On instances where only the lifeboat davit requires load testing, specially designed Water Weights bags are used for suspended loads on the davit hooks during testing and certification. These bags have been specially designed for remote dumping of the load along with low headroom requirements when the davit is swung in the stowed position.
Water Weights™ bags are Type Tested and certified with a physically proven factor of safety in excess of 6:1. In addition, each bag is physically proofload tested to twice its rated capacity prior to leaving the factory.
The load is always measured with a certified load cell allowing for an accuracy of +/- 1% of the load with a remote readout for convenience.
Water Weights™ with its comprehensive network of operators and associates worldwide can assist with your lifeboat and davit testing requirements. Our safe and
certified product range, with our considerable worldwide expertise, leaves Water Weights equipment as “The Way” of safely performing lifeboat and davit testing.
