Crash tests
We conduct multiple crash tests at different speeds and weights to see how the racks and cargo carrier protects its contents and the vehicle from damage.
Wear and tear simulations
Specialized tests that are used to evaluate the cargo carriers over time, to assess their durability and long-term performance.
Exposure tests
To evaluate the performance of cargo carriers under conditions that might be encountered during use, we expose them to extreme heat, cold, damp, sunlight and chemicals.
