Precision Testing Made Easy
0-25kN Dual Scale and Rechargeable: Featuring a digital gauge with dual scale measurement up to 25kN, this advanced tool ensures precise load testing. The rechargeable design and detachable feature simplify calibration and reduce carrier return costs, providing reliable and efficient testing.
Height Adjustable Legs and Pin Arrangement: The 2020 model load spreading bridge includes height adjustable legs with four pin positions and swivel feet providing 15mm of fine adjustment. This ensures optimal alignment and stability across various testing scenarios, enhancing the reliability of your measurements.
Preassembled and User-Friendly: The tester comes preassembled, allowing for quick and easy attachment of accessories. With up to 50mm of stroke, a turning handle with a 22mm (7/8″) integrated nut for confined spaces, a 12-month valid Hydrajaws gauge calibration certificate, and a robust protective carry case with full operating instructions, this solution is designed for both convenience and precision in all your testing needs.
Equipped with state-of-the-art data logging capabilities, the M2000 allows for real-time monitoring and tracking of pull testing results via the free-to-use Hydrajaws Verify App.
The National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) is the trade body for access and scaffolding in the UK. It sets the standards and guidelines to ensure the safety and integrity of scaffolding structures. The NASC provides essential guidance notes and technical documents for maintaining high safety standards within the industry. One such document is the NASC Guidance Note ‘TG4:19 – Anchorage Systems for Scaffolding’, which outlines the requirements for testing scaffold anchors.
The TG4:19 guidance specifies two types of tests for scaffold anchors. Preliminary tests check the suitability and allowable loads of an anchor type in a particular base material. These tests are essential before using a specific anchor type in the field, ensuring the anchor can support the required loads in the given material. This step prevents failures that could lead to accidents or structural issues
Proof tests are sample tests carried out to ensure anchors have been installed correctly on all jobs. The TG4:19 guidance specifies that the proof load testing requirement involves a tensile test of 1.5 times the design load. For heavy-duty ties with a capacity of 12.2kN, the required test load would be 18.3kN. Conducting these tests ensures that the anchors can safely support the loads they are designed to carry, maintaining the safety and stability of the scaffolding structure.
