We perform certified load testing using water bags to verify the safe working load of lifeboats, davits, cranes, and other lifting equipment. Our system includes calibrated load cells and precise measurement to meet class requirements for overload and proof tests. Water bag testing provides a safe, controlled way to assess lifting gear strength without mechanical risk. Prosolas conducts these tests onboard or in port under class supervision with official certificates issued upon completion.
