Motorhome Brake Testing

August 14th, 2017 Comments off

While Serving A Motorhome, Why Not Offer A Brake Test?

Check brakes and stay safe on the road this summer!!

BrakeCheck is a portable, DVSA-approved Brake Tester for all MOT class vehicles.
BrakeCheck determines braking efficiency of both the Service Brake (Foot Brake) and Hand Brake by measuring the rate of deceleration from a speed of around 20 mph (Service Brake) 10 mph (Foot Brake) until the vehicle comes to rest.
With no connection to the vehicle and designed to be self-compensating, the brake tester will indicate on the LED screen when it is positioned level enough to perform a brake test, with a generous tolerance to ensure that this is easy to achieve.
The BrakeCheck decelerometer indicates whether the vehicle pulls to the left or right during braking, and reports the overall brake efficiency of the service and hand brake. Brake test results and be compared to MOT guidelines for roadworthy vehicles.
Test results can be viewed on the display panel or downloaded to a PC for saving or printing. A printed report can also be produced at the time of testing using the portable infra-red printer.
Following the service of a Motor home or vehicle, caravan service engineers could add a hard copy brake performance test, offering confidence and professionalism to the service.

HGV Diesel Theft Alarm

H Mills Transport Increases Fleet & Fits TankGuard As Standard

TankGuard is the latest product to protect truck diesel theft from HGV’s.

The TankGuard fuel theft alarm will activate once the fuel cap is removed or a potential thief tampers with the truck tank.
H Mills Transport of Loughborough installed 3 TankGuard systems at the start of 2017 and with the increase of the fleet, a 17 plate Renault had a TankGuard fitted as standard.
TankGuard has a sophisticated sensor fitted externally in a discreet location on the outside of the fuel tank. If thieves attempt to remove the locked cap, or jemmy out the sender unit or in any way attack the tank, then the Tank Guard alarm will be activated. This will result in a 114 decibel alarm giving a deafening warning to drive the thieves away.
Mark Mills Owner of H Mills Transport said “Running a haulage company one of our most expensive outlays is fuel. With this I have taken the best approach to consolidate this commodity. Installing fuel tank alarms from aide automotive has further protected my trucks from the unwanted attention of thieves. Since installing 3 tank alarms at the start of the year I have further fitted a new truck with the TankGuard alarm. Having confidence my trucks are protected with a quality product gives me piece of mind.”
Fuel theft occurs in many ways, aide automotive market anti siphon devices for the cost-effective approach to fuel protection and with the Fuel Tank Alarm for the tank attacks.
Recent reports of diesel theft by removing the Sender Unit has prompted aide automotive to design another solution. Sender Safe is a robust and easy to fit protective shield for a Truck Fuel Tank Sender unit.
TankGuard can be installed by any competent vehicle workshop or by our installation team.
