WATER PROOF LOAD BAG SAFETY FACT SHEET
In the majority of countries proof load testing of lifting equipment is a mandatory
requirement, such requirements are legal minimums and many companies or industries
choose to set more rigorous standard.
Proof load testing is an essential part of any inspection, repair and maintenance program for
lifting equipment. In situations where live load testing is not specifically mandated, it is still
an essential element of safe maintenance and advisable for liability purpose.
A successful proof load test instills confidence in customer, operator and owner.
The use of Dibama Supplies water filled load bags for load testing all kind of lifting
equipment is recognized worldwide as a safe, efficient and cost effective system.
Dibama Supplies bags have been specifically designed and physically proof load tested to
verify that their operational integrity exceeds UK Health and Safety Executive safety
standards for lifting equipment.
All equipment has a proven and certified factor of safety in excess of 6:1.
Gradual application of load under test conditions is essential. This is more easily achieved
using Dibama Supplies bags than additional solid weights.
In the event of failure of the equipment under test, consequential loss or damage is usually
limited and often prevented when using water weights (water bags).
Dibama Supplies performs load testing on all types of lifting equipment and
lifting tackle for all types of industries.
Tests are mainly performed using our water bags but if your environment does not allow the use of water or if you would prefer solid weights they are also available for use on request.
