Lower Supporting Cradle is a unique design that allows it to be attached to the base of a Gilson MS-36 or MS-38 Lottman Breaking Head for determining the resistance to rutting (rutting tolerance) at high temperatures of asphalt mixtures. The cradle easily fits onto the Lottman Breaking Head by removing the lower loading strip and replacing it with the lower supporting cradle using the same bolts. Accommodates a 150mm dia. Superpave Gyratory, Marshall, or field core specimen.

Product Q&A

Q: How are longer specimens extracted and the piston returned?

Specimens longer than 5in are extracted by repositioning the Adapter Ring after maximum piston travel, and the spring-loaded piston automatically returns to the start position when the release valve is opened.
