MARINE AND MAINLAND CRANE - WATERBAG LOAD TESTING
Marine & Mainland
Crane Services Inc. offers waterbag load testing. Waterbags provide a
flexible means for all forms of load testing or ballasting in lieu of
traditional dead weights. In combination with a calibrated load cell,
this system allows an economical and safe means of utilizing water for
load testing. Practical applications for waterbag testing include, but
are not limited to, cranes, davits, lifeboats, structures, ballasts,
and counterweights.
Waterbags can be utilized for any application in which a suspended load
is preferred or required. Marine & Mainland offers an inventory of
bags up to 35 tons single bag capacity. Due to their flexibility, the
bags can be stacked in tandem and regulated with the amount of water to
provide any combination of loads from 1 to 300 tons.
Waterbags provide for safe working conditions. The bags maintain a
proof load type test certificate of a minimum 5:1 safety factor. In
combination with a certified load cell calibrated to +/- 2%, the
operator knows exactly the load being lifted.
Waterbags are economical to use. Weighing approximately 2% of their
rated capacity, transportation and storage costs are minimal as
compared to conventional weights. Their lightweight characteristics
allow for ease of handling and control resulting in minimum downtime
for equipment being tested.
Let us show you the difference Marine & Mainland Crane Services,
Inc. can make. Please call us for an estimate on your next load test
requirement.
