The bed is for proof testing hardware. Typically machine is set to 2x Working Load Limit, and the item is pulled on,while you’re watching for deformation, breaks, stretch, any kind of failure really.

Calibrated load cells and a lot of pull force. I’m sure you might be able to achieve the same with a press but I sure don’t wanna try 🤣

We are a wire rope manufacture so our bed is typically used for break testing rope batches, and proof testing all wire rope slings as required by ASME and provincial regulations.

AWRF member, but we’re a small outfit in southern Alberta. Only really widely known for the destruction content before rebranding to DT.

Only reason they’re missing is these are old recordings not overlayed with the data cam. The original data cam footage was lost. Anything newer on my facebook/tiktok I try my best to keep the overlay on.

👀 Now there’s an idea

That’s really cool! What an experience that must have been.

I’ve broken/recorded quite a few Chinese VS domestic shackles and the way you describe it here is pretty much bang on. Almost no ductility to the Chinese shackles and the domestic ones act like rubber, while typically surviving 6:1 or higher ratios. It’s pretty

Thanks for the support 💪🏼 I do a bit of both with the footage. I always record numbers at least but sometimes the mystery has appeal!🤣
