HGV Trailer Brake Testing

Ensure your HGV trailers meet all DVSA standards with Trailerman's ATF approved brake testing. We offer comprehensive HGV trailer brake testing using a market-leading mobile roller brake tester (RBT) with the latest DVSA software, guaranteeing compliance with the DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.

Our services include thorough commercial trailer brake tests to assess HGV brake efficiency testing and identify potential issues before they lead to costly repairs or dangerous situations. We perform laden brake testing to accurately measure brake performance under realistic load conditions. We also offer brake imbalance testing, brake bind testing, and brake ovality testing (for steered axles).

HGV trailer brake test standards require at least four RBTs per year.

HGV trailer brake test standards require at least four RBTs per year, including the MOT.

Before your MOT RBT, we ensure:

  • Your trailer is sufficiently loaded (ideally to at least 65% of its maximum weight, with exceptions for livestock or obnoxious loads and Tri axle Trailers).
  • The brakes have had time to bed in.
  • Our RBT is calibrated regularly and in optimal condition.
  • Your trailer meets the minimum efficiency requirements.

Our detailed HGV trailer brake test report includes:

  • Trailer details
  • Brake performance of each axle (including bind, time lag, ovality, imbalance, and max force)
  • Summary of test results
