Mobile load bank – suitable for use up to 1 megawatt
Stay Safe: Regular load tests ensure your facility's protection
Power generators are essential wherever grid access is unavailable. They are commonly used on construction sites or permanently installed as backup systems in utilities, hospitals, or data centers. Often, generator systems in continuous operation cannot be operated at their rated capacity or subjected to a load at all. Yet, load tests (50–100%) are often required by insurers and must be conducted at regular intervals. For combined heat and power systems, such as cogeneration plants, regular load testing is critical to ensure uninterrupted operation.
Do you need a reliable partner to perform load tests on your equipment? Our mobile load bank allows full-load testing of generator systems up to 1 MW, providing an efficient solution for on-site testing. We operate nationwide with our mobile load bank and bring our services directly to your location.

Key benefits for your organization
Reliability Assessment
A load test allows you to assess the reliability of backup power systems. By simulating load and unload cycles using our mobile load bank, we can identify weaknesses or potential issues before an actual power outage occurs.
Assessment of Performance Capacity
Load tests enable the performance of backup power systems to be tested under load. This helps optimize operating parameters and ensures the system operates efficiently when it is needed most.
Early Fault Detection
During load tests, potential faults or weaknesses in the backup power system can be identified. This allows for preventive measures to be taken to minimize failures in critical situations and ensure a swift restoration of power supply.
Operational Safety and Compliance
Regular load tests are often necessary to ensure that backup power systems comply with applicable regulations and safety standards. This is especially important in sensitive areas such as hospitals or data centers, where a reliable power supply is critical.
Reliable and Flexible
With our mobile load banks, we conveniently come to your location to perform the tests.

Load tests performed directly at your location
Our mobile load bank allows us to travel across the country and provide on-site testing. Experienced field technicians test your system directly at your location, avoiding the hassle of transport and reducing downtime.
Step-by-step loading
The system is gradually loaded up to 100% of its rated capacity according to the manufacturer’s specifications, and up to 110% for emergency power systems.
Inspection protocol
After the load test, you will receive a test report for your system, allowing you to review all data and serve as proof of the inspection.
Secure operation
Regular load testing ensures the safety of generators and emergency power systems by identifying and addressing potential weaknesses before they can lead to issues.
The testing is conducted in accordance with BGVA3 and TRBS. These guidelines and regulations establish standards for safety and secure operation.
