Ground Ladder Testing in Fredericksburg, Virginia

When it comes to firefighter safety, properly maintained and tested ground ladders are essential. Our comprehensive ground ladder testing services ensure each ladder in your fleet meets the rigorous standards set by the NFPA. With precise inspection methods and EVT-certified technicians, we verify that your equipment remains safe, functional, and compliant year after year.

We provide complete on-site testing and inspection, including:

  • Visual Test: Inspect the entire ladder for cracks, dents, corrosion, missing labels, or any visible damage that could compromise safety or performance.
  • Operational Test: Verify that all moving parts, such as halyards, pulleys, and locks, operate smoothly and correctly without binding or malfunction.
  • Bend Test: Apply a specified load to ensure the ladder can flex safely under pressure without permanent deformation or structural weakness.
  • Drift Test: Measure the ladder’s alignment after the bend test to confirm it returns to its original shape, ensuring long-term stability and reliability.

Safety, Compliance, and Confidence

Our goal is to give fire departments complete confidence in their equipment. Whether you manage a small volunteer station or a large metropolitan department, we deliver professional, dependable testing that protects your personnel and extends the service life of your ladders.
