Used for a range of lifting and hoisting applications, hoists are designed to be highly enduring while maintaining a lightweight composition for efficient operation. Other features include external shock and fracture resistance, overload clutches for prevention of excess lifting and low headroom for maximum lifting height.

During inspection and subsequent certification of equipment or tools, load tests are often performed to measure weight capabilities in comparison to the accepted standards. Load testing involves putting demand on a system and measuring the response. In mechanical systems, such as hoists or trolleys, specific manufacturer or OSHA guidelines state maximum load capacities for safe and efficient use.

For various industrial and construction equipment specific inspection standards must be met in accordance with OSHA compliance and manufacturer specifications. Certified inspection practices are necessary to ensure proper equipment operation and safe working conditions.
