Load Testing Water Bags are specialized devices used to simulate precise structural loads in civil engineering, industrial platforms, and heavy equipment testing. Unlike static weights, these water bags allow controlled, uniform load application, reducing setup time and improving safety.
Constructed with reinforced high-strength rubber layers, they resist abrasion, tearing, and high-pressure stress while remaining flexible to adapt to uneven surfaces. The bags are designed for portability, rapid filling, and easy deployment, making them ideal for temporary or remote testing sites.
In 2022, a construction company in Canada used 20 Load Testing Water Bags to verify the load-bearing capacity of a temporary industrial platform supporting 150-ton machinery. The platform had no permanent support system, so conventional weights were impractical.
The bags were evenly spaced under the platform, gradually filled with water, and monitored with load sensors. The test confirmed that the platform could safely support the machinery, while water discharge and bag removal were completed efficiently. This solution saved weeks of labor and reduced risk compared to conventional steel weights.
The successful project demonstrated that Load Testing Water Bags are reliable, safe, and efficient for high-capacity temporary load testing in challenging environments.

Load Testing Water Bags allow engineers to simulate exact weights by adjusting the water volume. This precision ensures uniform load distribution across structures like bridges, roofs, or platforms, allowing accurate deflection and stress measurements.
Made from abrasion-resistant rubber with multi-layer cord reinforcement, the bags can withstand repeated filling, high-pressure operation, and rough surfaces. UV and chemical resistance extend the lifespan, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor and industrial environments.
Lightweight when empty, the bags can be transported by small teams and quickly positioned on-site. Modular sizes allow customization to specific load requirements, while cylindrical designs conform to uneven surfaces for optimal stability.
Leak-proof seams, reinforced valves, and controlled filling and drainage systems protect operators and structures. Gradual inflation and deflation prevent sudden load shifts, ensuring a safe and predictable testing process.
With over 20 years of experience, Hongruntong Marine designs Load Testing Water Bags optimized for precise structural testing. Our R&D team ensures each bag meets rigorous performance, safety, and durability standards.
All bags are produced using high-strength rubber and multi-layer cord reinforcement in ISO-certified facilities. Automated production ensures consistent thickness, leak-proof seams, and long-term reliability.
Our water bags have been used in over 35 countries for bridges, industrial platforms, and crane testing. Projects in North America and Europe validate their effectiveness, safety, and efficiency under real engineering conditions.
Hongruntong Marine provides detailed operation manuals, on-site technical guidance, and maintenance advice. Spare parts, repair kits, and responsive support extend the lifespan of each water bag while ensuring safe operation.
Available from 1 ton to several hundred tons. Multiple bags can be combined for larger structures.
Position bags evenly, ensure surfaces are stable, then fill gradually. Use sensors to monitor load distribution.
