Weights

Hello Fellow Makers.

I am doing a load test on a device where i will be securing weights beneath the device to test a load capacity.
I am looking to load it up to around 100KG’s. I have a built a rig to secure the device and a loading platform but i am missing some weights i thought i had…
Does anyone know if there are any gym/compact weights in the space or snug that can be used for a single day?

Many thanks.

We have some weights, but that’s probably less then 30kg.

Alternatively we have scales and I am sure we can find some heavy objects as a substitute.

There are some weights in the woodshop I think @Ryanf?

EDIT: probably the same weights @Julia is talking about…

Yip, probably the same. There are a stack by the lathe, no idea of weight though. Can’t be much more than 10kgs.

We used to have lumps of lead that were very popular for gluing, I replaced them due to toxicity with with a a small pile of gym weights is about 15 kg there I think
