Load Scissor Lift Trailer to Failure Point

and see what it does so the first trailer to get tested is the scissor lift hoist what we plan on doing is adding material to it until it refuses to lift then we're going to put it onto the scale disconnect it from the truck so we can get an accurate weight and determine exactly how much we put on it before it failed then we're going to test it against the dual lift system and last the telescopic hoist so we kept loading it until the hoist would no longer lift it it came in at twenty seven thousand two hundred pounds when we subtract the empty weight of the trailer out which was fifty seven hundred pounds that gives us 22 000 pounds roughly that this trailer was able to lift before it failed the intent here is i'm the warranty manager that's what i spend most of my day doing so we take in all of that information and the best way to make improvements is to study things when they're falling apart so find those weaknesses find those failure
