INSPECTION OF LIFTING APPLIANCE AND CARGO CRANE - LOAD TEST WITH WATERBAGS

Lifting Equipment Inspections and Load Testing with Water Bags
Lifting Devices: Cranes and Winches

Lifting devices, such as cranes and winches, are essential equipment used to lift, lower, and move heavy loads, especially in sectors like maritime, offshore, construction, and manufacturing. These devices provide the mechanical advantage necessary to perform lifting operations safely and efficiently.

We offer a wide range of specialized technical services for maintenance, repairs, inspections, testing, and load testing for cranes and lifting systems, including rocking tests and load tests using water bags.

Our expertise and professionalism extend across various industrial sectors, ensuring safety and reliability in structural verification and testing operations.

Load Testing with Water Bags:

Load testing with water bags or balloons is a safe and precise solution for testing the strength of structures. The key feature of this method is the ability to gradually increase the load during testing, offering greater safety for both the operators and the structure being tested. Water is gradually added until the desired load is reached, with precise monitoring via calibrated and certified flow meters or load cells.

Applications of Load Testing:

Water bags/balloons can be used for load testing in a variety of fields, including:

Maritime, Offshore, and Port Sectors: Port cranes, equipment on barges, piers, and shipboard structures, loading cranes, lifeboat cranes, gangways, walkways, winches, offshore and onshore cranes, etc.
