The results of a great collaborative research project between Dr. Laszlo Horvath and Peter Borocz was recently published in ASTM Journal of Testing and Evaluations. The paper presented a potential testing profile that can be used to simulate the vibration environment when unit loads are transported with industrial forklifts.

Jorge Masis' research article from his thesis was published in Applied Sciences. The research project focused on investigating the variables that affect the level of horizontal shock impacts that forklifts exert on pallets. The results will help us improve the durability simulations in different pallet testing standards.
