Seth Punchard, haulage and distribution company based in Derbyshire have recently decided to bring brake testing in house with our BM20200 Commercial Mobile Brake Tester.

The family run haulage company have a fleet of over 40 commercial rigid and articulated vehicles. These vehicles are at the heart of the business operation, and are used daily to deliver a wide variety of materials throughout the UK and Europe. Therefore, vehicle safety is incredibly important to the business to ensure they are running on the roads safely.
In fact, their attention to vehicle safety and compliance has earned Seth Punchard a Gold FORS accreditation. It is this drive for excellence that has led to the decision to bring their brake testing in-house.

Miller Plant, who offer earth works services, demolition services and much more, decided to invest in our popular BM14200 Roller Brake Tester. The Aberdeen based workshop wanted to bring brake testing in-house and like many of our customers, they wanted to experience the benefits of in-house brake testing first-hand.

As you can imagine, paying external agencies for brake tests can be extremely expensive and their investment allows them to reduce vehicle downtime and labour time significantly.

Each roller conveys automatic axle weight through separate weighing cells and through the PC unit. It can also be programmed to test any vehicle from passenger cars to heavy goods vehicles.

Flex Fleet Service Ltd, who are a car and commercial vehicle repair centre in Leicester, invested in our Commercial Mobile BM20200 Roller Brake Tester. V-Tech supplied this commercial brake testing unit to meet the needs of the workshop as they wanted to bring brake-testing in-house.

This premium brake tester is known for its ability to hold up to 20,000 kg of axle load with integrated load simulation. This unit is not only fully DVSA approved but it is perfect for commercial fleets.

One of the major benefits of this workshop’s investment is that they are now able to carry out their own brake tests instead of relying on external agencies. Their investment also allows them to increase workshop opportunities by offering brake testing services to local fleets. In summary, Flex Fleet Service can now reduce downtime and save costs with their brand new brake testing equipment.

AJ Automedics, who provide vehicle services in Durham, invested in our BM4010 Brake Tester to replace an old brake testing unit. The thriving workshop wanted a high-quality brake tester that allowed for split bed installation over an inspection pit. The BM4010 was a straight fit into the ground, which meant there was no groundworks necessary for the customers. Our BM4010 has had increasing interest over the last few months as it proves an easy replacement for most brake testing units.
