CYLINDER CARRIER AZA1160
The AZA1160 Concrete Cylinder Carrier from AZA-LAB is a precision-engineered handling tool designed for laboratories, construction sites, and field testing environments that routinely work with concrete cylinder specimens. Built for the safe and ergonomic transport of 150 mm × 300 mm concrete cylinders, this carrier ensures sample integrity throughout the curing and testing process.
Concrete cylinder specimens are fundamental in assessing compressive strength as per civil and structural engineering standards. Weighing over 15 kg when cured, these specimens are prone to chipping, cracking, or impact damage when manually handled. The AZA1160 provides a secure, stable, and balanced solution that safeguards the sample while offering ease of movement for technicians.
Manufactured using industrial-grade, powder-coated steel, the carrier delivers long-term durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable performance in wet, dusty, or chemically exposed environments. Despite its rugged construction, the frame remains lightweight, allowing repeated lifting without user fatigue.
The carrier’s custom-curved gripping arms conform to the geometry of standard cylinders, preventing rolling or lateral movement during transport. Its ergonomically placed handles ensure balanced weight distribution, enabling a single operator to carry heavy cylinders safely and comfortably. The open-frame design holds the specimen firmly while keeping both ends accessible for inspection or curing.
Engineered to support testing protocols aligned with ASTM C39 and IS 516, the AZA1160 ensures safe handling practices that contribute to accurate compressive strength testing.
