The equipment specialist has unveiled its latest product to provide users with a flexible and durable all-in-one brake tester and wheel play detector
Workshop equipment specialist Totalkare has introduce a new, all-in-one packaged solution for fleet operators and repair specialists. The company says its new TK-BM65 inspection pit is the perfect solution for workshops seeking a brake tester and wheel play detector with inspection capabilities, but for whom space is at a premium or the requirement for a full inspection pit does not exist.
Measuring only 4,270mm in length and 2,180mm across, with a depth of just 1,808mm, the TK-BM65 is a plug-and-play galvanised steel inspection pit that comes pre-assembled and includes a brake tester, wheel play detector, lighting, hydraulic inspection floor, integrated sump tank, side entrance stairs, safety rails, and optional heating and hydraulic aluminium cover for use outdoors. It can be installed directly on a sand base without the need for concreting, making it a suitable for a wide range of locations and can be moved and re-installed between sites, offering a flexible, long term, sustainable solution to workshops.
The TK-BM65 comes equipped either with a standard in-ground brake tester or load simulation brake tester from Totalkare, depending on the workshop’s requirements, both of which have 1,000mm rollers capable of testing axle loads up to 16,000kg and come with a wireless tablet interface to allow brake tests to be completed from the driver’s seat. On request, longer rollers can also be supplied for vehicles with a wider wheelbase.
Designed for use both indoors and out, the TK-BM65 can be supplied with an optional aluminium hydraulic cover to protect the unit from the elements when not in use. The cover is also designed with safety in mind and unless fully open will not allow power to the test equipment. A further option enables workshops to have the TK-BM65 installed with a thermostatically controlled heating system to protect the brake tester and play detector in cold winter months.
“At Totalkare we strive to make life easier for our customers by offering innovative solutions to problems they may be experiencing and the TK-BM65 is a perfect example of this,” said David Hall, CEO for Totalkare. “Space is often in short supply in busy commercial vehicle workshops and, until now, will have caused many a workshop manager or business owner to dismiss the idea of installing an inspection pit and brake testing solution. The TK-BM65 fits perfectly in Totalkare’s portfolio of workshop equipment and we are genuinely excited at the possibilities the TK-BM65 opens up for the transport industry.”
