Crane Load Test Water Bags are engineered flexible load testing devices designed for proof-load testing of cranes, davits, winches, and lifting structures in marine and industrial environments. Manufactured from high-strength PVC-coated woven fabric with reinforced seams, these water bags provide a safe, controllable alternative to traditional solid test weights.
Typical capacities range from 1 ton to over 100 tons depending on project requirements. The lightweight empty structure allows easy transportation and deployment, while the filling system enables gradual loading for precise calibration. UV resistance, abrasion protection, and excellent tensile strength ensure reliable performance even in harsh offshore or shipyard conditions.
These water bags significantly reduce logistics costs, enhance operational safety, and simplify load test procedures for shipyards, ports, offshore platforms, and heavy industry facilities.
A Southeast Asian offshore service company required annual certification of a 50-ton deck crane installed on an offshore supply vessel. Transporting solid test weights offshore was costly and logistically complex.
Hongruntong Marine supplied modular water load bags with calibrated flow meters. The bags were filled directly using seawater, allowing controlled incremental loading. The entire test was completed within one day, reducing downtime by 40%. Operators reported excellent handling, stable load behavior, and easy draining. The system has since become their standard annual testing solution.
