GEMCO tackles brake testing with Tecalemit DE9700
GEMCO, the garage equipment specialist, has highlighted the benefits of its Tecalemit DE9700 Commercial Brake Tester, which it says offers comprehensive testing capabilities across HGVs, trailers, buses and more.
“When it comes to commercial vehicle testing, precision and consistency aren’t optional, they’re essential,” said the company.
“The Tecalemit DE9700 Commercial Brake Tester has been developed with this exact mindset, delivering a solution that not only meets UK ATF requirements but is purpose-built to support operators in achieving reliable, repeatable results every time.”
“Designed specifically for the UK market [and] backed by decades of brake testing expertise, its heavy-duty roller bed system combines robust engineering with intelligent functionality,” said GEMCO.
“Dual 15kW motors, paired with soft-start technology, ensure smooth operation while reducing mechanical stress, providing both longevity and operator confidence.
“What truly elevates the DE9700 is its integrated 8-sensor axle weighing system. This feature enables automatic, highly accurate weight measurement during testing, streamlining workflows and eliminating the need for separate weighing procedures. Combined with a built-in vehicle record database, workshops can efficiently manage periodic safety checks while maintaining full traceability and compliance…
“As a DVSA Approved Connected solution, it aligns seamlessly with regulatory requirements, giving operators complete peace of mind.”
To further enhance testing accuracy, the DE9700 can be equipped with the axle load simulator (ALT907510). This addition allows operators to simulate real-world load conditions, says the firm, ensuring brake performance is assessed under representative operating scenarios.
“The result is a more thorough, realistic evaluation – particularly valuable when testing lightly loaded vehicles where true braking efficiency might otherwise be harder to measure.
“In a sector where compliance, safety, and efficiency must work hand in hand, the Tecalemit DE9700 delivers a premium-quality solution that supports workshops in meeting today’s demands while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges.”
