Benefits - Truck & Bus


Safety Benefits:

  • Reduce pre-trip check times from the cab by determining whether air brakes are in or out of adjustment before taking to the road.
  • In cab unit provides real time display of brake stroke travel each time the brakes are applied.
  • Last brake application is stored in memory for quick reference.
  • Diagnoses & Displays faults barke system faults in real time.
  • Real time display of brake fade due to over heating friction material and drums.
  • Assures ABS systems are working to maximum efficiency.
  • Promotes balanced braking in normal and emergency situations.
  • Reduces the potential for "jack knife" situations".
  • Reduces the potential loss of control of vehicles and trailers due to out of adjustment air brakes or other identifiable faults in the brake system.
  • Improve fleet safety by a pro-active approach to bake maintenance.

Maintenance and Diagnostic Aid:

  • Reliable diagnostic tool.
  • Quickly and accurately identify air brake chambers that are in or out of adjustment, or are at best marginal.
  • Diagnose ABS fault light due to out of adjustment air brakes or other problems in the brake system.

Simultaneously or Individually:

  • Identify weak or broken emergency brake springs.
  • Identify worn, defective or seized automatic or manual slack adjusters.
  • Identify slack adjusters that have not been correctly set up.
  • Identify cracked or out of round brake drums.
  • Identify air brake chambers that need adjustment to maintain balanced braking.
  • Identify leaking diaphragms, frozen or clogged air valves seized push rods.
  • Identify brake shoes that are "hung up" due to other faults in the brake system or slack adjuster faults.
  • Balance air brake adjustment by chambers.
  • Save time and money, diagnose brake faults with the push of a button.
  • Display real time diagnostics of brake stroke & brake system activity for individual brake chambers on trucks or buses by simply using the in the cab display.

Productivity Enhancement:

  • Provide a fast accurate visual indication of brake stroke travel for drivers, mechanics.
  • Reduce down time of drivers and equipment due to roadside faults.
  • Eliminates mechanics adjusting air brakes needlessly.
  • Increases operational efficiency of drivers and equipment providing increased productivity.
  • Reduce workshop costs by substantially reducing trouble-shooting time of brake system. 
  • Reduce down time of equipment during preventative maintenance.
  • Increases the productivity of your trucks, trailers and buses.

Cost Savings:

  • Diagnostics capabilities of Brake Inspector® greatly reduce a mechanic's workshop time trouble shooting and repairing air brake problems and other faults in the brake system.
  • Accurate pre trip inspections and post trip inspections for air brake stroke travel and emergency spring brake applications are reduced from approximately 20 minutes to 2 minutes.
  • Reducing a driver's mandatory pre and post trip inspection time increases the driver's productivity, the efficiency of your trucks and trailers and improves just-in-time (JIT) deliveries.
  • Reliable on-time deliveries increases customer confidence, customer retention and enables more delivery loads per month.
  • Identification of properly adjusted air brakes eliminates the time spent by mechanics needlessly readjusting air brakes and eliminates driver and equipment down time saving man-hours.
  • Brake Inspector® reduces the costs associated with driver, truck and trailer downtime due to roadside faults.
  • Brake Inspector® promotes balanced braking. Balanced braking extends tire life providing more kilometres per tyre.
  • Balanced braking reduces the potential for "jack knife" situations and loss of control of the truck or trailer reducing accidents, property damage claims and liability claims.
