The Subsalve USA Lifeboat Davit Testing system allows testing of lifeboats and other structures in areas with inadequate access for conventional fixed weights. The handling weight of water-filled test bags is significantly lower compared to fixed weights, increasing ease of use.
Each lifeboat is constructed of durable urethane-coated nylon fabric. The nylon fabric has a breaking strength of over 1,000 lbs. per inch and the urethane coating is resistant to fuels and most petrochemicals.
To use the system, simply place the empty bag in the desired location, fill it with water, perform a stress test and drain the water from the bag.

Fully enclosed cylindrical bags are ideal for rescue in shallow waters, reducing the draft of a vessel or lifting an object closer to the surface. They are invaluable when working with cables and pipes and where long tows are planned.
Subsalve USA has produced a 5-ton Deep Ocean Lift Bag that has unprecedented strength, low elasticity and excellent resistance to abrasion and chemical attack. It has become the standard design for the Professional Lift Bag.
