Frequently Asked Questions
What products does Playground Inspector sell?
Who buys your equipment?
What is Gmax testing equipment used for?
Gmax testing measures how well a playground surface absorbs impact during a fall. Our devices help inspectors determine whether surfacing meets safety thresholds for head injury prevention.
Are your products calibrated and standards-aligned?
Yes. All equipment is calibrated and aligned with CSA Z614 and ASTM testing protocols. We also provide guidance on calibration schedules and maintenance.
Can you help me choose the right equipment?
Absolutely. Our team has 10+ years of hands-on inspection experience. Tell us about your operation and we'll recommend the right products for your scope and budget.
Will I receive documentation with my purchase?
Yes. Every product ships with calibration records, user documentation, and support resources.
What happens after the testing is complete?
You receive a professional report with findings and recommendations so you can plan next steps with confidence.
What is a TRIAX system?
A TRIAX (triaxial) head form system is the industry-standard tool for measuring impact attenuation on playground surfaces. It records HIC (Head Injury Criterion) and Gmax values during controlled drop tests.
Do you ship across Canada?
Yes. We supply inspectors and organizations in every province, from British Columbia to the Atlantic.
