DROP TEST
Units were loaded with weights (see list below) and dropped at different angles from a 6’-10” platform onto a concrete surface. Cases maintained their watertight integrity and remained closed. A small percentage (<10%) sustained broken tall rib. Tests were successful.
UNIT | WEIGHT |
120 | 2.0 lbs |
300 | 4.9 lbs |
520 | 15.7 lbs |
710 | 20.0 lbs |
720 | 35.0 lbs |
WATERTIGHT INTEGRITY TEST
MIL-STD 810F 512.4 and Ingress Protection Codes 67.
IMPACT TEST
This test was performed by dropping a 4.5 lb cylindrical piece of steel onto the centre of the top and then onto the bottom of each case from a height of 6’. The test was performed three times on each surface. No material failure or cracks were found.
HANDLE TEST
Repetitive Impact Test
15 lbs of weight was added to each case. Cases were then hung by their handle and given “jolt” tests. Every 6 seconds, for 48 hours the cycle machine lifted and dropped each case. Neither the handle, the handle pin nor the case itself showed any signs of stress.
Weight Test
Cases were loaded with 75 lbs of steel, and hung by their handle for 60 hours. No stress marks were found in handle, pin, latches, hinges or any component of the case.
UV COLOUR AND MATERIAL PROTECTION
All materials used in the manufacture of our cases are UV resistant and UV stabilized.
