Official test by the Danish Technological Institute
Engineers from the Furniture Laboratory at the independent Danish Technological Institute have been testing the Double Trolley thoroughly to prove that the stool meets the requirements of heavy daily use.
A simulation test proved that the Double Trolley has no problems withstanding a 95 kg/209 lbs. load set and reset 50,000 times! (picture left)
The Double Trolley can easily carry 130 kg/286 lbs. (!), which means that even the biggest bass players can sit safely on the stool... |

The Strength and Durability Test: |
- Static load Test
10 repetitions with a 10 second duration loaded with the following:
- Seat: 1300N (130 kg/286 lbs.) vertically downward
- Legs: 39 N (39 kg/86 lbs.), sideways against the edge of the seat.
- Durability Test
Seat loaded 50,000 times with 950 N (95 kg/ 209 lbs.).
- Seat Impact Test
An impact weight of 25 kg/55 lbs. falls to the seat 10 times from 180 mm/7 in. height.
- Drop test
The stool was dropped 10 times from 600 mm/23 in. above the floor on one front leg and 10 times on the rear leg. When the chair is dropped, it has an angle of 10 degrees in relation to the floor.

Since getting my Double Trolley I can get around with my bass much more independently. All my friends think it's really cool and the seat is really comfy too.
