Quality check

Every case is built to survive the belt, the kerb and the cargo hold. These are the test rigs, filmed at our factory.

Quality testing

Then we try to break it.

Cases from the line go on these rigs before they ship. We publish the test names here, and when the factory confirms the cycle counts, they go here too.

  1. 01 Wheel running test
  2. 02 Carry handle shock test
  3. 03 Telescopic handle cycling
  4. 04 Drop test

01 Wheels

Wheel running test

A loaded case runs on the test machine over a textured track, so we hear what the wheels do long before a pavement does.

02 Handle

Carry handle shock test

The case hangs from its top handle while the rig shakes it again and again, loading the handle and its mounts the way a baggage belt does.

03 Handle

Telescopic handle cycling

The rig extends and retracts the telescopic handle over and over, checking that it still locks and runs smoothly.

04 Shell

Drop test

The rig lifts the case and releases it onto the floor. Then we check the shell, the corners and the wheels.
