GROVE WHEEL TEST FIXTURE
We use this fixture to test our wheels for durability according to FAA TSO-26d which requires that the wheel and tire assembly be run under full rated static load for a distance of 1,000 miles. Pictured here is our 500x5 nose wheel which is rated for 1,280 lbs. It took over 5 days of continuous running to achieve the 1,000 mile distance.
