Load Testing

During the load tests, water is gradually filled into the bag to simulate a working load environment. The structural integrity, hydraulic stability, and general performance of the system under test are observed. After the test, measurements are compared against international standards. All tests are conducted in accordance with SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea), LEEA (Lifting Equipment Engineers Association), and national authority protocols. Upon completion, clients are provided with a comprehensive test report and certificate—often required by class societies and port authorities.
