Lifeboat and Davit Test Water Bags

“Lifeboat and Davit Test Water Bags” are used for evenly distributed load tests. These load test bags come with fill/offload fittings and an automatic relief valve, which is activated once the lifeboat bags achieve the desired weight.

Canflex lifeboat testing systems have been specifically designed to provide a safe and simple method of applying a test load to life-saving appliances. Our lifeboat test bags allow for gradual application and uniform distribution of the load. Controlled loading, unloading, and minimal handling of the test load to achieve a wide range of capacities results in minimum downtime of equipment during load tests.

The lifeboat testing systems are an extremely safe and simple method of proof load testing. The bags are light, easily positioned, and fulfill the requirement for an evenly distributed load test. A control manifold and pumping system is used to fill remotely and drain the water bags. This negates having personnel be in the craft while undergoing a proof load test.

Loading is measured and verified by means of a calibrated flowmeter.

Gangway load testing bags are also available and offered in all custom sizes.

Some of the accessories for these bags include: pumps and manifold systems, hoses, carry/storage satchel, and marine grade shipping/storage plywood box.
