Construction cranes of all types can load test using proof load test water bags. DOOWIN has extensive experience load testing the following types of construction cranes:
- Ringer Cranes
- Crawler Cranes
- Rough Terrain Cranes
- Telescoping Boom Cranes
- Tower Cranes
According to the requirements of API, OSHA, ASME, NSTE standard, the proof load testing should be applied for the initial commissioning crane, after repairs, or periodic inspections.
RINGER CRANE WATER BAG TESTING
The use of water weight bags for ringer crane load testing is a safe technique for slowly applying the test load. For the reason that it allows technical problems with the crane to be recognized and corrected prior reaching the full test load. In addition, we could drain the load water without having to lower the test weight. This would be helpful in situations where the hoisting system or brakes were compromised in some way.
Apart from load testing bags, DOOWIN can also provide high capacity load cells and shackles. Our load cells are re-calibrated annually to ensure the measured loading on your crane accurate. It enhances the accuracy of the measured load once the crane put into service.
Whether your crane is located key-side, offshore, in a shipyard, at a power plant, or other location, DOOWIN proof load bags and load cells could be your first choice.
