Description
2000C Deluxe Hydrajaws Testing Kit | Guardian Fall Protection
The Hydrajaws System tests fasteners and anchors. It consists of a mechanical screw arrangement acting through a hydraulic load cell, which measures the load applied to the fixture directly. The resulting load value is then indicated on the dial-type or optional digital gauge. The tester has a built-in movement indicator scale (50mm standard or 100mm optional) to show first movement on the fixing prior to the test load being applied. The tester is supplied as an integral part of the tester kit.
More Info
Anchor Testing Kit for Load Verification
The 2000C Deluxe Hydrajaws Testing Kit by Guardian Fall Protection is an anchor testing kit designed for load testing fasteners and anchors in fall protection programs. Site supervisors, safety coordinators, and fall protection inspectors typically use this test kit to verify fixture load and support safety compliance. It features a hydraulic load cell, a mechanical screw arrangement, and a dial-type gauge for clear load measurement.
Industry Applications and Professional Use
Construction Work Environments
Construction supervisors typically use anchor testing equipment when crews install or inspect anchor points on active job sites. The Hydrajaws system supports fasteners and anchors verification before work at height begins. Teams often rely on load testing to confirm fixture load readings and maintain organized fall protection inspection records.
Utilities and Field Maintenance
Utility crews commonly use this tester kit during maintenance tasks on structures, poles, and service locations. The hydraulic load cell helps crews apply controlled force to anchors and monitor load measurement during scheduled checks. This approach supports practical safety compliance in demanding field conditions.
Transportation Infrastructure
Transportation maintenance teams often use anchor tester equipment for anchor points on bridges, terminals, and related access structures. Workers use the movement indicator scale to note first movement before the test load is applied. That information helps teams evaluate fixture verification needs across varied infrastructure assets.
Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing safety teams typically use this testing kit during plant inspections and anchor point audits. The dial-type gauge helps technicians document hydraulic testing results with consistent readings. This supports fall protection inspection programs in areas where workers access elevated equipment.
Warehousing and Municipal Services
Warehouse managers and municipal crews often use anchor testing tools for periodic checks at building anchor locations. The system helps identify changes in fasteners and anchors before routine access work. These groups value a tester kit that supports load measurement and documented compliance checks.
Technical Specifications and Product Features
Understanding Product Standards
Technical details matter because anchor testing depends on accurate force application and readable results. This Hydrajaws system combines mechanical and hydraulic components to measure fixture load directly, which supports reliable test reporting. Users can select a dial-type gauge or optional digital gauge depending on their workflow.
| Specification | What It Means | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrajaws system | A dedicated anchor tester for testing fasteners and anchors | Supports structured anchor testing across inspection programs |
| Hydraulic load cell | Measures applied load directly at the fixture | Helps users record load measurement with clarity |
| Dial-type gauge or optional digital gauge | Displays the test reading in an easy-to-read format | Helps crews track hydraulic testing results efficiently |
| Movement indicator scale 50mm standard or 100mm optional | Shows first movement on the fixing before test load is applied | Helps users note early fixture movement during verification |
Use Case Scenarios and Applications
Scheduled Inspection Cycles
This tester kit works well during scheduled inspections when teams check anchor points at regular intervals. Workers use the movement indicator scale and gauge to document readings before and during load testing. That process supports repeatable fall protection inspection routines.
Pre-Use Verification
Crews often apply this equipment before access work begins at elevated locations. The hydraulic load cell helps verify fasteners and anchors while the dial-type gauge gives a clear reading. This helps teams confirm fixture load status before work proceeds.
Compliance Audits
Safety coordinators commonly use the kit during compliance audits and program reviews. They compare readings, check anchor points, and record results for internal documentation. The tester kit supports organized safety compliance across multiple work areas.
Occasional Field Testing
Maintenance teams also use this anchor testing kit for occasional-use tasks in areas that do not need daily testing. The mechanical screw arrangement gives users controlled application during hydraulic testing. That makes the kit practical for periodic evaluation of fasteners and anchors.

Selection Guide and Product Suitability
When to Choose This Product
Choose this anchor testing kit when your team needs load testing for fasteners and anchors during scheduled inspections. It also suits construction, utility, and facility work where workers need fixture load readings and clear documentation. The dial-type gauge and hydraulic load cell help teams manage verification tasks with consistent results.
Key Evaluation Factors
- Gauge preference and reading style
- Need for 50mm or 100mm movement indicator scale
- Testing frequency across the site or program
- Compatibility with the anchor types in use
Limitations and Alternative Considerations
This product is not suitable for applications that do not involve anchor testing or fixture verification. Teams needing general lifting gear or unrelated inspection tools should consider other equipment categories. Users should also review whether a dial-type gauge or optional digital gauge better fits their documentation process. Available from All Safety with standard, expedited, or overnight shipping to suit project timelines.
Daily Use and Maintenance
Workplace Integration
Use the kit when scheduled inspections, pre-use verification, or compliance testing calls for controlled load testing on anchors. Crews typically apply the hydraulic load cell per manufacturer instructions and record results with the gauge. Teams commonly use it at construction sites, maintenance areas, and building anchor locations.
Care and Replacement Guidelines
Inspect mechanical, hydraulic, and gauge components before use and follow manufacturer instructions for ongoing checks. Clean the tester kit with appropriate non-damaging methods, and store it in a dry protected case or location. Replace worn or damaged parts, or components that show inaccurate readings, per manufacturer specifications.
