Test stand for vehicles, vehicle components or the like

A test bench for operating load simulation for vehicle components, vehicles and the like (samples), at least one load system consisting provided from a stationary platform, a movable platform, and connecting these controllable operating cylinder, and wherein the movable platform is coupled to the test specimen and being transferred by driving the working cylinder by means of the movable platform forces and / or torques and / or paths to the device under test is to be developed such that a simple changeover to different center distances as well as an increase of the stroke in the vertical direction is possible at the same height. This is achieved in that the movable platform is designed as a fixture for the test specimen.
