Lifting & Load
Certification

Certification for flyable roll-off bins and lifting equipment — design calculations, lug and back post detailing, and stamped drawings, issued as a complete package the operator can hand to anyone who asks.

What the work covers

Scoped per project, but this is what a package normally includes.

Design calculations

Lifting lugs, back posts and the body checked against the rated load — bearing, tear-out and weld capacity at every pick point.

Lug & back post detailing

Plate sizes, hole and edge distances, and the welds back to the body, detailed so the unit can be built from the drawing.

Rated capacity

The safe working load established by calculation and stated on the drawings, so the rating the unit carries is one that has been worked out rather than assumed.

Stamped drawings & certification package

Engineered drawings and the certification sheets issued together, so the unit has a complete paper trail.

Where we work

Projects throughout British Columbia, with most work in Metro Vancouver.

Common questions

If yours is not here, call or send the drawings and we will answer directly.

What is a flyable bin?

A roll-off container rated to be lifted while loaded, rather than only rolled on and off a truck. Lifting it changes everything structurally — the load path runs through the lifting lugs and back posts instead of the floor, so the unit has to be designed and certified for it.

What does the certification package include?

Design calculations against the rated load, the lug and back post detailing, and stamped engineered drawings issued with the certification sheets. One package covering the unit, rather than loose documents.

Do you carry out the load test?

No — load testing is done by specialist test companies, and we can usually suggest one. What we provide is the engineering behind the rating: the calculations, the detailing and the stamped drawings.

Is the certification sealed by an engineer?

Yes. The calculations and the drawings are stamped and sealed by a professional engineer (P.Eng.) registered in British Columbia, which is what an insurer, an owner or a safety authority is normally asking for when they request an engineering letter for lifting equipment.

What do you need to start?

Fabrication drawings, plus the rating you want the unit to carry and how it will be picked. That is usually enough to tell you whether the rating works and what the lugs need to be.

Other services

Most projects need more than one of these, and they are coordinated together.
