What is Load Test Deck Crane Service?

Load test deck crane service is a critical procedure to verify the safety, performance, and structural integrity of deck cranes on vessels and offshore platforms. By simulating real-world load conditions, we ensure cranes can operate safely under maximum capacity, comply with international regulations (e.g., SOLAS, IMO), and prevent costly failures.

At Bacviet, we use water bag technology to conduct load tests with precision. This method allows for controlled, incremental loading, ensuring accurate results while prioritizing safety for personnel and equipment.

Key Benefits of Our Load Test Services:

• Ensures compliance with Class Societies (Lloyd’s, DNV, ABS) and port regulations.
• Identifies potential issues before they lead to crane failure.
• Enhances crane longevity and operational efficiency.
• Provides detailed test reports for regulatory and maintenance purposes.

Our load test deck crane service follows a rigorous, standardized process to ensure safety, accuracy, and compliance. Here’s how we do it:

1. Pre-Test Preparation:
   • Inspect the crane for proper functionality, safety features, and load indicators.
   • Review manufacturer guidelines and crane specifications to determine the test load (typically 100-125% of rated capacity).
2. Test Load Determination:
   • Calculate the maximum test load based on the crane’s rated capacity, load position, and operational parameters.
   • Ensure the test load is safely below the crane’s maximum lifting capacity.
3. Water Bag Selection:
   • Choose high-quality water bags based on the required test load and crane capacity.
   • Inspect bags for leaks, damage, or wear to ensure safety.
4. Water Bag Positioning:
   • Securely attach water bags to the crane using certified rigging equipment.
   • Distribute weight evenly to maintain balance and prevent shifting during testing.
5. Filling the Water Bags:
   • Gradually fill water bags with water, using calibrated devices to monitor weight accurately.
   • Adjust load distribution to simulate hoisting, slewing, and luffing motions.
6. Conducting the Load Test:
   • Operate the crane under controlled conditions, testing lifting, lowering, swinging, and holding at various positions.
   • Monitor crane performance, stability, and any signs of stress or abnormal behavior.
7. Safety Monitoring:
   • Continuously observe the crane, water bags, and surrounding areas during testing.
   • Ensure all personnel are at safe distances and safety protocols are followed.
8. Recording and Analysis:
   • Document test results, including applied load, crane performance, and any observed issues.
   • Provide a detailed report with recommendations for maintenance or repairs.
9. Decommissioning:
   • Safely drain and remove water bags from the crane.
   • Conduct a final inspection to ensure the crane is ready for operation.
