The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Validation Engineering Division (SJ MAC-DEV) conducted MIL-STD-1 660, "Design Criteria for Ammunition Unit Loads" on the SURE-LOK, Style II, 40" x 48", Container manufactured by Action Wood Technologies, Inc., from Clinton Township, Michigan. Two containers were tested. The containers wereCorp Source loaded and passed with a load of 4,080 lbs and 4,075 lbs, respectively. The tests accomplished on the test units were the stacking, vibration, edgewise rotational drop, incline impact, sling compatibility, forklift handling, pallet truck, and disassembly tests.
