Drop Testing

Drop testing will determine your container’s ability to retain and protect its contents after a free fall. It simulates the rigors associated with manual or mechanical handling at loading and unloading points.

Environment Associates will perform repeatable drop tests on your package’s flat surfaces, corners, and edges, with or without rotation of the package. EA can accommodate individual, packaged products and palletized loads weighing up to and exceeding 150 lbs. (68 kg).

Using accelerometers and computer-aided testing software, we can measure the acceleration levels experienced anywhere on the package. This technology allows us to determine if product cushioning is required or if existing cushioning is sufficient.
