Key Features
Compact & Portable Footprint
At 5′ x 4′ within an ISO container, this load bank offers exceptional maneuverability and ease of deployment, especially in space-constrained environments or for mobile testing needs.
Granular Load Control at Lower Capacities
With minimum load steps of 1 kW and 1 kVAR, it provides precise control for fine-tuning tests on smaller power systems, ensuring accurate and detailed performance analysis.
Versatile Voltage Adaptability
While designed for 480 volts, it can also be used at lower voltages and at 50 Hz (with reduced capacity), increasing its applicability across a broader range of international or site requirements and making it a flexible asset
Why Rent this Load Bank?
Cost-Effectiveness for Infrequent Use
Many industries, such as data centers and marine shipyards, require load banks for periodic testing (e.g., commissioning new systems, annual maintenance, or compliance checks). The high upfront cost of purchasing a 500 kVA load bank may not be justified for occasional use. Renting allows companies to access this specialized equipment only when needed, reducing capital expenditures and maintenance costs.
Access to the Latest Technology and Flexibility
Load bank technology evolves, and renting provides access to the latest models. Renting also allows flexibility to scale capacity by linking units for larger loads or by choosing different models for specific voltages (e.g., 50 Hz or lower voltages). This prevents companies from being locked into outdated or mismatched equipment.
Reduced Maintenance and Storage Burden
Owning a load bank involves ongoing costs for storage, calibration, and maintenance. Renting shifts these responsibilities to the provider, who ensures the equipment is properly maintained, calibrated, and ready for use. This is especially beneficial where space and resources for storing large equipment are limited.
