Crane Load Test Water Bags provide a modern, flexible solution for proof-load testing of cranes, lifting appliances, and structural hoisting systems across marine, port, construction, and industrial sectors. Designed as a safer and more economical alternative to traditional solid weights, these systems enable precise load simulation while simplifying transportation, storage, and deployment.
Hongruntong Marine water load bags are fabricated from high-strength polyester woven fabrics coated with advanced PVC elastomer compounds engineered for marine durability. The reinforced structural design ensures high tensile capacity, excellent tear resistance, and strong abrasion performance. Integrated lifting webbings distribute load forces evenly to maintain structural integrity during repeated lifting cycles.
Each bag incorporates high-flow filling valves, secure discharge systems, pressure safety protection, and optional calibrated monitoring equipment to allow gradual load application. Capacities typically range from small verification loads to large-scale heavy lift testing through modular combinations.
These water bags are widely used in shipbuilding, port infrastructure, offshore maintenance, heavy construction, and industrial crane certification programs where safe, repeatable, and efficient load testing is required.
A large shipbuilding company required commissioning tests for newly installed gantry cranes used in hull block assembly. Previous testing relied on steel weights that were costly to transport within the yard and required significant labor for rigging and repositioning. Tight construction schedules made prolonged testing operations undesirable.
Hongruntong Marine supplied crane load test water bags configured to match the required proof loads. The bags were positioned quickly, filled using available freshwater sources, and monitored throughout the testing process. Gradual load application allowed engineers to verify crane structural performance, load indicators, braking systems, and safety mechanisms with high accuracy.
The shipyard completed the commissioning process ahead of schedule. Handling risks associated with heavy steel weights were eliminated, labor requirements were reduced, and storage space for test equipment was significantly minimized. The company subsequently integrated water load bags into its standard crane commissioning procedures and reported strong satisfaction with reliability, operational simplicity, and cost efficiency.
