Load Test Example - Port of Milwaukee Cream City and Reynolds Crane Service teamed up to perform a load test to certify a Load Bar. The front sleigh has two 8,000lb weights, the middle has two 30,000lb weights and the back has two 18,000 lb weights. 112,000 lbs is the total of all of the weights and the Spreader Bar itself weighs 10,000 lbs, for a grand total of 122,000 lbs. The bar must be perfectly balanced and level and maintain its fabrication strength for 10 minutes.
The lift was a success. The bar was then transported to port of Milwaukee. It is to be used to load barges when the load is 35' long and 15' wide, which is the largest freight container size on a barge site.
