Hillstone Products, the oldest independent load bank company in the UK, have for over 25 years designed and manufactured load banks for battery discharge testing and UPS & genset load testing to customers across the world.
Based in Manchester, England and with our sister company Hillstone Middle East (HMET) in Dubai we offer local sales support in Europe, Middle East and Far East for AC & DC loadbanks and heatload server simulators.
Q: Why does the Hillstone GENSET_loadbank range improve Datacentre reliability?
A:
In today’s modern datacentres fuel is the single point of failure and with the combination of the IT load running between 20% to 50% the risk of generator failure has never been greater.
Full technical support for the range of load banks are available within this web site and our sales offices are available to assist with any requirement that you may have.
Load banks are used for testing:
- Battery systemsLoad banks are used in sectors such as:
- Oil and Gas
2017 saw the start of datacentre customers moving away from load bank rental and towards the need to buy equipment sufficient to test new large facilities.
The increase sales for rack mounted server simulators and floor standing heatload load banks resulted in further Hillstone expansion, with a 4th factory,
sufficient for the extra production lines to be opened.
New product designs for DC battery_loadbanks have reduced the production times and increased productivity.
The HPBL range has reduced size, increased ratings for both automatic and manual constant current discharge testing
2018 has been a year of load bank manufacturing and software R&D which will see the release of a new suite of load bank software in Qtr 3
Hillstone have continued to implement ISO9001 Quality Assurance and now operate under the 2015 standard.
Hillstone continue to support as a Corporate Partner membership of the Datacentre Alliance.
Hillstone are an endorser to the European Code of Conduct for Datacentres with the ability to issue datacentre calibration reports under IST testing services focused on reducing energy useage and creating energy efficient operations.
