The Old Mechanical Brake Tester Tapley Now Retired As DVSA Say A Print Out Required
For almost 100 years Tapley brake testers have been the market leading portable brake testing equipment.
Results of Tapley Brake meter tests have been accepted as evidence of braking efficiency in Courts of Law throughout the world.
But now it seems the Tapley Brake Tester may well be retired in the UK, recent guidance from the DVSA now says a brake test must be printed for inspection records.
Decelerometers have moved on significantly from the old mechanical brake testers such as Tapley Decelerometer. Being electronic BrakeCheck has a much higher accuracy and additional information such as average deceleration, a left/right pull measurement, speed at braking and stopping distance. All tests are time and date stamped.
