Patent ID: 7677111

Claim:
A device for testing a tractive capacity and/or an acceleration behavior of a cable-operated lift, said device comprising: a portable test lever including: a force arm configured to have a test force exerted thereon; a load arm coupled to the force arm and including a cable receptacle, wherein the cable receptacle is configured to receive a lift cable; an integrated measuring value sensor arranged in at least one of the force arm and the load arm, wherein the integrated measuring value sensor is configured to detect a measuring parameter characterizing an operating state of the lift when the test force is exerted on the force arm and transmitted to the lift cable; and a fixed-point arrangement including a support surface separating the load arm and the force arm, wherein the support surface is adapted to pivotably engage with a fixed point end stop related to a building component and/or a second lift component to transfer the test force to the lift cable.
