hellingstest
Hellingstest is a term used in engineering and safety disciplines to describe a test that evaluates performance on an inclined surface. The term combines the Dutch word helling, meaning incline or slope, with the English word test. In practice, a hellingstest involves subjecting a device, vehicle, or material sample to controlled tilt angles using a tilting platform or ramp while monitoring a defined response such as traction, stability margin, fracture threshold, or drainage behavior.
The procedure typically includes mounting the test item on a calibrated tilting mechanism, gradually increasing the
