Gilson makes it easy to build the machine that best fits your application. Se- lect a load frame from our 250, 300, 400 or 500 Series with capacities from 250, 000-500, 000lbf ( 1, 112-2, 224kN) , and equip it with a state-of-the-art electronic controller. Our Pro and Pro-Plus Controllers cover application needs from basic to sophisticated. We will also help you design a custom machine with capacity up to 1, 000, 000lbf ( 4, 448kN) for testing a wide range of sample types and sizes. With solid steel cross-heads from 3-6in ( 76-152mm) thick on our standard frames, Gilson load frames are the stiffest in the industry. The 300 Series frames and above are among the few meeting the stringent ACI 363 rigidity recommendations. Standard frames are equipped for testing 6x12in ( 152x302mm) cylinders, but may be outfitted with accessories to accommodate many different sized cubes, cores, beams and cylinders. The 400P Series frames accommodate two-block masonry prisms. Load Frame Mounting Stands are included with 400 series and higher frames and optional for 250 and 300 Series. Mounting stands place the lower platen at the correct height for safe, efficient handling of specimens. All frames include latchable steel Fragment Guard Doors. Controllers are side-mounted, but may be optionally installed in a separate console. Contact us for a quotation on console models.
