We could load test all types of vessel cranes using proof load test water bags. The following types of vessel cranes are typically used in the oil and gas industry.
- Knuckle Boom Cranes
- Hose Handling Cranes on Oil Tankers
- Derrick Barge Cranes
- Cargo Cranes on Bulk Carriers
- Provision Cranes
- General Use Deck Cranes
- Cargo Cranes on Container Ships
- Engine Room and Workshop Cranes
- Deepwater Service Vessel Cranes
The use of water weight bags and calibrated load cell ensures compliance with regulatory and certifying authority requirements. According to internationally recognized standards by Det Norske Veritas – Germanischer Lloyd (DNV-GL), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Bureau Veritas, Lloyds Register, periodic proof-load testing of these machines is a must.
KNUCKLE BOOM CRANE LOAD TESTING
The use of proof water filled weight bags for knuckle boom crane load testing is a safe technique for slowly applying the test load. Because it allows technical problems with the crane to be recognized and corrected prior reaching the full test load. In addition, you could drain the load water without have to lower the test weight. This would be helpful in situations where the hoisting system or brakes were compromised in some way.
DOOWIN can also provide high capacity load cell and shackles. We will calibrate the load cells to ensure the measured loading on your crane accurate. It enhances the accuracy of the measured load once the crane come back to 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 will help to work well.
