Anchoring the Load Unit
In some situations, it might be necessary to anchor the load unit to the floor. It is possible, though uncommon,
for the load unit to creep during some types of testing. An example would be high frequency testing within
the floor’s resonant frequency range. Contact MTS for additional information.
