Brake Roller Testing

Brake roller testing keeps your vehicle safe and legal. The tester analyses vehicle efficiency and roadworthiness using advanced vehicle inspection technology meeting regulatory authority standards for road registration requirements. It tests vehicle brake force, brake balance, wheel rolling resistance and deceleration to determine the braking performance and efficiency, as well as taking axle weight measurements. All data can be downloaded to a Windows-based computer and stored for further analysis.

The shaker allows the operator to quickly diagnose and inspect steering and suspension components throughout the vehicle. King pins, bearings, suspension bushings, cab mounts, tie rods and all other undercarriage components can be quickly inspected.

Call our service department to make a booking for a brake roller and shaker test.

Parts Delivery and Breakdown Vehicle

One of the things that separates a good company from an excellent one is their commitment to understanding their customer’s needs, and the one word that is always mentioned is service. Our parts and service departments have two full time delivery drivers, because we understand the importance of the word service. The staff at Truck & Car Brake Service are committed to providing our customers a delivery service, which will cut down waiting time for essential parts. We also sell parts directly out of our workshop if required, whether you need brake valves, drums or discs, clutch components, or fittings, couplings or suzi coils.

The service department runs a fully equipped breakdown vehicle to attend stranded vehicles, which carries all the necessary equipment to get your vehicle back to our workshop, or back on the road. If you ever get stranded on the road, give us a call.
