Water Weights Proof Load Testing Bags

Model Water Weights®; LB-type (lifeboats), GT-type (gangways)

Water-filled proof load bags for load testing cranes, lifting equipment, structures, lifeboats and gangways.

Description

Water Weights® water-filled proof load bags are used to load test lifting equipment and load-bearing structures. The test load is applied gradually, so problems can be identified before the maximum load is reached, and the bags reduce rigging time compared with solid weights.

Key features

  • Gradual application of test load
  • Alternative to solid test weights with reduced rigging time
  • LB-type bags for lifeboats and GT-type bags for standard gangways
  • Lifeboat testing system; complemented by Britlift spreader beams and JCM load cells and shackles

Applications

  • Proof load testing of cranes, davits, lifeboats and gangways
  • Load testing of a Huisman 2200T leg encircling crane
  • 1760 t crane load test on an offshore vessel
