Test Weights and Accessories

Test weights are used to apply a known, certified load to equipment, structures, or systems to confirm they are safe, accurate, and compliant with standards. Their main purposes include: Load Testing, Calibration and Verification, Proof Testing, Commissioning/Re‑certification, Safety and Compliance

AWE stocks over 240 tonnes of certified test masses for sale and hire, offering standard calibrated test weights from 1 mg to 1 tonne, supported by a comprehensive range of rated slings, chains and lifting cradles for safe deployment.

In addition to standard solutions, AWE specialises in the fabrication and certification of custom test masses in virtually any shape or size to suit specific test requirements. These test weights are used to verify cranes, hoists, lifting equipment, structures and load‑bearing systems, ensuring compliance, safety and operational confidence.
