The 145kN model tester has been designed to meet the demand for proof load testing of larger construction fixings. A lightweight triangular shape aluminium load spreading bridge has been designed specifically for this tester and directs reaction loads away from the fixing. This combined with the tester, only weighs 14kg.

The tester comes complete with threaded bar adaptors M12-M30 and housed in a lightweight compact design metal case. Operation is by a simple ratchet handle requiring very little pressure to achieve the load. The digital readout can be set for live or max results.

Application examples:

Proof and failure load testing of a wide variety of fixings including:

• High load resin anchors
• Cast in sockets and channel
• Holding bolts in stantion base plates
• Base plates for column lighting
• Anchorage for crach barriers
• Bridge parapet anchors
• Rebar fixings
• Safety line wire
