UGT performed some extreme testing in the field by placing a 325 Series Excavator on a chimney assembly. The Excavator weighed 67,000 lbs. The following pictures describe the test. | |

| The load on the chimney was 33,000 lbs. with no measurable deformation present. The next test in the field was to perform the same test with a Komatsu excavator that weighed 122,000 lbs. The chimney compressed about 1.5” on the edge but returned to its overall height the following day. | ||
