Horizontal Chain & Rope Tester Supplier for Nigeria
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 Nigeria. The horizontal bed takes long specimens of chain, wire rope, slings and fittings and tests them in tension up to 3000 kN.
Nigeria's steel rolling mills, construction boom and oil and gas sector have made material testing a growing priority. SON has stepped up checks on reinforcement bars and building materials, and universities, polytechnics and private labs across Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt are upgrading their testing equipment. Lifting chains, slings and wire ropes must be proof-load and break-load tested, and a horizontal machine handles their length easily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you export chain and rope testing machines to Nigeria?
Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures horizontal chain and rope testing machines in Kolhapur, India, and exports them to Nigeria through ports such as Apapa Port, Lagos and Tin Can Island Port, Lagos.
What capacities are available?
Seven models from CR-10 (100 kN) to CR-300 (3000 kN), each with two auto-selected measuring ranges.
How long can the test specimen be?
The distance between the gripping heads is adjustable from 100 to 3000 mm in 500 mm steps, using motor-driven gear shafts.
What can be tested apart from chains?
Wire ropes, slings, shackles, hooks and other lifting fittings can be tested in tension with suitable accessories.
Do you provide documents for SONCAP clearance in Nigeria?
Imports into Nigeria go through the SONCAP conformity programme, which is handled by the importer. 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 SON or client records. We supply the technical datasheets and documents needed for the SONCAP process.
Can the machine run on the power supply used in Nigeria?
The supply voltage depends on the model. Nigeria's three-phase supply is 415 V at 50 Hz, so please mention your site voltage and frequency in your enquiry so we can confirm the right electrical configuration.
