Tachograph calibration tips from Phoenix
Phoenix Equipment has emphasised the benefits of adding tachograph calibration capability to roller brake testers, enabling workshops to expand their service portfolios or cater for tachograph work on in-house fleets.
With economic pressures weighing heavy on business, says Phoenix, customers are seeking new for ways to save money and expand their businesses.
“By adding tachograph calibration functionality to existing brake testing equipment, Phoenix have enabled workshops to gain DVSA approval to carry out tachograph calibrations, not only on outside work but also to allow calibration of their own fleet of vehicles,” said the company.
“This saves vehicle downtime, costs and valuable resource whilst also increasing turnover and profitability.
“Phoenix staff have been involved in the installation of over 100 tachograph brake tester add-ons throughout the UK. This has given us the experience to ensure that the required support – from the DVSA application through to installation and DVSA approval – is provided.”
Adding this dual functionality to perform brake testing and tachograph calibration in a single bay cost-effectively increases income through existing equipment, the firm contends.
It says working with customers to gain DVSA approval is simple: the company can provide multiple site visits including attendance at the DVSA site visit; management of DVSA application and approval; assistance with site drawings required for approval; and post-DVSA approval training.
Phoenix also supplies all parts, accessories, training and equipment required for a functioning tachograph centre.
Working with the UK’s main brake tester suppliers, the company offers DVSA approved solutions for Phoenix, Nussbaum, BM, Sherpa, Vteq, VLT and Tecalemit brake testers, backed by a professional installation and support team.
“The concept is designed with ease of use in mind, utilising the latest wireless technology to provide precise measurements, quickly, easily and accurately every time,” said Phoenix.
