The HM-2000A Master Loader has been designed to provide an

economical solution for labs faced with performing a variety of
different types of standard tests. The HM-2000A features seven
(7) pre-set speed selections for specific tests and a custom
button for future expansion. These pre-set speed settings and
the extensive set of test accessories available for use with the
HM-2000A make it one of the most cost-effective and versatile
load frames available.
Pre-set speeds include:
CBR/LBR, Hveem and Soil Cement (0.050"/1.27mm)

UC and UU for material having plasticity

1.4" (35.56mm) diameter sample (0.028"/0.71mm)
