Pedestal Crane Load Testing Procedure<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proof load testing and certification of Pedestal Crane Load<\/a> shall be performed by water weights and digital dynamometer. Solid Test weight is not economical where testing location is offshore, Ports and anchorages and due to this, test weight is replaced by Lifting Load bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to be followed for Pedestal Crane load testing Services:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\uf0b7 Identify the SWL or Safe Working Load.
\uf0b7 Preparation of lifting plan and Rigging plan by identifying the lifting hook type.
\uf0b7 Preparation of Risk Assessment and Job scope Analysis.
\uf0b7 Barricade the area and wear the minimum PPE\/Safety jackets.
\uf0b7 Selection of water weights depends upon the capacity, diameter and height of proof load bag
\uf0b7 For a single hook crane, connect the lifting accessories of shackles, Digital dynamometer load
cell and water bags and set up the filling \/discharge hose to the valve in the right position.
\uf0b7 Handle carefully the water weights from sharp edges while connecting water weights and lifting
accessories.
\uf0b7 Installation of pulley or wire rope sling on water bag with master link and shackle assembly.
\uf0b7 For a double hook crane, carefully settle the sling between lifting accessories to avoid twisting
rope.
\uf0b7 Perform functional testing of water bags to ensure the discharge valves function properly by
pulling ropes and\/or opening &close the water bag valves.
\uf0b7 ON the digital dynamometer load cell and start filling of water
\uf0b7 Ensure to close discharge hose valves of water bag & control the discharge hose far away from
the ground.
\uf0b7 Assess the total weight by digital dynamometer load cell and connect the filling hose to the
water supply.
\uf0b7 Monitor the load in every second while filling water weights.
\uf0b7 To control the water filled weights at boom radius & as per the load chard as indicated in the
crane.
\uf0b7 Open the ball valve in the central discharge area of the water bag and drain the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\uf0b7 Lower the crane boom by lowering the water bags and disconnecting the entire water bag
assembly from the crane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements of Marine Classification Societies Approval:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To perform the proof load testing and certification of lifting Equipment\u2019s at Major Ports of UAE, needs all the Major Ports approval as well as LOLER<\/a><\/mark>, PUWER, IACS Approvals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major Port Approvals in UAE are,<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\uf0b7 TRAKHEES
\uf0b7 Port Khalid
\uf0b7 Jebel Ali Port
\uf0b7 Fujairah Port
\uf0b7 AD Ports<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major IACS Classification Society Approval in Lifting Inspection and Non-Destructive Testing are,<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\uf0b7 Llyod\u2019s Register
\uf0b7 American Bureau of Shipping (ABS)
\uf0b7 Indian Registrar of Shipping (IRS)
\uf0b7 Bureau Veritas (BV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements of Pre-Post Non-Destructive Testing of Pedestal Crane:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pre and Post NDT Test is mandatory to ensure the structural integrity of pedestal crane. If the NDT Testing is not possible by normal access, NDT by Rope Access is the economical method. Rope Access is performed by IRATA Approved Rope Access specialists with ASNT\/PCN Approvals. Commonly used NDT Testing method by Rope Access are,
\uf0b7 Magnetic Particle Examination
\uf0b7 Eddy Current Testing
\uf0b7 ACFM Inspection
\uf0b7 Ultrasonic Scanning Inspection
\uf0b7 Dye Penetrant Test etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
