We have facilities to test the strength of structures used in a variety of industrial applications. Some of the markets we serve include:

• Off-Road Agricultural Vehicles 

• Off-Road Construction Vehicles 

• Forestry Equipment 

• Earth-Moving Vehicles 

• Turf-Care Vehicles – Mowers and Utility Vehicles 

• Over-The-Road Trucking 

We specialize in testing and certifying structures such as:

Our testing facility measures 20’ wide X 20’deep X 12’ high and temperature-controlled down to -10°F and can test vehicles with weights up to 50,000 pounds. We test falling object protective structures with a variety of drop test objects such as a 100-pound sphere, 500-pound cylinder, or bundled materials in excess of 2,000 pounds. 

We can configure our test facilities to accommodate a variety of test object sizes, shapes, and weights. We can design and build test fixtures to meet any need.  

If you need to certify the strength of a structure, validate finite element analysis, or do comparative testing, we have the facilities and know-how to meet your needs. 

ROPS Test Chamber 

Full Vision is equipped to perform static testing to verify the strength of structures used in a variety of industrial applications. Examples of markets we serve include mobile off-road vehicles used in agricultural, construction, forestry, earthmoving, and turf-care; as well as over-the-road trucking. We specialize in testing certified structures such as roll-over protection (ROPS), falling object protection (FOPS), seatbelt anchorages, and underride guards to applicable international, governmental, and industry standards (SAE/OSHA/ASAE/ISO/OECD/DOT).  

Our testing facility measures 20’ wide X 20’deep X 12’ high and can be temperature controlled down to -18°C. Roll-over protective structures can be tested to a maximum vehicle weight of 50,000 pounds. Falling object protective structures can be tested with a variety of drop test objects such as a 100-pound sphere, 500-pound cylinder, or bundled materials in excess of 2,000 pounds.  

The test facility can be configured to accommodate a wide variety of test object sizes, shapes, and weights. We can design and build test fixtures to meet any need.
