Crash Facilities

MESSRING offers consulting services, design and planning as well as manufacturing of turn-key crash-test facilities. Each of our facilities is customized to a wide extent in order to exactly fit the needs of our customers. We build crash-test facilities for sled tests and full scale tests as well as large facilities for angular offset car-to-car tests, even with movable impact blocks for barrier testing.

In order to serve our customers best and to minimize costs and construction time, we recommend involving MESSRING at an early stage of planning the project (typical time scale). Please feel free to contact us for more detailed Information.
