Following our Insulation test, where we put our claims that PUR insulation provides better insulation, to the test we decided to also test how well the containers would endure some manipulation.
We have always claimed that the PE insulated containers are stronger than the PUR insulated ones. It’s true that they can tolerate more load and so you can stack more containers on top of each other. But we also wanted to see if there was a difference between the two different insulations if we banged them up a bit. Once the insulation test was over we took the two tubs outside to our lot. They still had all the water and ice inside. We tried driving our forklift full speed into the containers, we tried dropping them with water and ice inside from a height and we also tried smashing them with the forks of the forklift.
The forklift was not able to puncture the walls during the crash test. Both containers passed the test with flying colors. We then dropped both containers from a height and both containers landed on the corner handle. The handle did not break and there was no crack in the walls of either container. We then tried smashing them with our forklift to see if the walls would bend or break. Neither container had any trouble passing this test and the wheels of the forklift were lifted off the ground instead of the walls bending or breaking.
The results can be seen in the video below. The model used for all the tests was model 660, our most popular container. To learn more about our range of containers please click this link.
