Side & Rear Impact Cart
Versatile impact cart designed for various crash test configurations, featuring adjustable components and compatibility with multiple barrier types and instrumentation systems.
MGA Research Corporation, a world leader in safety test equipment solutions, offers a variety of impact carts which are designed to the specific standards set by the NHTSA, other agencies, or customer specific needs.
Carts can be dedicated to impact modes or have the flexibility to be used in different configurations (side and rear impact).
The impact carts are fabricated with standard mounting holes for common barrier faces, yet still maintain the ability to mount other fixtures or test articles. MGA has been conducting testing with these cart designs for many years and continues to find new uses for this impact technology.
