b'HarkenLabWithout data, how can you be certain what your design will deliver? For years Harken has been investing in increased product testing capabilities of the HarkenLab facilities in our factories in Pewaukee and Italy. They are evidence of an increasing commitment to documenting performance. We test design concepts even before we know they are commercially viablejust to learn. We test to be sure production products live up to our promises. We examine our tooling to make sure tolerances meet expectations. We test both our Marine and our Safety & Rescue products. Some of these products will later be further tested by independent bodies, but well before that, HarkenLab will overstress them first, just to help assure we pass those final tests. We have pull-tested hydraulics to 172,000 lbs on a test frame built to withstand 250,000 lbs. Indeed, we do not ship any hydraulic product until we have tested it to its maximum working load. Our winch test apparatus has pulled to 220,000 lbs. Testing and learning are part of being At The Front for our customers. Our facilities are prepared to test at loads beyond anything yet requested. We welcome the next challenge.18'
