What sort of racking system? Are you talking about rails in a chiller or some sort of warehouse shelving?

And what are you trying to achieve by having it load tested - some sort of certification?

I've done a bit of load testing in the past through work so will help if I can but not sure what the question is...

Racking from reputable sources are normally rated at point of sale, are yours D.I.Y. ?

I am a current shelving and racking practitioner within my workplace and may be able to assist if you want to send me through the specifics.

Thanks guys ,
I didn’t know where to put this thread so have explained in general stalking .
Basically I’m looking at buying a second hand chiller that has a rail
System and winch .
I’ve been asked if it’s has been load tested for what I will be using it for ?
The answer is no I don’t know but it’s had 40plus fallow on it but I can’t prove that?
So if I was using the system and it gave way and injured me or my team ,questions would be asked about health and safety etc ??

I guess the op means loler tested (lifting operations and lifting equipment regulations)
