Vertical Load Test Rig for Water Storage Tanks

Compression frame that applies a vertical load on the tank top or lid to check stiffness and deformation. Used by manufacturers to validate tank lid and roof design.

Specification

A hydraulic ram with a load cell applies controlled loads to the tank lid or shoulder while displacement is measured. It checks resistance to foot traffic, stacked loads and handling. The rig accepts tanks up to 1000 litres and records force versus deflection.

Features

• Hydraulic ram 20 kN
• Load cell with digital display
• Displacement transducer
• Adjustable height frame
• Safety guards
