Crane & Hoist Testing

The continued development of Water Weights water filled test bags has increased greatly the practicability, economy and safety of providing proof load testing on cranes in power plants, general industry, construction and marine operations.

During transportation and staging the bags with load cells weigh approximately 1.5% of its rated load keeping freight costs, storage space, floor loading and especially manpower to a minimum.

The load is always measured accurately with a certified loadcell or flowmeter, so exact weight variations required during test is always achieved by simply filling or dumping the bags.

Water Weights Fact

Our water weight bags have a physically proven factor of safety in excess of 6:1 and are proof load tested to over 2:1 prior to being taken into service. Our bags are type approved by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and manufactured and maintained to our exacting standards to ISO9001 2008.
