INITIAL CONSULTATION

We have extensive experience in the design, development,
manufacture and commissioning of fluid power test rigs for end of
production sign off or component testing. Our test rigs are used
in demanding and ‘mission critical’ applications including defence,
manufacturing quality control, plant maintenance and research and
