Field Evaluation Services, Inc. is the only private company offering a Bead Trailer, known as BB1-4K. This custom-designed gooseneck trailer was engineered without a suspension, ensuring that all road impacts are absorbed by the tire, effectively testing the bead and sidewall performance for PCR, LTR, SUV, and STR tires. The BB1-4K can be loaded with up to 4,000 lbs. per wheel position. It features CNC-machined steel bars, providing substantial weight with a low center of gravity. Additionally, STR tire tread wear and durability testing is available. Field Evaluation Services, Inc. offers trailers with load ranges from 5,000 to 14,000 lbs.
Low-speed high-scrub testing is conducted on a 16-acre VDA pad located in the heart of Palm Springs. Field Evaluation Services, Inc. developed this test procedure specifically for the development of new tires and retreads for spread axle and refuse applications.
Field Evaluation Services, Inc. has designed and constructed a mobile, height-adjustable curb specifically for impact and pothole simulation testing.
The TIMCA7 features a selectable top block with either rounded or a straight edge and can be adjusted up to seven inches in height. Tires are marked in 45° segments and numbered, with paint strips being used to indicate impact locations. High-speed video captures the impact, after which the tires undergo shearography. Tires are then sectioned as necessary for further analysis.
Field Evaluation Services, Inc has access to a variety of public and private use lands here in Southern California for off-highway vehicle and tire testing. Landscapes consist of red Rocky Mountains, rolling hills, open valley, dry lake beds, and sandy washes. However if you need a particular area in the US or Canada our Remote Support Units make it possible.
