For example, the deterioration of brakes in heavy vehicles is a common cause of accidents. Regular brake testing, using devices like our Simret 3000, can help you detect issues early, preventing often fatal accidents.

Meet the latest regulations.

Vehicles must comply with a host of regulations, including emissions standards and MOT requirements.

Our equipment includes BrakeSafe, which is approved by the DVSA and ensures that vehicles meet these mandatory legal standards. Furthermore, tools like the TintMan and iTINT, which measure window tint levels, help authorities ensure that vehicles comply with visibility laws, reducing the risk of accidents​.

Prevent and investigate accidents.

Our testing equipment is not only great for routine checks but for accident investigations. For example, our SkidMan device assists in reconstructing road accidents by measuring skid marks and brake performance at the scene. This data is invaluable for understanding the cause of accidents and for legal proceedings​.

High-quality vehicle testing equipment allows mechanics and engineers to fine-tune vehicle performance. By testing various systems under different conditions, issues such as poor fuel efficiency or suboptimal engine performance can be identified and addressed. This ensures vehicles run smoothly and efficiently, saving costs and improving the overall driving experience​.
