Why Use an EHL Solutions Hydraulic Test Bed?
The solution
In hydraulic systems, performance, safety, and reliability are non-negotiable. Whether you are testing cylinders, actuators, hoses, or complete hydraulic assemblies, a purpose-built test bed is essential. At EHL Solutions, our hydraulic test beds are engineered to deliver repeatable, controlled testing in demanding industrial environments — and our 30-tonne test bed range has become a benchmark for robustness and practicality.
Designed for Real-World Testing
Hydraulic components rarely fail in laboratory conditions — they fail in the field. EHL Solutions test beds are designed to replicate real operational loads, allowing components to be tested under controlled but realistic conditions before commissioning or return to service.
Our test beds enable:
- Load testing of hydraulic cylinders and actuators
- Functional and pressure testing prior to installation
- Fault finding, commissioning, and verification
- Reduced risk of in-service failure
By identifying issues early, downtime and costly rework are avoided.
The EHL Solutions Test Bed Range
EHL Solutions offers a scalable range of hydraulic test beds to suit workshops, mobile service teams, and industrial facilities. Each system is designed with safety, repeatability, and operator usability at its core.
Key characteristics across the range:
- Heavy-duty structural frames
- Controlled load application
- Safe, predictable operation
- Modular hydraulic architecture
- Designed and manufactured locally
Focus: 30-Tonne Hydraulic Test Beds
The 30-tonne hydraulic test bed is one of the most versatile platforms in the EHL Solutions lineup. It provides a powerful yet compact solution for testing medium to large hydraulic components commonly used in marine, industrial, and infrastructure applications.
Proven 30-Tonne Capability
- Up to 30 tonnes of controlled test load
- Suitable for a wide range of cylinder sizes and stroke lengths
- Designed to handle repeated high-load cycles without fatigue
The structure and hydraulics are engineered with generous safety margins, ensuring consistent performance over the long term.
Portable or Fixed – Built to Suit Your Operation
One of the strengths of the EHL Solutions 30-tonne range is flexibility. Customers can choose between portable and fixed configurations depending on operational needs.
Portable 30-Tonne Test Beds
Ideal for:
- On-site testing
- Mobile service teams
- Facilities with limited space
Features include:
- Compact footprint
- Integrated lifting points or skid base
- Rapid deployment without permanent foundations
Fixed 30-Tonne Test Beds
Ideal for:
- Dedicated workshops
- High-throughput testing environments
- Permanent test and commissioning facilities
Benefits include:
- Maximum rigidity and repeatability
- Optimised operator ergonomics
- Integration with workshop hydraulic infrastructure
Both options use the same proven core design philosophy — only the installation approach changes.
Locally Made, Fully Supported
All EHL Solutions hydraulic test beds are designed and manufactured locally, providing several key advantages:
- Faster lead times
- Direct engineering support
- Designs aligned with Australian standards and conditions
- Ongoing parts and service availability
Local manufacture also allows EHL Solutions to customise test beds to suit specific applications, load cases, or workshop constraints.
Robust Engineering, Proven in Service
EHL Solutions test beds are not experimental products — they are proven designs refined through real-world use. Structural frames are engineered for stiffness and longevity, while hydraulic circuits prioritise control, safety, and ease of maintenance.
This results in:
- Long service life
- Minimal downtime
- Predictable, repeatable test results
- Confidence in every tested component
A Smarter Way to Test Hydraulic Systems
Investing in a hydraulic test bed is about more than applying load — it’s about protecting assets, improving safety, and delivering confidence to operators and clients. The EHL Solutions 30-tonne hydraulic test bed range offers a practical, robust, and locally supported solution for businesses that take hydraulic performance seriously.
If you require a portable or fixed hydraulic test bed, engineered to last and proven in the field, EHL Solutions delivers a solution you can rely on.
