MILEAGE TEST
It assesses the resistance of trolley system and attachment points, simulating the use at full load while traveling. The trolley case travels up to 64 km on the treadmill at about 6 km per hour (average walking speed), encountering small obstacles that reproduce the effect of rough ground.
TUMBLE TEST
The purpose is to verify the structural integrity of the baggage, subjected to a severe handling that simulates the air trip of a checked-in suitcase. The product is filled, closed and conditioned for 4 hours in the freezer at -12 ° C (to simulate the low temperature in the aircraft hold). Then it is subjected to 50 fall cycle in the drum.
HANDLE JERK
The aim of the test is checking strength and resistance of handles used to lift or carry the product. According to its size, the trolley case is loaded with 25 Kg, 18 Kg or 14 Kg, then attached to the jerk tester’s j-hook. The trolley is subjected to stress 3,500 times, to simulate the strongest tugs that the product undergoes during use.
