Chariot Safety & Testing - Think Peace of Mind

When you purchase a Chariot Carrier, you’re buying a product that has undergone years of internal and field testing – and retesting. Just some of the tests conducted on each Chariot model are: side and rear impact, nose drop, suspension, hitch, tip over, and long-term durability on a very rough simulated road (see right).

In addition to complying with applicable safety standards, Chariot products must pass our own significantly more stringent internal standards. By integrating product design, testing and production under one roof, Chariot raises the bar in product safety and excellence. And, independent international test results with Chariot products have further verified this quality.

Below are images from multiple crash tests on Chariot Cheetahs by the German Institute for Traffic, BAST, which is an organization equivalent to the US government’s NHTSA.

An example of a durability test that Chariot conducts takes place on a large rotating drum. The carrier is loaded with test dummies and cargo exceeding the recommended maximum weight limit. The trailer is punished for more than 80,000 impacts over a 7/8 inch / 22 mm high bump, at varying speeds. This is just one of a number of endurance tests that a Chariot product must be capable of enduring!
