All types spreader beams can proof load test using test weight water bags. DOOWIN proof load bags could perform well in load testing the following types of spreader beams and below the hook lifting devices:
- Vessel Cargo Handling Beams
- Container Handling Beams
- Wind Turbine Blade Lifting Beams
- Eccentric Load Center Beams
- Orange Peel Grapples
- Log Handling Grapples
- Machine Shop Tool Handling Beams
The use of DOOWIN water filled weights bags ensures proof-load test results compliance with regulatory and certifying authority requirements, which include Det Norske Veritas – Germanischer Lloyd (DNV-GL), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Bureau Veritas, Lloyds Register, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), OSHA, and others. It is a must for initial and periodic proof-load testing of the hook lifting appliances.
WIND TURBINE SPREADER BEAMS
The use of water bags for proof load testing wind turbine spreader beams is a safe technique for slowly applying the test load. In addition, load water can be drained away at a safe distance without having to reposition or lower the test weights.
DOOWIN can also provide high capacity load cells and shackles. We calibrate the load cells to ensure the measured loading on your beam accurate.
Whether your spreader beam is located key-side, offshore, in a shipyard, at a power plant, or other location, DOOWIN load testing water bags will be your first choice.
