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.
