Why should I consider bringing brake testing in-house?

Bringing brake testing in-house helps you cut external testing costs, reduce excessive vehicle downtime, and eliminate the wastage of idle labor. It also allows you to gain back control of your fleet schedule, removing the stress and inconvenience of relying on external test stations.

How often do commercial vehicle brakes need to be tested?

According to DVSA regulations, it is advised that commercial vehicle brakes be checked every 6 weeks, depending on the vehicle class. Because of this high frequency, outsourcing these tests can become very costly and time-consuming.

What types of brake testing equipment are available?

V-Tech offers two flagship commercial brake testers:

  • BM20200 Mobile Brake Tester: A mobile unit suitable for flexible testing needs.

  • BM14200 In-Ground Brake Tester: A permanent installation for dedicated testing bays. Both options support in-cab testing and come with the latest BM Flexcheck software.

 

How much money can I expect to save?

The average commercial workshop spends over £12,000 per year just on outsourcing vehicle brake testing fees. By investing in your own equipment, you can significantly reduce or eliminate these recurring costs, in addition to saving money lost through vehicle downtime and staff travel time.

Is there financial support available for purchasing the equipment?

Yes, smart finance options are available (subject to approval). These allow businesses to pay for the brake testing equipment in affordable monthly installments, making it easier to manage cash flow while investing in the necessary machinery.

What after-sales support and warranty are provided?

When you purchase equipment, full installation and training are provided to ensure your mechanics know how to operate the machinery safely and efficiently. Additionally, there are 3 or 5-year warranty options available to ensure long-term reliability and peace of mind.
