The GESTER GT-KB48 is designed to scientifically test footwear slip resistance. Its primary function is to measure the dynamic coefficient of friction (COF) between a shoe sole and walkway surfaces (e.g., wood, PVC, tile) under lubricated conditions. The shoe slip resistance tester applies a set load and moves the test surface horizontally against a fixed specimen, quantifying kinetic friction force. This enables objective judgment of slip resistance, ensuring compliance with international standards like ISO 13287, ASTM F2913, and SATRA TM144, thereby helping prevent accidents.
The GESTER Shoe Flex Tester GT-KA01-2 is an industrial-grade footwear testing apparatus designed to evaluate the flexing endurance and crack resistance of finished shoes (sports, casual, and safety footwear) under controlled dynamic fatigue. Fully compliant with SATRA TM92, ISO 24266, and HG/T 2871, this tester features an acrylic noise-reduction safety cover, low-friction linear slide heel fixtures, and intelligent touch-screen control. Available in 2-station and 4-station configurations to meet diverse laboratory throughput requirements.
GT-KA04A athletic footwear shock attenuating tester designed by GESTER. comply with the ASTM F1614 standard, it evaluates the cushioning and impact resistance of athletic shoes and shoe materials. Equipped with a high-precision 10KN load cell and a 1000Hz high-speed data acquisition system, the tester delivers real-time force-displacement curves and automated energy loss analysis.
The GESTER GT-KB42 Footwear Electric Shock Resistant Tester is a high-precision PPE testing instrument engineered to determine the dielectric properties, leakage current, and voltage withstand capability of electrical insulation safety shoes. Built for specialized safety footwear laboratories, it complies strictly with global PPE protective standards including ASTM F2412, ISO 20345, ANSI-Z41, CSA-Z195, and AS/NZS 2210.2. Featuring an automated high-voltage adjustment system (up to 30KV AC), the machine accurately captures transient insulation breakdown thresholds under specific load frequencies. It serves as an essential compliance tool for protective footwear manufacturers and third-party safety inspection labs to guarantee line-worker electrical safety.
GESTER is an professional PPE testing equipment manufacturer specializing in high-energy protective impact systems. The GT-KB17 Safety Shoes Impact Tester serves as an industry-standard laboratory solution designed to accurately measure the impact resistance of protective toe caps and metatarsal steel components. It bridges the technical testing requirements between EN ISO and ASTM methodologies within a single, modular hardware architecture.
The GESTER GT-KC21-1 Water Vapor Permeability Tester is a high-precision lab testing instrument engineered to evaluate the breathability and moisture vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of footwear vamp materials, upper leathers, linings, and coated fabrics. Operating in a standard conditioning room (23 ± 2℃, 50 ± 5% RH), the GT-KC21-1 simulates real-world wear conditions to ensure footwear materials allow sweat evaporation while maintaining structural integrity. Equipped with 6 testing stations and a touch-screen control system, it provides reliable, repeatable data for footwear manufacturers, R&D labs, and third-party testing institutions.
The GESTER GT-KB12A Compression and Puncture Tester is engineered to evaluate the protective performance of safety footwear. Specifically designed for universal safety compliance, it measures both the compression resistance of protective toe caps (steel or composite) and the puncture penetration resistance of protective sole insoles/plates. Featuring a maximum force capacity of 30 KN with high-precision strain gauge sensors (≤+/-0.2%FS), the GT-KB12A ensures safety shoes satisfy stringent global PPE regulations, including ISO 20344, ISO 20345, EN 12568, and ASTM F2412/F2413.
The GESTER GT-KB06 EN Sole Flexing Tester (Bennewart Flex Tester) is a high-precision lab apparatus designed to measure the flexing resistance and cut growth/crack initiation of shoe soles under continuous cyclic bending. Engineered for compliance with international safety and quality standards including ISO 20344, ISO 17707, DIN 53543, SATRA TM161, it offers multi-station testing (3 or 6 test positions) with touch-screen controls, precise 90° bending angles, and adjustable flex speeds (125–150 cpm). Ideal for shoe manufacturers, quality control labs, and third-party testing agencies evaluating safety footwear and athletic shoe durability.
