• A test track for fork-lift trucks has been installed by Lancer Boss Ltd at its Leighton Buzzard premises. It is to be used to prove performance and reliability of prototype and production models.
The machines are subjected to an accelerated 200-hour endurance programme equal to two years of industrial operation. The test circuit includes an area which can be adapted to simulate rail track and other similar obstacles, two 1 in 10 gradients, unmade surface areas and a tilt table to test stability.
It will be used to effect quality control as well as proving new designs.
