Structures (HST)

Built on half a century of excellence in research and development, PA Hilton’s Structures range is our flagship product suite. Offering superb functionality and value through quality, the HST range supports engineering faculties in higher education institutions around the globe.

Their superior quality and scale make them highly cost-efficient with more students able to access each session. A digital interface can enable full use of experiment software to enhance the learning experience.

The product portfolio delivers flexibility, value and future-proofing through its modular design. Faculties can extend the products with pertinent additions over time as technical developments and faculty requirements demand and budgets allow.

The range covers a comprehensive range of theories and topics within Architectural, Mechanical, Civil and Structural Engineering including force, bending, shear, elasticity, beams, arched bridges, suspension bridges, trusses, frameworks and portals.
