LoadTrac II
The LoadTrac II loadframe provides compression/
extension testing for a number of geotechnical tests
that must have accurate control of the rate of
displacement during loading. With accessories, the
unit can perform CBR, unconfined compression and
triaxial shear phase testing.

The base unit includes a stepper motor, lead screw,

vertical tension rods and crosshead, displacement
transducer, electronic controls and network
communications. Versions of the unit are available
to test loads up to 45 kN (10,000 lbs.). Displacement
rates can be set to any value between 0.00003 and
15 mm per minutes (0.000001 to 0.6 inches per
minute). CBR displacement rate is set at 1.27
mm/min. (0.05 in./min.) in accordance with ASTM D
1883. USER BENEFITS

Total automation of control, data
The base unit can run in stand alone mode without a collection and reporting of test
computer. It includes built-in data acquisition and results
display capability. Sensor readings are displayed in
