Strength reinforced by mounting Horton's dynamic testing has shown the standard .33" center bolt in OEM mounting pucks to shear in accidental forces greater than 10Gs (roughly a 15 mph collision). In some cases, this can actually cause the module to separate from the frame rails. As a result, Horton developed a stronger and more reliable mounting system — VI -Tech. The VI -Tech mounting system uses three failsafe flanges, two elastomer isolators and a .75" center bolt, tested and proven to retain mounting in 35G impact crashes. As an added benefit, VI- Tech improves ride quality with reduced noise and a smoother ride. Third -party validation 7 At Horton, we believe the best way to conduct testing is through third -party facilities. While some might find in -house testing to be more economically reasonable, there are several distinct advantages to using a third party for testing. These include: • Unbiased assessment of quality and assembly • Independent perspective in testing process • Professionals that specialize in the area of testing • More accurate reporting and results Horton uses several third -party testing companies with differing specialties including CTL Engineering, Transportation Research Center Inc., IMMI CAPE® (the Center for Advanced Product Evaluation), Progressive Engineering Inc. and Bosch Testing Facility. And testing isn't limited just to safety. All features introduced as Horton standards have been tested and proven to stand up in performance, durability and reliability. _1�: I� I �I In the comparison of ambulance features, testing results are the voice of reason. Horton continues to outperform all other products available on the market and we have the results to prove it.
