Our trailer brake system diagnostics pinpoint the root cause, including:
Prevent minor issues with regular trailer air brake diagnostics and maintenance
Environmental factors like dirt and moisture can contribute to these problems. Regular trailer air brake diagnostics and maintenance are crucial to prevent minor issues from escalating. We specialize in commercial trailer brake diagnostics and work with leading brands, including Knorr-Bremse, WABCO, and Haldex.
We also provide trailer brake sensor diagnostics and diagnostics for Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), now mandatory for new trailers (from July 7, 2024), adhering to Regulation 2009/661, UN ECE R141. Addressing TPMS issues promptly is vital for safety, fuel economy, and tire longevity.
We also Provide fitment and diagnostics on all Brand Electronic Brake Performance Monitoring Systems (EBPMS)
An Electronic Braking Performance Monitoring System (EBPMS) is a technology that continuously monitors and records a commercial vehicle's braking performance during regular operation. By collecting data from each braking event—such as vehicle speed, brake pressure, axle load, and road gradient—EBPMS analyses this information over time to produce a comprehensive performance report.
In the United Kingdom, significant regulatory changes regarding brake testing are set to take effect from April 2025. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will mandate that all trailers undergo four laden roller brake tests annually. Alternatively, operators can comply by implementing an EBPMS, which offers continuous real-time monitoring of brake performance.
The introduction of EBPMS presents several advantages over traditional roller brake tests (RBTs):
It's important to note that while EBPMS can replace multiple annual RBTs, it does not substitute the statutory MOT brake tests. Operators must ensure that parking brake performance is also regularly assessed, incorporating daily 'tug tests' and thorough reviews of driver defect reports.
For operators opting not to implement EBPMS, adherence to the new regulations will require conducting four evenly spaced laden roller brake tests each year, including the annual MOT. This approach may involve increased operational costs and potential scheduling challenges due to limited testing capacity.
To ensure compliance and maintain safety standards, fleet operators should assess their current brake testing protocols and consider integrating EBPMS or adapting to the increased frequency of RBTs ahead of the April 2025 deadline.
Our HGV trailer brake fault finding process includes electronic brake diagnostics and trailer brake performance analysis, using roller brake tester diagnostics where needed. We offer comprehensive HGV trailer brake repair diagnostics and access to a vast inventory of quality parts. We also retrofit braking systems and TPMS to older trailers.
Our trailer brake system diagnostics pinpoint the root cause, including:
Our diagnostic check meticulously examines your trailer's systems, leveraging onboard computer networks to provide detailed insights into brakes, suspension, and related systems, ensuring comprehensive ensuring trailer brake compliance and HGV trailer brake safety diagnostics.
