Transport Tests

Transport tests are a key tool for verifying the resistance of products and packaging during transport. On the way to the end customer, products are exposed to vibration, shocks, changes in temperature, humidity and impacts, which can lead to their damage. By simulating these conditions in a laboratory environment, weak points can be identified in advance and it can be ensured that the product arrives in perfect condition, even after long and demanding transport. Transport tests thus help manufacturers and distributors to reduce the risk of complaints and to increase the reliability of the supply chain.

Vibration tests

In transport vibration tests we simulate the loading that arises during transport by road, rail, sea or air. Shocks and vibrations are transmitted to the product over a long period and can cause the gradual loosening of joints, cracks or deformations. We carry out the tests using sinusoidal oscillations, random vibrations and combined profiles that correspond to real transport conditions. This makes it possible to accurately evaluate the service life of the product and its packaging and to reveal structural weaknesses before they fail in practice.

Climatic tests

During transport and storage, products often face changing climatic conditions – from freezing temperatures through tropical humidity to sharp alternation of day and night. Climatic transport tests therefore verify the resistance of materials to extreme temperatures, humidity, condensation and temperature cycles. These tests are essential especially for electronics, plastic components or sensitive surface finishes, where degradation, cracking or loss of functionality can occur. In this way we verify not only the product itself but also the quality of its packaging, which must protect the product throughout the entire logistics chain.

Drop tests

Handling during loading, unloading or storage is among the riskiest phases of transport. Drop tests therefore evaluate the resistance of the packaging and the product to the impacts that can occur when falling from a pallet, a conveyor or during manual handling. We carry out the tests from various heights and angles of impact in order to cover the most common real-life situations. The result is verification of whether the packaging sufficiently absorbs impacts and protects the product even during rough handling.

Mechanical tests

In addition to vibration and drops, during transport the product is subject to other mechanical influences – for example compression when stacking pallets, impacts when moving in containers or deformation under long-term loading. Mechanical transport tests therefore include pressure tests, compression tests, vibration shocks and other simulations. These tests help to assess the overall robustness of the packaging and the product and to ensure that it retains its functionality and appearance even under extreme loading during transport.

We'll be happy to advise you.

What our laboratory offers

We carry out transport tests to verify the resistance of products and packaging during transport. Climatic tests, Mechanical tests, Vibration tests and Drop tests.

MIL-STD 810 standard

The vibration test of military products, e.g. a shooting simulator from Bagira Systems CZ, we carry out in accordance with the MIL-STD 810 standard according to selected categories: Method 514, Method 516.

ASTM D4169 standard

To evaluate transport units, we can use our universal testing machines to simulate stacking, known as vehicle stacking.

„The testing chamber, and the staff's approach and willingness beyond requirements — I can only recommend them.“

Tomáš Matús Google review

„JD Dvořák — a company where the impossible does not exist and where it is not only about work. I am glad to have the honour of working with JD Dvořák.“

Libor Pala TRL Space Systems s.r.o.

„We have worked with JD Dvořák for a long time in testing, the rental of climatic chambers, and the service and calibration of our equipment. We value the helpfulness and professionalism of the department heads and technicians we are in regular contact with during tests and the work carried out. Our technicians also make use of training in various areas of testing, which provides both an expansion of theoretical knowledge and practical demonstrations.“

Jiri Turek Google review

„What I greatly appreciate is the personal approach to solving every problem. Whether it concerned specific testing requirements or the need for individual consultation, I was always met with willingness and expert help that led to a smooth and efficient collaboration. For me, JD Dvořák is not only a professional company, but also an excellent partner in research and education.“

Ing. Veronika Steinerová Kloknerův ústav, ČVUT LinkedIn

„We have worked with JD Dvořák since 2020. Since then we have completed several installations together, and throughout they have provided service and the necessary calibrations, always at the highest professional level. They have also helped us with our special requirements and we can always rely on them. Their approach is not only professional and customer-oriented, but also very human, and the cooperation is always pleasant.“
