Load Tests

LIFTING DEVICES: DAVIT CRANES AND WINCHES

We perform Load Test on all type of Lifting Appliances including Ships´ Deck Cranes, Engine Room Bridge Cranes, with our certified load testing equipment. We test your equipment in accordance with the Merchant Shipping Regulations / Flag State Requirements / ILO Convention 152 as applicable. 

The use of Hydro-Wates water test weight bags and certified load indicating equipment ensures compliance with regulatory and certifying authority requirements for initial and periodic proof-load testing of these machines. With our boat hoist proof load testing services, we can provide certification of proof-load test results to meet OSHA, as well as internationally recognized standards specified by Det Norske Veritas – Germanischer Lloyd (DNV-GL), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Bureau Veritas, Lloyds Register, and others.

The use of water test weight bags for boat hoist and crane load testing is recognized as a safe technique for slowly applying the test load. This allows technical problems with the crane to be recognized and corrected prior to reaching the full test load. In addition, load water can be drained without have to lower the test weight.
