US-based crane manufacturer DESHAZO Cranes has completed overhead crane load tests, using Unique Group’s Water Weights, at an International Paper facility in Oregon.
Unique Group’s Water Weights is a unique and simple system specifically designed to provide a test load in place of traditional solid weights for all forms of testing.
Water Weights are trusted worldwide for their safe and efficient load testing, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications.
The indoor tests confirmed the efficiency and control of the Water Weights in sensitive industrial environments.
The tests, crucial for the pulp and paper industry, verified the safety and operational readiness of overhead cranes, which are essential for continuous operations.
The testing was completed smoothly, with accurate load application and minimal disruption to operations, showcasing the effectiveness of this method.
In 2020, Unique Group achieved a milestone by completing the world’s largest water bag load test in the UAE, using 18 Water Weights and Seaflex WaterLoad bags.
The 1760 MT proof load test on the DLB 1600 Derrick Pipelay Barge demonstrated their capability in heavy load testing applications, with a lifting height of 65m.
To ensure compliance with industry guidelines, including Covid-19 restrictions, Unique Group conducted extensive QHSE assessments.
The approach guarantees the safe and timely execution of their projects, maintaining high standards in the lifting industry.
Earlier this year, Anderson Services selected UAE-based Unique Group for the load testing of overhead cranes at the Thompson Falls hydroelectric project in Montana, US.
Unique Group deployed its Water Weights to provide accurate load measurements and ensure the structural integrity of the overhead cranes.
