Good apart from the shower 

[Alex Gardiner]

Very impressive. Well done Brodex. My only concern is the flying tank lid which could easily decapitate someone.

[Window Washers]

have to say i am impressed with Brodex site, and that is a kick in ionics USP
now they need to launch their hot system

A skid mounted unit going in reverse at what appears to be about 3mph, then you see the tank lid flying off whilst the skid is still moving and hasnt hit anything -

are you seeing something different?

thats after hitting the stops going head on at unknown speed.
They do need a lot more info abot the crash test but for a start off vid it is closing ionics crash test usp they just need more details about it IMO

[Glyn H]

If it stoped because it crashed into something the front vehicle frame would have buckled which the video doesnt show at all.
Their are no marker stickers to show the distortion on impact and no footage of it hitting anything.

poleman how is the gutter cleaning with your sl2 poles and eastern vac?  are they still going strong? any problems?  much gutter work on?  is domestic work easier than commercial in gutter cleaning?

[jeff1]

I can see a skid test and after hitting the barrier the water momentum is still moving forwards when the vehicle is bouncing backwards as it would.... As its a frame test there won't be any marker stickers on the vehicle because its on a frame, wasn't this a first test of many? Just like Ionics did?

So the test is correct in my eye's but what caught my eye was the lack of a visible frame, so it does look like a good system and test to me

Cannot see them spending £20,000 + on a test

I think that it is going backwards because it has just hit the bump-stop and is on the rebound.

[D B Services]

I don't think it is a rebound.

I've looked closely and as it says on the annotations it is a reverse acceleration test.

One of my systems is a Brodex and I've never had any concerns about it's safety but what does concern me is that this is really just an advertising gimmick without quantifiable information such as speed on impact, load in tank. For all we know the test was carried out at 5 mph. I can see the point of the reverse acceleration test as it will simulate a rear end shunt but again no real info is supplied.

[tomy jackson]

yes its lacking in sumert

[Captain Scarlet]

I really have to say that was pathetic. Poor grammar and sentence structure, next to no information regarding the testing and to top it off a very very bad video that doesn't seem to instill any trust within me what so ever!

[matt]

oh deary me

we have been here before havent we

your crash test it better than mine, yours was fixed

brodex are dammed if they dont crach test, they run a series of crash test and they are still dammed

just have to hope that your not going about 30 mph eh  : : :

[Captain Scarlet]

Well if they were going to do it then they should have done it properly, or not at all.

[Alex Gardiner]

Having re-read the text next to the video (which is hard to do because you want to watch the video), there are several different tests in this composite video and the text tells you which clip you are watching.

I think that this is a perfectly legitimate test, it would just be nice to have some speed information to see how the great B v I fight will work out. 

[Glyn H]

Preliminary crash tests are usually caried out at 12MPH

[twt]

Are your systems crash tested glyn?

[Glyn H]

In the real World
YES head on at 50mph
want to see the photographs?
