EXTREME TESTING = REAL WORLD RELIABILITY
  • FEA (Analytical stress & strain analyses) performed on all HoodXpress components.
    This is done to ensure that you never run into stress related failures down the road.
  • Full kinematics models ran on each individual application.
    Ensures that the unit is always located in the optimum position for best operation.
  • Electronic data (C.A.D. models) used for fit / tolerance checks.
    There's no guessing if it will fit your application.
  • Key life cycle hood testing performed simulating 10 years durability @ twice / day usage.
    This baby's designed to last !
  • Key life cycle hood testing performed with snow load (50 lb. weight bolted to hood).
    And it'll last in the cold too !!
  • Key Fob durability testing.
  • Environmental chamber testing:
    - High temperature testing (@ 100°C)
    - Low temperature testing (@ -30°C)
    - Thermal shock testing (hot - cold cycles)
  • Vehicle vibration measurement and testing.
    Because not all roads travelled are smooth !
  • Severe grade operation tests.
    Because not all lots are smooth either !
  • Extensive Over the road fleet testing.
    Because we know the real world tells the real story !
    HoodXpress units have been running fleet since July 2005 without incident.
