Tosca Travelgoods luggage is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of real-world travel through a blend of advanced materials and meticulous construction. To ensure every piece can withstand the journey, our products undergo a variety of stringent tests, including lift-and-drop, stability, and puncture assessments.
Telescopic Handle Jerk Test
To simulate the stresses of real-world travel, our luggage undergoes a rigorous lift-and-drop test. Each carry-on is loaded with 15 kg, while larger check-in bags hold 20 kg. The bag is suspended by its telescopic handle, lifted, and then released to free fall a set distance. The handle is then abruptly stopped, simulating the harsh impacts of travel. This demanding cycle is repeated a minimum of 3,500 times to ensure the handle and its housing
Handle Jerk Test
The luggage undergoes a drop test. It is weighted with 15 kg (carry-on) or 20 kg (checked). The bag is then lifted by the top and side handles, dropped, and suddenly stopped by the telescopic handle after falling a set distance. This sequence is performed 3,500 times.
Tumble Test
The tumble test protocol involves two stages. First, the luggage is stored in a -12°C environment for four hours to simulate cold-weather conditions. Following this thermal conditioning, it is loaded with a mass of 15 kg (carry-ons) or 20 kg (checked bags). The loaded luggage is then subjected to 50 cycles of tumbling inside a rotating chamber, with obstacles present, at a rotational speed of 3 revolutions per minute.
Treadmill Test
The treadmill test simulates the long-term durability of luggage wheels and handles. A bag is loaded with up to 27 kg and rolled for 32 km on a bumpy treadmill at 4 km/hr. This process mimics a user pulling the bag over uneven surfaces like cracked pavement, assessing how the wheels and telescopic handle withstand sustained stress.
Drop Test
This drop test is designed to evaluate the luggage's ability to withstand the harsh handling of travel. Before the test, the bag is stored at -12°C for four hours to simulate the cold temperatures of an airplane's cargo hold. It is then loaded with 15 kg or 20 kg and dropped multiple times from varying heights (90 cm, 60 cm, and 60 cm). Each drop is intentionally configured to land on a different number of wheels (four, two, then one), simulating the kind of accidental drops and impacts that can damage the wheel assembly and the bag's frame.
