Computer Controlled Versatile Rail Impact Testing

For the past several years CP-R engineers have been analyzing damages caused to shipping containers when "humping" occurs during rail transportation. We have discussed (with senior corporate packaging engineers) in detail the nature, extent and cost of such damages and have used this information to develop a state of the art testing machine to duplicate the forces can be subjected to when transported by rail.

In a few hours CP-R can validate your new container, rack dunnage and product design to insure a safe rail journey. Contact our test engineering staff to arrange a meeting and visit to see our transportation simulation facilities and learn how properly designed shipping containers can save your company time and money.
