JBD brokers braking deal with aide automotive
Equipment supplier aide automotive has provided brake and trailer testing equipment to mobile HGV servicing specialist JBD Commercials via a leasing arrangement through Kennet Leasing.
The deal means that JBD’s maintenance arsenal now includes the BrakeCheck HGV brake tester, as well as the TrailerCheck 4 Vans, enabling the company to perform combined tests of lighting, ABS-EBS-CAN circuits and all air brake systems on trailers in one unit.
TrailerCheck 4 Vans (pictured) can be used for testing trailers from a van or in a workshop, with the option of ECU trailer diagnostics.
The unit incorporates two air test gauges, with a handheld remote brake activator and digital pressure gauge, meaning it can be operated by a single trailer service engineer positioned under a trailer activating brakes and reading pressures.
Switching brakes on and off allows the user to look for wear in s-cams and faulty slack adjusters. The digital pressure gauge measures pressure at the brake chamber, which is said to be ideal for setting load sensing valves. EBS trailers can be tested for CAN line integrity.
