended by the equipment manufacturer, and applying Tunisian and French regulations.
— We measured the hauling capacity of the IFREMER research vessel Pourquoi Pas?, using a load cell that was set up between the stern of the vessel and a bollard from the dock.
— We supplied and set up compression load cells for the emergency weighing of acoustic enclosures in Thailand, before they were shipped to an offshore natural gas platform (North Sea).
