Lister benefits from aide brake test kit

By Categories: Commercial NewsPublished On: Friday 23 April 2021

William D Lister (Haulage) Ltd has invested in technology from aide automotive to help ensure its vehicles are braking efficiently.

Ross Ward, general/workshop manager, said: “We had been looking for a brake testing kit for some time without going down the route of installing a roller brake test. After looking on the internet we came across aide automotive and gave them a call.

“After an informative chat with Matt at aide automotive we purchased the Bowmonk BrakeCheck TT series 2 in-cab brake test kit, along with the GM320S Infrared Thermometer for testing brake drum/disc heat. I was at first a little unsure regarding the use of the equipment, but a video call with Matt… soon got me up and running and I found [it] straightforward thereafter.

“Matt was certainly helpful and knowledgeable regarding the products he and the team at aide automotive supply, and I know for sure that if I have any issues in the future Matt and his team would certainly be the go-to guys.”

BrakeCheck is a portable battery powered brake tester device that can be used by vehicle workshops, government traffic authorities, testing and inspection stations to test and report on vehicle brake efficiency.

BrakeCheck will conduct a service, secondary and parking brake test with ease and store in its memory for later printing via PC or portable printer. All tests are time and date-stamped.

In addition to BrakeCheck Standard, aide can also offer BrakeCheck Plus, which has a 99 test memory. Once tested, the BrakeCheck can be downloaded to a PC through CabCheck Software. This program can be supplied to print and store single tests or compile a database of results for analysis and reporting. Handheld portable printers are also available for quick easy printing.

BrakeCheck is battery rechargeable and is calibrated every 24 months.
