CloseMeasuring equipment for transport fleets and workshops
For a haulage operator, a vehicle out of service means lost revenue. Brake testers for heavy vehicles, play detectors, smoke meters and OBD readers: equip your workshop to stay ahead of regulatory deadlines and keep your fleet on the road.
For a transport operator, a vehicle out of service means lost revenue and the need to reorganise operations. Having your own measurement equipment changes the way you manage maintenance: you can anticipate issues rather than react to them.
Truck and coach operators must ensure that their fleet is safe and available, whilst remaining compliant with current regulations. Our equipment is designed to balance these three requirements: productivity, user safety and emissions control.
Preparing for regulatory deadlines
A mock inspection carried out in the workshop itself avoids the need for re-inspections and unplanned downtime, which are particularly costly for articulated lorries.
Monitor the actual condition of the vehicle fleet
Regular measurements, recorded on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, enable any drift to be identified before a breakdown occurs and allow decisions on replacements to be based on data rather than on a hunch.
Behind the industrial imperatives of transport lie two constants: technological innovation and compliance with regulations, regardless of the mode of transport.
Road transport
Lorries and buses: heavy-duty brake testers, gas analysers and smoke analysers, headlamp beamsetters, OBD readers.
Trams and trains
On-board solutions for braking forces and door closing pressure, headlight alignment gantries.
Passenger transport
Automatic door pressure testers and taximeter verification benches.
The configuration depends on the size of the fleet, the types of vehicles and the proportion of maintenance carried out in-house. A transport operator’s workshop does not need a full range of test bench equipment: it requires the workstations that correspond to its most frequent tasks.
The brake tester is almost always the first investment: it is the starting point for the work, and it is also the piece of equipment used on a daily basis.

Why equip your own transport workshop?
A preliminary inspection carried out at your workshop prevents the need for re-inspections and unplanned downtime, which can be particularly costly for articulated lorries. Regular measurements, recorded on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, also help to identify any drift before a breakdown occurs.
Which brake tester is suitable for a fleet of heavy vehicles?
The CAP9110 brake tester can handle up to 20 t per axle and measures up to 40,000 daN. Compact in design, it fits into any workshop or test centre.
Is it possible to check the play in the steering of a heavy vehicle without lifting it?
Yes. Installed on either side of a pit, the CAP9200 PEH and CAP9210 PEH hydraulic play detectors replicate road forces to inspect steering, pivots, bearings and joints, without the need for lifting.
Can the on-board computers of heavy vehicles be read?
Yes. The EOBD CAP4150 reader reads fault codes and ECU data from light vehicles and heavy vehicles (SAE J1939 protocol) in under a minute.
