A commercial brake tester is a machine that checks the braking system on a commercial vehicle and then gives an overall result of either pass or fail dependent on the braking system meeting the criteria.

The criteria needed for a vehicle to pass on a brake tester is set out by the DVSA in the UK to ensure commercial vehicles on the UK roads are running safely. A brake tester uses the latest DVSA software to calculate percentages and to give the overall result.

A mobile brake tester does the same thing as a commercial brake tester. Mobile brake tester carries out a check on vehicles to ensure the braking system is up to Government DVSA standards, this is done by checking:

  • Service brake
  • Secondary brake
  • Park brake
  • Bind
  • Ovality
  • ULTAST dependent on vehicle

Mobile brake testers are still a relatively new product for the UK and unlike inground commercial brake testers, have the following benefits:

  • No civil works required
  • Moveable between depots and other testing locations
  • Suitable for uneven surfaces with self-levelling feet.
