Loadbanks
Industrial Load Bank Rental Solutions: Serving the right load testing equipment to help you achieve your business goals
Add peace of mind with loadbank hire
Our industrial loadbank rental testing equipment will make sure your power won’t let you down when you need it the most.
Loadbanks are used to test electrical power supplies. They simulate variable electrical load conditions in a way that can be accurately controlled, measured and recorded.
It’s vital to test your systems so you know they’re up to the job – whether you’re commissioning new generators, or need to carry out routine maintenance. It’s also important to run backup generators regularly to burn off any unburned fuel, oil, or condensation.
Flexible load bank testing solutions to match your power load
Each test is different, so we offer a range of loadbanks that we match to your needs.
We have resistive-only AC loadbanks, combined resistive and reactive loadbanks in single or multiple units, and direct current (DC) loadbanks. They can be used on single or three phase and come in a range of sizes, so we can customise our equipment to your testing needs.
Our loadbanks are used in a range of applications:
- Generator and turbine testing: Validate generator and turbine performance by simulating full electrical loads. Ensure stable voltage and frequency while preventing issues like wet stacking.
- Mission critical facilities: Guarantee uninterrupted power supply for hospitals, data centres, and emergency services by testing backup generators and UPS systems offline, ensuring compliance and operational readiness.
- Data centres: Simulate electrical and heat loads to support commissioning, maintenance, and capacity planning. Ensure optimal power distribution, cooling, and system reliability.
- Industrial and oil & gas: Test heavy-duty generators and turbines under full load and motor start conditions to maintain safe, efficient, and compliant operations in demanding environments.
- Marine and shipping: Conduct endurance and emergency generator testing to meet classification standards, ensuring vessel safety and operational readiness.
- Utilities and renewable energy: Support utilities and renewable projects by performing substation testing and simulating grid conditions for wind, solar, and utility power systems without disrupting service.
We’ve designed our controls to make testing simple. You can do it remotely using a simple hand-held device, or on a laptop using our testing software, which allows you to collect test data – useful if you need to provide your customers and partners with proof of testing.
