Continental solutions for CV brake testing
Vehicle technology group Continental offers a variety of workshop equipment, including the BM14200 VDO brake tester for HGV applications.
The CV brake tester range, which is said to make the testing process easy and accurate, is suitable for use in workshops, tachograph centres and authorised testing facilities.
Benefits of the range are said to include reduced labour costs and increased profitability thanks to the use of up-to-date technology, while allowing customers to meet DVSA periodic brake testing requirements.
“From expert advice to innovative equipm ent, project management and aftercare, we offer our customers a complete solution,” said Continental.
“VDO equipment works in conjunction with Crypton’s state-of-the-art emissions analysers for testing both petrol and diesel engines.
“VDO offer comprehensive service packages to cater for all service requirements.”
In addition to heavy-duty in-ground roller brake testers, the company offers a Mobile Brake Tester designed for light and heavy vehicles with an axle load of up to 20,000kg.
It features many options also available on in-ground models, including a tablet, DVSA database for simple vehicle set-up and pass/fail printouts, and tachograph add-on. It can test 4×4, 6×4 and 8×6 driven vehicles, is DVSA approved, and is said to be easy to manoeuvre around the workshop.
