Choosing the Correct Pull Tester
Step 1 – What are you testing?
Firstly, decide the sort of things you will be testing. Is it a safety lifeline cable, Scaffold tie anchors, wall ties, bolts, studs or a different type of fixing? List all of the types of fixings you will likely be testing in the future.
Secondly, decide what loads you will be testing up to. All our pull tester models have been designed and built for specific load ranges. Try to match your target loads as close as possible to the model load range and don’t be tempted to go higher for the sake of it (e.g. although an M2008 will test as low as 10kN it is not as accurate as an M2000 will be at that range).
Step 2 – Product Selector Flowchart
With the information in step 1, follow our Product flowchart below. By answering the questions, you should be able to conclude the most suitable Hydrajaws kit. NB If in doubt, please contact us for further advice.
WHAT ARE YOU TESTING?
Step 3 – Check the accessories.
With a list of the contents of the kit selected in step 2, check you have the necessary accessories for all the fixings you will be testing by checking our accessories chart.
NB If your test fixing is not shown, please contact us for advice.
If an accessory is missing, you can purchase it separately from us (see our accessories). If many accessories aren’t included then it may be a better option to purchase an M2000 Pro Tester Kit that has a comprehensive range of extras to cover most testing jobs. If in doubt, please contact us for advice.
Step 4 – Consider optional extras.
At this stage, it may be worth considering these optional extras to make life easier and jobs quicker.
