When it comes to choosing brake testing equipment for your workshop, you certainly have a wide variety of different options available to you. So much so that it can be quite overwhelming. But there are, in fact, two main options available to you: in-ground systems and mobile systems.
In this article, we will focus on mobile brake testing and the many benefits and advantages it offers. Perhaps you will find that it is the ideal choice for you!
The Expense Of Groundworks
Having an in-ground brake tester means that the workshop owner needs to invest in groundworks in order to have the system installed. Not only is this very expensive, but it can be quite time consuming and cause a disruption in the workplace. Once it is all in place, it is very difficult to have it moved around.
Mobile Brake Testers Are Not The Inferior Option
There is a common misbelief that mobile brake testing systems are inferior to in-ground, but the fact is that they can operate in very much the same way, with the same systems, electronics and remote controls in place. Mobile brake testing systems are just as effective and produce in-depth and accurate results when used correctly. Of course, choosing the right model is very important.
Advantages Of Mobile Brake Testing Systems
- Mobile brake testers can be used at various sites. They allow you to service vehicles on-site or at the homes of clients.
- Even if the brake tester stays in one workshop, it can be moved around to make space for other processes or be used outside when the weather is good, allowing you to use the space you have in your workshop to its maximum potential.
- No installation time or investment to be spent. It can be used on any hard flooring. It takes just 10 minutes to set up and is very easy to use.
- It can be operated by just one person.
- It is the more affordable and flexible option for workshop owners.
