How many other companies put their gear through as tough an R&D process as this?

Here at Adventure Kings we make sure that all of our equipment, goes through the toughest testing in the lab and the real world, to make sure it cuts the mustard when it comes down to crunch time on the tracks!

Our real-world testing involves, running over it, drowning it, and abusing it every day on the tracks, using it in the snow, the dusty deserts, blasting it with firetrucks. We try everything you can imagine to make sure you get the absolute best quality products, for some of the best pricing in Australia!

We also get all of our ratings independently certified by NATA accredited test labs, making sure that our gear is truly IP68 waterproof & dustproof, UPF50+ solar rated and up to AS/NZ standards for safety and quality assured!

LED Light Bars and LED Spotlights!

With a plethora of LED lightbars and LED Spotlights available on the Australian market it can be a bit confusing as to exactly what each rating means and what exactly you are paying for!

We make sure that we have taken our LED Light bars R&D to a whole new level, by getting our products independently tested for waterproofing power consumption and most importantly light throw and brightness!

With NATA Light testing done to not only tell us our overall Lumen output but both the spread patterns and overall range achieved by our LED Lights, our lights are definitely built right, with nothing but performance and bang for buck being the priority!

Not only do we test our lights for how bright they are, but we also have done plenty or R&D on how easy they are to install as well as how stable the lights are once they are installed. One of the most common failures of LED Lights is how stable their mounting points are, with Australian dirt roads being riddled with corrugations that will shake the fillings out of a meat pie!

Because of the vibrations all of our lights are tested to withstand vibrations to an extreme level!

RECOVERY GEAR TESTING

With the immense forces involved in a 4WD recovery, it is seriously important to check that your recovery gear is up to scratch, static strength testing gives us a good idea about just how much load a strap or shackle can take before it fails. We make sure that the Hercules recovery gear can not only take the strain when its needed most, but also that it will stand up to the rigours of regular 4WD recoveries on the tracks, no matter how punishing or slow your progress might be, making sure you always have the right gear for the job!

We tested it wrapped around a post to represent how it would perform in a real-world situation during a recovery. The results far exceeded typical loads you’d encounter in a recovery and  these straps passed the test with flying colours, earning the Hercules recovery kits some of the best ratings in the business-  that is not just tested, but tried in the field in real world recovery situations where not everything goes to plan!

We don’t just test our straps we also test our hardware for their breaking strengths out on the tracks!

Here’s some footage of our Hercules 4.75T rated bow shackle being tested at a NATA lab for recovery strength! They are so tough the test jig broke at high load before the shackle did.
