What makes ETA test rigs different

🎯
Realistic simulation

Our rigs replicate real-world multi-axis load conditions — not simplified single-axis approximations. The result: test data that correlates to actual field behaviour.

📊
Data-rich acquisition

Online calibration, real-time plotting and full data recording as standard. Test results are immediately available for analysis — no post-processing delays on your development timeline.

🔧
Standalone operation

Independent hydraulic power packs, self-contained electrical cabinets and user-friendly software mean your team can run tests without specialist support on every shift.
