Our TruMotion Load Stability Tester is taking center stage in Virginia Tech's latest article, shining a light on advancements in trucking safety standards. The Center for Packaging and Unit Load Design (CPULD) at Virginia Tech has recently acquired top-of-the-line unit load stability equipment, including Lansmont's TruMotion Load Stability Sled, solidifying its leadership in packaging education and research.
Eric Joneson, Lansmont's VP of Technology, underscores the company's dedication to supporting global research efforts. The TruMotion Load Stability Sled allows for the simulation of critical trucking events, empowering researchers to craft stable unit loads with precision. CPULD stands out as one of the few U.S. academic institutions equipped with such advanced capabilities.
With over half a million large truck accidents occurring annually in the U.S., the urgency for improved cargo stabilization is clear. CPULD, in collaboration with Lansmont, is spearheading the development of a new stability testing standard to bolster trucking safety.
The integration of the TruMotion equipment into Virginia Tech's educational curriculum provides students with hands-on experience in packaging design. Moreover, industry professionals can tap into this resource through CPULD, fostering collaboration between academia and industry to tackle packaging challenges head-on.
We're proud to contribute to Virginia Tech's mission of advancing packaging education and safety. The inclusion of the TruMotion Load Stability Tester underscores our commitment to innovation in the packaging industry. To learn more, check out the full article on Virginia Tech's website.
