Workshops and fleet operators can now provide test results that show the vehicle and trailer brakes meet the required brake efficiency standards for commercial vehicles and mobile cranes.<\/p>\n<p>There is also an HGV trailer testing mode that may be used to determine HGV semi-trailer \/ trailer brake efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>BrakeSafe offers the highest standard test instrument at an affordable price to fleet owners and garages. These instruments are a low cost alternative to \u2018rolling road\u2019 brake testers and are approved by the Driver and Vehicle Services Agency (DVSA) in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The Turnkey Brakesafe has been involved in successful trials with comparisons against roller brake testers. To date it is the only brake tester the DVSA has found to be acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>BrakeSafe is easy to use and can be located anywhere in the vehicle. It is self-levelling and automatically aligns itself with the direction of travel. For basic operation, no connections need to be made to the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Optionally, the instrument can be used to measure and record the force applied to the brake pedal. In this case a transducer is attached to the pedal. This also allows the delay time of the braking system to be determined.<\/p>\n<p>All tests are annotated with the time and date, vehicle identity, test conditions and type of brake tested. The instrument can be pre-loaded with 99 vehicle names, 70 trailers, 16 test conditions, 4 brake types, and 8 examiner names. Each name can also be edited via the instrument\u2019s single click control.<\/p>\n<p>BrakeSafe is designed, developed and manufactured by Turnkey Instruments Ltd, Its design has evolved over many years in response to customer feedback and as a result, BrakeSafe is simply the best brake tester available today, anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>BrakeSafe can now be purchased in Ireland from Techplus, and is already proving very popular with Irish fleet owners and vehicle maintenance providers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Turnkey BrakeSafe, which was launched in Ireland a year ago, by workshop equipment specialists, Techplus, is going down a treat with Commercial Vehicle workshops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":13384,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[654],"tags":[47,738],"class_list":["post-13383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-irish-news","tag-techplus","tag-turnkey-brakesafe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
