Van Racking Crash Testing
Employers and business owners have duty of care to ensure that equipment installed within a van is safe and will not endanger the occupants. Autorack's racking is designed to be robust for professional use and is crash tested to UNECE regulation 17.08. For our Van Racking, we commissioned the Servo Sled Laboratory at Millbrook Proving Ground to conduct a ‘Duty of Care’ dynamic sled test of a goods racking system mounted to a test rig. The rig was manufactured by Millbrook Proving Ground to simulate a van body.
The dynamic test was conducted to verify the integrity of racking drawers, compartments and loading shelves and their respective anchorages to the test
rig when fully loaded with the maximum masses as per our specifications.
