PDT 300 Precision Drop Tester

Ideal for drop testing applications of large products and packages, including returnable bulk containers, crated products, or palletized products upto 661 lbs (300 kg) from heights of 1-72 in (2.5-183 cm).
PDT300-Precision Drop Tester

The PDT 300 utilizes a welded steel drop carriage, guided by precision bearing assemblies on a structural steel guide beam. The drop carriage is raised and lowered by an electric hoist. During the drop test, the drop carriage is accelerated downward, allowing the test item to free fall.

The standard drop carriage will hold test items with a front-to-back dimension up to 41.5 in (105 cm). Extended drop carriages are available, increasing the front-to-back depth upto 118 in (300 cm). Foundation kits and steel baseplates are available for all drop carriage sizes.

The PDT 300 handheld controller lets the user safely move the drop carriage up and down, set the drop height, and perform the drop test operation.
