Hi all,

What is the difference between class 4 and 7 hardware. Obviously a 3500kg SWL ramp but what else. The company I work for only test class 4, since if you can test class 4 you can also test 5 and 7 I can only assume its equipment costs that prevent us from doing 5 and 7?

Larger capacity roller brake tester, longer hoist etc.... Class 5 Light- up to 3500 can be tested in a Class 7 bay.
