Certified Crash Testing

Materialmix

Individual bott vario components have been designed from an intelligent mix of materials. Powder coated steel, anodised aluminium and high grade plastics - a combination that ensures the highest levels of safety and stability with minimal weight. This philosophy not only increases the payload, but offers the occupants improved protection. The lightweight construction helps retain precise road handling in critical situations and has a positive influence on fuel consumption.

When it comes to using your mobile workshop on site, bott understands what is important. High levels of build quality and surface finishing coupled with details such as the rounding of corners, protect against injury and enhance your safety at work.

The mix of materials used in bott vario combined with this high attention to detail result in a strikingly attractive design. The net effect is that you will leave your clients with a positive first impression.

Crashtested to prove it

Does bott vehicle storage system absorb the dynamic energy? Does the secured 500 kg load of tools and equipment stay in place? Are the extreme forces successfully dissipated by the deformation of the bott designed components?

We checked and validated all of the lab based pavé, load and shear tests to confirm the bott solution would withstand such an extreme situation.

Realistic in every detail, a vehicle collision was simulated at a speed of 50 km/h. The vehicle was subjected to an acceleration of 20g over a period of 30 milliseconds, in accordance with ECE R44 guidelines.

The results were clear. The crash test has proven that both driver and passenger can rely on bott vehicle storage systems.
