Are you compliant?

HGV brake testing is a vital component in your preventative maintenance systems. Every safety inspection must assess the braking performance of the vehicle or trailer. It is strongly advised that a calibrated roller brake tester is used at each safety inspection to measure individual brake performance and overall braking efficiencies.

HGV or trailer brakes should be tested by a roller brake tester at least four times a year, including at the MOT. This is not a guideline, but a legal requirement. At SMS Ltd, we make sure that your vehicles are fully compliant and certified, taking the worry and hassle out of fleet compliance.
