Services: Aerial ladders, platforms, water towers and ground ladders.

Diversified Inspections/ITL offers a complete inspection and non-destructive testing program for fire departments to meet current NFPA 1914 guidelines for testing aerial ladders, elevating platforms, and water towers.

The inspections include a complete visual and operational test of the vehicle aerial device and associated equipment. Additionally, various non-destructive test methods are used to locate defects.

A report is issued following these inspections; and if no abnormalities exist, a certificate of compliance is issued in accordance with NFPA 1914 guidelines. The certificate is withheld if repair is necessary until such time as the needed repairs are complete.

We offer a thorough test and inspection of ground ladders in accordance with the current NFPA 1932 guidelines. The testing of ground ladders can minimize ladder failures due to abuse, overloading, normal wear or heat.

• Visual/operational inspections
• Load test
• Timing and functional tests
• Hardness/and eddy current test of non-ferrous metal components
• Magnetic particle and/or dye penetrant test of critical welds and casting
• Hydraulic oil analysis
