They can. Load cells are commonly included when accurate force measurement is required.

Load cells provide direct measurement of applied force and are commonly used for anchor bolt testing where precise reporting is required. Some systems may use calibrated pressure gauges, but load cells provide higher accuracy for engineering documentation. Hydraulic Rentals can supply anchor bolt testing rental packages that include load cells, gauges, and displacement measurement tools depending on your project requirements.
Testing equipment is specialized and requires calibration, making rentals more practical for many contractors.
Yes. Anchor bolt testing is often performed on existing structures during inspections and retrofit projects.
The applied load depends on project specifications and anchor design requirements.
Pull-out testing measures the resistance of an anchor to being pulled out of the concrete or base material.
Proof load testing applies a specified load to confirm an anchor can hold without failure.
It is required to confirm anchor performance, meet inspection standards, and reduce structural risk.
Anchor bolt testing is a controlled load test used to verify the strength and installation quality of anchor bolts.
