Roof & Side Crush Strength System

Dual-purpose system for rigorous roof crush and side intrusion testing, capable of high-load scenarios and compliant with NHTSA and IIHS requirements.

MGA has designed and assembled a new generation FMVSS 214/216 Side Intrusion and Roof Crush Test System that complies with the requirements set forth by the NHTSA and IIHS. This dual-purpose system is capable of performing testing in which loads may reach up to 50,000 lbs.

The complete package consists of a high strength test frame, roof-crush system, side-door intrusion system, a T-slot work surface, hydraulic unit, and applicable calibration/measurement devices. It also includes a user-friendly controller and data acquisition utilizing the latest hardware, combined with customized software written to specific test standards, to control the system.

In addition, test personnel can work with MGA Engineers who have extensive experience and knowledge in all aspects of these testing including criteria, data, requirements, and test procedures. MGA has been conducting FMVSS 216 and 214 testing for over 30 years.
