Industrial test weights provide a known mass for checking weighing equipment, verifying measurements and carrying out controlled load testing. They are used in manufacturing, engineering, equipment inspection and maintenance. Lifting365 Ireland supplies calibrated hand test weights, slab test weights and specialist handling accessories for industrial testing applications.

Test weights for calibration must be selected according to the required mass, accuracy, tolerance and traceability requirements of the equipment being checked. Our range includes GT Calibrated Hand Test Weights and GT Calibrated Slab Test Weights. Before purchasing, confirm that the product's calibration documentation and specifications meet the requirements of your application.

Calibrated test weights may be used for lifting equipment load testing where their mass, design and handling arrangements are suitable for the specified procedure. The test must account for the required load, lifting configuration, equipment capacity and applicable safety requirements. Calibration alone does not establish that a weight is suitable for lifting or suspension, so its intended use and handling provisions must be verified.

20kg calibrated hand test weights are used in industrial testing and equipment verification where a known mass is required. Individual weights can be combined to achieve a specified total test load, provided the testing method permits this. Lifting365 Ireland supplies the GT Calibrated Hand Test Weight – 20kg, alongside dedicated stillages and handling equipment for compatible weights.

Hand test weights and slab test weights differ primarily in their physical design and handling arrangements. Hand weights are individual units intended for suitable manual or assisted handling, while slab weights offer an alternative format for industrial testing. The appropriate choice depends on the required mass, available space, handling method and manufacturer's specifications.

Industrial test weights should be stored securely and handled using methods suitable for their mass, dimensions and design. Lifting365 Ireland supplies a GT Stillage for Hand Test Weights and a GT Trolley for Hand Test Weight Stillage to support the storage and movement of compatible weights. Check the rated capacities and compatibility of the handling equipment, and protect calibrated weights from damage that could affect their accuracy.
