Water load bags are one of the safest and most efficient load testing solutions available today. This method offers versatile applications across various industry sectors and can be used to test cranes, beams, bridges, and more. Using a water weight for testing provides numerous benefits, the most notable being:
Fast and Efficient
Water load bags are easier to fill compared to alternative load testing rental equipment, resulting in a faster and more efficient process. Their design allows for faster filling, draining, and ease of handling, which means the job gets done quicker but remains highly effective. Additionally, water can be added accurately and in small increments. This precision ensures that any potential issues are identified before reaching the maximum load weight, making them an excellent choice for load testing solutions.
Reduced Cost
The efficiency of water bags eventually equates to a reduced cost, as the bags are easier to carry, store and handle. The manufacturing and dynamic features of the bags also means less time spent filling and draining after each test.
Safety
In addition to their speed and efficiency, water bags are a safer way to gradually test loads. By increasing weight incrementally, they help avoid the risks associated with sudden heavy loads. Many testing risks can be mitigated with this method, ensuring greater safety during load testing solutions. At Rigging Rentals, we only supply bags with a 6:1 safety factor, fully compliant with industry water load bag guidelines and approvals. Each bag is inspected and tested between jobs to ensure maximum safety and reliability.
