From load testing to coffee holding

Crestchic’s Service team have created a new loadbank unit designed to light up and hold coffee cups, but this one-of-a-kind piece is more about bygone nostalgia than keeping generators and power supplies on their toes!

Ian Casson, Crestchic’s Service Manager, said: ”I was randomly searching ebay and found a listing for one of our old loadbanks, made back in 1989. It had been used on a farm in Shropshire testing single phase generators.

“It was in a really poor condition, with beaten panels and covered in over 30 years of rust and muck.  However, testament to our precision engineering, it was still fully functional!

Crestchic is a specialist electrical equipment business which manufactures, sells and rents loadbanks and transformers from its base in Burton on Trent and has depots in France, Germany, Belgium, UAE and Singapore.
