Ash Safety provides an independent test facility which can be used to qualify claims made for any product which activates upon fall. The test rig was developed initially to verify products that Ash Safety produces.
The facility can test from 50kgs to 3500kgs with video recording of the tests performed. Point loads are measured up to a maximum of 9500kgs with increments of 10kgs. We currently attach the item to be tested from an eye-bolt but have the facility to manufacture almost any connection type required.
We can confirm stopping distance, verified load and point loads.
The video shows testing of a load arrestor with a 400kg mass. It shows the initial point weight before activation and the final point load during activation. In this instance the stopping distance (not shown) was 286mm. This information is critical when deciding anchorage loadings and proving safety calculations.
The complete facility is now available for hire, along with experienced personnel, to test any product within the capabilities of the rig.
