The ATF testing has allowed operators to carry out MOT testing of commercial vehicles in their own premises, allowing for additional benefits:

  • Cost saving on labour
  • Cost saving on fuel
  • Convenience
  • Testing of outside vehicles for return on investment

Most ATF test lanes have incorporated class 4 and 7 testing to allow for own personal to carry out MOT testing on cars and light commercials to increase the return on investment with the capital outlay.

ATF test lanes carry out MOTs on; Truck, Trailers, HGV’s, Buses, Coaches, PSV’s and other commercial vehicles. The main tests carried out during MOT are:

  • Underside inspection of vehicle by using an ATF compliant Inspection Pit
  • Testing of braking components via a commercial brake tester
  • Checking of steering axles by play detectors and pit jacks
  • Ensuring emissions are compliant by using an emission tester
  • Checking headlight aim using a headlight tester

All of the above equipment is supplied, installed and maintained by Everquip, and with 25 years of experience in designing workshops. Everquip understand DVSA requirements for layout of ATF test lanes.
