Product catalog summary
Ladder Testing According to EN 131
The document outlines the importance of ladder testing for occupational safety, emphasizing the European standard EN 131. Revised in 2018, this standard classifies ladders into commercial (professional) and private (non-professional) categories, with specific requirements such as stand extensions for ladders over 3,000 mm. It mandates tests for spar strength, torsion, and base slip, along with continuous loading tests to ensure non-destructive testing.

Testing System by Hegewald & Peschke
Hegewald & Peschke offers a force-controlled testing system that aligns with EN 131 standards. The system uses pneumatic test cylinders with 'shoe sole-like' load pads, controlled via a CAN bus signal from a PC. This setup reduces compressed air consumption and allows for synchronized operation of multiple test axes. A central emergency stop device ensures safety by allowing simultaneous shutdown of all test axes.

Special Features
The test system features height-adjustable transverse profiles and a frame for mounting test cylinders. Manual cable winches facilitate height adjustments, with clamping levers ensuring secure positioning. The system's closed-loop control mechanism ensures reproducible test loads, and an optional displacement measuring system can be added for advanced ladder development, allowing for the recording of hysteresis curves and aging effects.

Occupational safety begins with the reliability of work equipment. Whether closing doors, limit switches or safety fences – if the technology fails, there will be danger to life. Climbing and access material, especially ladders, are also subject to testing standards in order to guarantee their quality and safety. Ladder testing according to EN 131 The European standard EN 131 is used for the testing of ladders. This standard was extensively revised and expanded to include part 1-3 in 2018, which place stricter requirements on the testing standard of ladders and classify ladders into the following...

Ladder test stand-3

Special features The frame of the test system consists of via cable height-adjustable transverse profiles and two side profiles which accommodate a cross profile for mounting the test cylinder for the upper stage of the test specimen. In addition, the test system is equipped with a second via cable height-adjustable transverse profile for mounting the test cylinder for the middle stage of the test specimen. The test cylinder can be adjusted both on the frame and on the transverse profile laterally along the transverse profile. In addition, the mounting brackets allow an exact angle adjustment...
