Non-Instrumented Articulated, Realistic Human Impact Manikins

Looking for a crash test dummy alternative without the cost and complexity of a fully instrumented ATD?
Our fully articulated action manikins are designed to provide realistic human movement and impact behaviour when data capture is not required. 
​
Unlike traditional crash test dummies, which are heavy, sensor-integrated biomechanical measurement devices, our manikins offer a cost effective, lightweight solution for visual impact simulation, film production, automotive demonstration and safety training. ​​​​​

Designed for realistic Human Impact Response.  Our manikins react like a human body on impact, making them ideal for vehicle interaction testing, crash scene filming and non instrumented occupant motion studies. When you need the look and movement of a crash test dummy, but not the embedded calibration equipment, our articulated manikins provide the practical solution. We manufacture responsive, impact ready manikins to bridge the gap between over engineered crash test systems and static display props - realistic crash simulation without sensor instrumentation. 

Why Choose Action Manikins?

  • Lightweight & Deployable

  • Easy to position, rig and reset

  • Cost effective crash simulation solution

  • Built for repeated impact use

  • No calibration equipment required. 

  • UK based manufacturer

  • Trusted by professionals

Benefits of an Action Manikin

  • Fully articulated with realistic joint ranges of motion

  • Engineered for natural body movement during impact

  • Designed to replicate human kinematic behaviour

  • Balanced for realistic mass distribution

  • Durable and reusable for repeated impact scenarios

Applications

  • ​Safety and emergency response training

  • Driving simulators

  • R & D occupant motion visualisation

  • Vibrational testing

  • Hostile mitigation

​​Not an ATD - we do not replace certified crash test dummies for regulatory testing - we provide a visually authentic alternative when over engineering isn't necessary. ​​​
