Most equipment brands will tell you their products are built to last. Very few will show you what happens when the engineering is pushed to its absolute limit before a single unit reaches a gym floor. Fewer still will do it twice.
This is the second time we chose to suspended a car from a SlideLock collar system. The first test was conducted years ago, to establish where the limits of the SlideLocks actually were. This one was conducted to up the ante, and it did not disappoint.
With the SlideLock now holding patents in 20+ countries, entering commercial use in 2020 across boutique facilities, large chains, and franchise networks on multiple continents, the track record gives us a sense of growing confidence. Backed by a series of pressure tests going up to 15,000 kg of vertical pressure.
That track record is what makes the lifetime warranty on Gungnir Olympic bars a straightforward commitment rather than a gesture. When you have five years of uninterrupted field performance and a test library that includes hanging a car from the system on two separate occasions, standing behind the product is not a difficult decision.
