L.A.B. Equipment Inc.

L.A.B. Equipment, Inc., was established in 1933 and has been recognized for decades as the global leader in the design, manufacturing, and service of product reliability and package testing equipment. This includes drop testers, shock testers, hydraulic vibration, mechanical vibration, incline impact testers; and through our sister company, Techlab Systems, compression testers. All of our equipment meets a large variety of testing standards including ISTA, ASTM, ISO, TAPPI, and MIL-STD, to name a few. We are a team-based organization committed to manufacturing quality products on a consistent basis while maintaining a work ethic and attitude directed towards continuous improvement.

L.A.B.’s HV Hydraulic Vibration Test Systems help you design high quality, cost-effective products and shipping containers by accurately measuring sensitivity to vibration. HV Systems are specifically designed to meet a wide range of ASTM, DOT, ISTA, ISO and federal standards for vibration testing. HV Systems are ideal for a wide spectrum of testing applications ranging from sine sweep tests to the most complex data real time simulation, or random reproduction applications.

L.A.B. Transportation Simulators are used to determine the ability of packages and products to withstand shocks and vibrations encountered during in-plant handling and warehousing, shipping and distribution warehousing. Our transportation simulators use three methods of motion; rotary or circular synchronous motion, non-synchronous motion, and vertical linear motion to deliver the precise results you expect.
