MCS Mechatronic manufactures electronic horizontal chain and rope testing machines in Kolhapur, India, and supplies them to lifting gear makers, mining and offshore suppliers, ports and inspection agencies in Egypt. The horizontal bed takes long specimens of chain, wire rope, slings and fittings and tests them in tension up to 3000 kN.
Egypt has one of Africa's largest steel and construction sectors, with rebar mills, cement plants and new industrial zones around Cairo, Alexandria and the Suez Canal Economic Zone. Mega-projects, a growing automotive components base and expanding oil and gas activity all depend on materials that are tested before use. Lifting chains, slings and wire ropes must be proof-load and break-load tested, and a horizontal machine handles their length easily.
Seven models from 100 kN to 3000 kN share the same hydraulic design and measuring system.
CR-10 to CR-300
Hydraulic horizontal tester with a precision load cell and microprocessor measurement for chains and ropes under tension.
| Models / capacity | CR-10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 200, 300 – 100 to 3000 kN |
| Measuring ranges | Two auto-selected ranges per model (e.g. 0–40 and 40–100 kN on CR-10) |
| Distance between grips | 100 to 3000 mm, adjustable in 500 mm steps |
| Ram stroke | 500 mm (CR-10 to CR-50); 600 mm (CR-100 to CR-300) |
| Accuracy | ±1%, Grade A of BS 1610 and Grade 1.0 of IS 1828 |
| Measurement | Precision load cell, microprocessor system, rotary encoder for displacement |

Our machines are used by steel rebar mills, cement and construction material producers, automotive component makers, oil and gas suppliers, engineering universities and testing laboratories. Typical Egyptian applications include:
Proof load and breaking load of chains and slings
Haulage chain and wire rope testing
Mooring chain, lashing and wire rope checks
Lifting sets and rigging hardware
Hoist chains, hooks and fittings
Periodic re-certification of lifting gear
MCS chain and rope testing machines are built to a loading accuracy of ±1%, as per Grade A of BS 1610 and Grade 1.0 of IS 1828, the accuracy class used for proof-load and break-load certification.
In Egypt, product conformity is overseen by EOS (Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality), and laboratories that issue accredited reports work under EGAC (Egyptian Accreditation Council). With the optional Windows-based software, load and elongation can be recorded for test certificates.
We supply chain & rope testing machines to industrial cities and project sites across Egypt, including:
Machines are packed in seaworthy export cases and shipped from India to Alexandria Port, Port Said and Sokhna Port.
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and the machine's calibration certificate are supplied with every shipment.
Online operator training on the machine and its software, with remote technical support from our team in India.
Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures horizontal chain and rope testing machines in Kolhapur, India, and exports them to Egypt through ports such as Alexandria Port and Port Said.
Seven models from CR-10 (100 kN) to CR-300 (3000 kN), each with two auto-selected measuring ranges.
The distance between the gripping heads is adjustable from 100 to 3000 mm in 500 mm steps, using motor-driven gear shafts.
Wire ropes, slings, shackles, hooks and other lifting fittings can be tested in tension with suitable accessories.
Egyptian standards issued by EOS largely follow ISO methods. MCS chain and rope testers are accurate to ±1%, as per Grade A of BS 1610 and Grade 1.0 of IS 1828, and results can be recorded through the optional PC software for your EOS or client records. We supply the technical documents your importer needs for registration and customs clearance.
The supply voltage depends on the model. Egypt's three-phase supply is 380 V at 50 Hz, so please mention your site voltage and frequency in your enquiry so we can confirm the right electrical configuration.
Tell us the maximum load, specimen length and items you test, and we will recommend the right model.
