We offer an extensive range of automatic load shedding and manually switchable Load Banks to suit all applications. Designed to confidently withstand everyday use in harsh and demanding environments.
Power Proving Resistive Load Banks that provide:
- Capability Testing
- Reliability Testing
- Capacity Testing
- Maintenance Testing
For all applications including:
- Workshops
- On-site load testing
- Permanently installed auto base loading units to prevent “wet stacking” of diesel generating sets when running on light loads.
Automatic Load Shedding
The Viking ALS “Load-Logic” range of load banks are designed to provide automatic single or multiple step loading of diesel or gas fuelled generating sets. The ALS units maintain sufficient base load on the generator to reduce or eliminate light load running.
Manually Switchable
The Viking portable load bank range provides an extensive range of load ratings and features to suit most generating set or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) testing situations, either in the workshop or on-site. A number of options are available for portable units:
Hot dip galvanized fork lift base with heavy duty roll frame to suit rental applications.
- Powerlock power inlet connections.
- Auxiliary power inlet for control and cooling power supply
- Fan reversing switch to rectify incorrect phase rotation.
- Folding Cable Hangers
Our range of load banks are designed for both portable and permanently installed applications.
VIKING load banks will withstand everyday use in demanding environments - commercial, data centre, industrial & mining. Our range includes dedicated single phase, multi-phase and three phase load banks from 8.4kW – 2,500kW.
- Auto connect & disconnect of load steps to maintain preset generator loading
- Continually monitors external generator load to prevent under or over loading
- Manual load testing facility
- Multi function plc colour touchscreen
- IP65 stainless steel load resistors
- Circuit breaker load step protection
- Over temperature & fan fail protection
- Stainless steel (304) fasteners
Load bank testing is vital to replicate and verify the operation of critical backup power systems such as diesel generators and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
Generator Power provide load banks that excel in a range of load test applications and environments. Rugged and built to last, we offer purely resistive, portable units up to high capacity resistive & reactive containerised solutions. Combined with best-in-class load bank control, Generator Power provides comprehensive testing, monitoring and reporting capabilities with unrivalled ease, efficiency and value for money.
The Viking ALS “Load-Logic” range of load banks are designed to provide automatic single or multiple step loading of diesel or gas fuelled generating sets. The ALS units maintain sufficient base load on the generator to reduce or eliminate light load running. This is the primary cause of accelerated engine wear and “wet stacking” for prime power and standby generators and is common where the set is supplying a varying load.
The ALS Load bank’s customer programmable settings allow constant load sensing of the external load on the generating set and the automatic application or removal of load bank steps to maintain a pre-set load on the generator. Manual operation of load steps is also available for routing testing. Standard or custom kilowatt ratings with a number of control options are available and can be tailored to customer requirements.
The VIKING workshop load bank range is designed to be both portable and user friendly.
Quiet, light weight and easy to use. All models include low noise cooling fans, switching in 1kW manual steps & over temperature protection.

The VIKING manually switchable load bank range is designed with quality in mind
A comprehensive range of load ratings from 50kW to 2500kW with features to suit most generating set or UPS testing requirements. All models are manufactured using IP65 stainless steel, low watt density resistors for a reliable service life.
Units include the manual “Load-Logic” PLC controller with 7” colour touch screen interface. This provides manual control of load steps or the selection of an automatic generating set load test sequence while providing comprehensive data feedback to the operator. Insulated resistor compartments ensure external temperatures are always maintained close to ambient for operator safety.

Custom Data Centre Solutions
Our standard data centre products provide a resistive load testing solution for most applications however we realise that some projects require a customised design approach...
Perhaps horizontal air discharge, additional ducting, custom load step sizes or units to meet specific size and weight requirements. Our technical staff are always willing to look at the feasability of custom equipment to suit specific locations or uses.
