Rent Portable Shaker for Plant Shutdowns (TAR)

Test Machinery Protection Systems


Maintenance Turnarounds or Shutdowns are necessary and have many benefits that can only occur if the plant is temporarily shut down. Even though they render a plant nonoperational for a duration of time; which means loss of production and revenue; they are an important investment in the plant’s future. Turnarounds are also important because they are often mandated by various regulatory bodies. This is required with the goal of preventing accident, Improving safety of employees and contractors, and protecting the environment from any incidents or disasters. In addition to regulations which might require the plant to have a turnaround periodically, they’re also necessary to meet the warranty requirements on various pieces of expensive equipment.

Some plants only test once or twice per year during scheduled outages. Our rental program gives them the benefits of increased safety, uptime and confidence without requiring a capital expenditure. NIST traceable Portable Vibration Calibrators can be rented for as little as one week and include a calibration certificate. Rental spending can be credited to future purchases should the need arise.

Why The Modal Shop?

The Modal Shop is a sister company to the Industrial Monitoring Instrumentation (IMI) division within the PCB group of companies now under MTS Sensors. IMI is the premier global source for vibration sensors in predictive maintenance and process monitoring. The historic PCB Group's roots trace back to the founding of PCB Piezotronics by brothers Bob and Jim Lally almost 50 years ago. Over the course of 25 years The Modal Shop, as part of the PCB Group and now as an MTS Sensors Corporation, has become the global leader in vibration calibration as both a solutions provider and source of knowledge/training/support. We are a small, blue-collar company in Cincinnati, Ohio and we believe:

  • The phone should be answered by a person
  • Our customer's questions are more important than internal meetings
  • In making field testing and calibration easy
  • Accuracy is important and should be validated by a 3rd party to global standards
  • Production quality cannot be compromised... ever
