— <br />Horton <br />Static Load Test — Side <br />EMERGENCY VEHICLES <br />Attachment 2 <br />a <br />Testing <br />Dare to Compare <br />Seeking to improve safety, the ambulance industry is constantly introducing new technology. <br />But without extensive testing, can companies really stand by their product? Many <br />manufacturers lead end -users to a false sense of security by offering unverified solutions. <br />As the only ambulance manufacturer independently and <br />repeatedly testing since 1974, Horton continues to lead the <br />industry. Unsatisfied by simply "getting by" on testing, <br />Horton exceeds all KKK, NFPA and AMD standards, by as <br />much as 400 %. <br />Take, for example, AMD standard 001 — the static load roof <br />test. All manufacturers are required to administer the test <br />and most exceed the standard. Horton not only exceeds <br />the standard, Horton exceeds the competition with a <br />verified performance of up to 90,000 pounds of force. <br />Taking the extra step for more accurate testing, we perform <br />our static load test with a 10 -point mounting system to the <br />test body floor. Some competitors complete their static load <br />test on steel beams for full -body support. Horton's test <br />more accurately represents authentic mounting to a chassis <br />frame, giving the consumer results that are based on real - <br />life scenarios, not a modified testing environment. <br />hortonambu lance. com info @hortonambulance.com <br />Test <br />Static Load Test — Roof <br />Horton <br />90,000 lbs.* <br />Static Load Test — Side <br />44,000 lbs. <br />Side Body Impact <br />35G of force <br />Squad Bench Test <br />19,500 lbs. <br />Attendant Seat Test <br />9,250 lbs. <br />CPR Seat Test <br />7,000 lbs. <br />Cabinet Structure Test <br />145,874 lbs. ** <br />Head of Bench Test <br />145,874 lbs. ** <br />Liter Retention Test <br />12,500 lbs. <br />*On 10 -point mounting system <br />* *Based on side crash test with 35G of force <br />800.282.5113 <br />
