As our largest tester, the FLASH 36 is capable of testing springs up to 50,000 lb. This tester is designed around large parts with heavy loads. Plate diameter is up to 24" and can support a part up to 36" in length. The FLASH 36 has a complete interlocked enclosure and a removable top plate to accommodate a large thru-rod (up to 12" Ø) for testing parts that tend to buckle under load. This optional thru-rod accessory kit is pneumatically powered and easy to use.
