Test rig with 3 portals for full-scale tests
The universal large-scale test rig in its current state can perform static and dynamic tests on large supporting framework elements. Loads can be applied at up to three load input points which can be freely moved along the length. Loading frequencies can reach as high as 10 Hz, depending on the actual test arrangement and testing programme. It is also possible to perform several independent tests with one or two load input points.
