8 Generally, if they are going to fail, they will fail quickly. - Joshua Gepner, Environmental Systems Design, load bank Portfolio in the WorldLoad bank Series 1000 load bank Series 2000 and 3000 load bank Series 3000 and 4000 load bank Series 3000 and 5000If you need a load bank that is easily transportable and maneuverable but can still provide a high enough load for your needs, than a trailer-mounted load bank is for you. Typically used by rental companies, our trailer mounted load Banks use the latest load bank technology combined with its superior versatility. Various Voltages and Frequencies Available DOT Certified Trailers Remote or Local Controls Sigma Intelligent Control Available Vertical or Horizontal Airflow Storage Box, Manual or Electric Cable Reels, and Quick Disconnect Receptacles AvailableWe offer a complete line of lightweight and portable load Banks .

9 They are designed and constructed to the highest standards to resist vibration encountered during trans-portation. Our load Banks are lightweight, compact, and reliable. Smaller models are available with handy carry cases for protection and most models come with casters for maneuverability in the tightest spaces. Our lightweight and portable load Banks are perfect for operators that are testing lower loads in a variety of places. Dual Voltage Local Controls Standard Data Logging with Digital Metering Designed to Fit through Man Doors and Freight Elevators Sigma Intelligent Control AvailableRadiator 10-1500 kWOur radiator mounted load Banks are designed to be fitted directly onto diesel Generator sets . The load bank utilizes the engine cooling air from the Generator radiator to cool the load elements.

10 Radiator mounted load Banks are de-signed as supplemental loads rated 50-70% of Generator kW. We can offer models that allow from 10-1500 kW load and with this unique design, it is perfect for Generator that consistently light load . Indoor or Outdoor Construction Remote or Local Controls Roof Mounted Designs are also Available Automatic load Controller (Optional)The most popular load bank requests are for purely resis-tive models, these apply load in a resistive manner only. Our resistive load Banks are ruggedly constructed and designed for continuous operation and are available for all applications including small indoor load test to large outdoor static load tests. We offer a complete power range from 5 kW to over 6000 kW. Our resistive load Banks are CE approved for Europe and also UL approved for use in America.
