Silver Raven delivers specialised mechanical testing services for high-risk industrial sectors across Australia. From load testing of lifting equipment to advanced bending moment and strain testing, our experts help ensure safety, compliance, and mechanical integrity in critical operations. We serve clients in Mining, Marine, Oil & Gas, Defence, Construction, Rail, and Heavy Manufacturing, with tailored solutions designed for real-world field conditions.

Our Mechanical Testing Services

Load Testing (Proof Load & Functional Testing): Verifying that rigging, hoists, chains, shackles, lifting beams, and structural elements can withstand specified operational loads without failure.
Pull Testing (Tensile Testing): Measuring material and equipment strength under axial tension to assess yield point, tensile strength, and elongation.
Compression Testing: Assessing structural integrity and deformation characteristics of components under compressive forces – ideal for columns, concrete pads, and supports.
Shear Testing: Determining how materials and fasteners respond to transverse forces, ensuring compliance with shear strength standards.
Strain Testing (Deformation & Elongation Measurement): Using strain gauges and displacement sensors to quantify elastic/plastic behaviour under stress.
Bending Moment Testing (Flexural Testing): Evaluating component strength and flexibility under lateral loading to simulate real-world conditions, such as beam deflection and structural support deformation.
