WATERLOAD TEST WEIGHT RENTAL
Individual bags can be hired by the day (subject to a minimum 2 day period), or for larger load tests with typically
a greater hire period, lump sum hire charges are offered reflecting appreciable discounts.
Additional items are also available including 3:1 fill manifolds, calibrated water meters, compressed air and petrol
driven water pumps, Fireman’s hoses (75ft), certified shackles and calibrated load cells.
Filling is by 2
1/2
” full bore ‘fire hose’ terminating in quick
release couplings compatible with standard hydrants.
Our ‘J’ Tube arrangement can be positioned anywhere
over the hem of the bag after attachment to the crane’s
hook to prevent the risk of the fill hose being trapped
between bags. The invert of all units of 15t and above
are fitted with 3” bronze camlock coupling to accept a
3” discharge hose which empties a 35t unit in 22 minu-
tes. Similar 2” camlock fittings on all units up to and in-
cluding 10t ensure minimum time wasted after the test.
Handling the larger units has been greatly eased by deli-
vering them in their own dedicated storage boxes which
allows the bag to be hoisted straight out of the box for
filling, and when emptied, lowered and flaked
back down with minimal site handling. This re-
duces
the manpower required, reduces site
time and keeps the bags protected at all times.
While the water filled ballast bag concept is nothing new, several innovative featu-
res have been incorporated in Scan Tech and Seaflex WaterLoad Test Weights to
make the user’s life easier.
