Water Weights are extensively used in the testing of cranes in power generation facilities. Water Weights load test bags are light and easy to transport, weighing less than 1.5% of rated load when empty and rolled. The water bags also come ready rigged and ready for placement onto crane hook, which saves on set up, and labor costs.
Controlled loading and minimal handling to achieve a wide variety of loads (% of SWL) equate to minimum downtime for equipment under test. The bags are rigged empty and filled while suspended which eliminates having to reinforce the deck structure when testing with solid weights, especially in the higher ranges.
All Water Weights bags have a designed factor of safety in excess of 6:1 and each bag is physically proof load tested to minimum of twice it's rated capacity. All bags are fully certified and come with documentation of inspection and testing from birth. We fully recommend you ask your supplier for documentation of certification when using any test equipment on critical equipment and facilities.
Water Weights is fully committed to environmental awareness and preservation. We conduct our activities in a manner that manages environmental issues responsibly. Water Weights fully manage environmental impact by:
•Lowering the carbon footprint when crane testing compared to traditional methods
•Internal invasive species mitigation and prevention program
•Conducting operations in an environmentally sound manner without disturbing local ecosystems and bottom sediments by managing turbidity and flow rates during filling and discharge.
•Promoting environmental responsibility among our employees
•Pursuing continuous improvement in our environmental performance
