Bolt Custom Trucks is proud to engineer and build a custom crew cab conversion that has been certified to meet the full extent of The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) testing

parameters for emergency vehicles and transportation equipment.Does the equipment in your station, or the trucks on your dealer lots, meet the codes and standards

that state a fire truck must be able to endure a rollover accident where the structural cab must stay intact in order to protect the occupants? Specifically, the truck cab must be able to pass a series of roof crush simulation tests,

along with, a seat belt pull test performed on the occupant restraints of the five seated positions in the cab. Are you willing to put your fire and rescue personnel at risk riding in inferior trucks?

Crash Test Summary:The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has published over 300 consensus codes and standards intended to eliminate death and injuries related the hazards associated with preventing and fighting fires. NFPA Code 1901 defines standards for firefighting apparatus and more specifically NFPA 1901 section 14.3.2.1 defines that all vehicles and transportation equipment shall meet the quasi-static roof strength requirements of SAE J2422.

In order for a truck to demonstrate that it passes these very specific parameters, a destructive test must be performed by an accredited third party test facility under controlled conditions and the test results must be documented and catalogued. Finally, if the truck passes this roof crush test, then the cab’s occupant restraints must still be subjected to a seat belt pull test to verify that the occupant restraints are manufactured and secured in such a way that the occupants will be thoroughly restrained with neither the occupants nor seats having an opportunity to become dislodged.

The full extent of these tests was performed by the CAPE testing facility, Center for Advanced

Product Evaluation - a division of IMMI. Tests were performed in various stages from November 2 to December 1, 2016 with the full results compiled and published over the succeeding 30 days. Bolt will make full testing results available for customer review upon request.

For the test, Bolt converted a Kenworth day cab truck to a four door crew cab with a 52" extension and sufficient structural support added in the cab’s roof, as well as the A, B and C roof pillars in order for the truck to pass this roof crush test.

Bolt builds crew cab conversions on Kenworth and Peterbilt cabs. For more information or a complete copy of the test results, contact us at 260.748.0314.

Summary: Meets Criteria

Is the load application angle 0 degrees +/- 5 degrees for FMVSS 207 and angle 10 degrees +/- 5 degrees for FMVSS 210? YES

Are the required FMVSS207 and FMVSS 210 loads attained? YES

Is the pull force maintained for 10 seconds? YES

Are the customer required target loads of 100% of FMVSS 207 and FMVSS 210 attained? YES

Is the pull force maintained for 10 seconds? YES

Test Notes:

Time to Apply Pull Force is the time to reach the required Pull Force.Pull Force averaged over a 11 second time frame if minimum time achieved, otherwise Pull Force listed are peak values.Time to Maintain Pull Force is the longest continuous time above the required pull force. (includes data spikes due to seat deflection and deformation) Required pull force follows NHTSA FMVSS 210 Test Procedure lower load limit of -50 lbs of standard's specified maximum value.
