Measuring equipment for transportation fleets and workshops

For a carrier, a vehicle out of service means lost revenue. Heavy-duty brake testers, play gauges, opacity meters, and EOBD readers: equip your shop to stay ahead of regulatory deadlines and keep your fleet operational.

Managing Fleet Availability

For a carrier, a vehicle out of service means lost revenue and a need to reorganize operations. Having your own measurement tools changes the way you manage maintenance: you can anticipate issues rather than react to them.

Truck and bus operators must ensure that their fleet is safe and available, while remaining compliant with current regulations. Our equipment is designed to balance these three requirements: productivity, user safety, and emissions control.

Prepare for regulatory deadlines

A pre-inspection performed in your own workshop prevents the need for follow-up inspections and unplanned downtime, which can be particularly costly for a tractor-trailer combination.

Track the actual status of the fleet

Regular measurements, recorded vehicle by vehicle, make it possible to detect deviations before a breakdown occurs and to make decisions regarding replacements based on data rather than on a hunch.

One Industry, Multiple Modes

Behind the industrial demands of transportation lie two constants: technological innovation and compliance with regulations, regardless of the mode of transport.

01

Road Transport

Trucks and buses: heavy-duty brake testers, exhaust gas and smoke analyzers, headlight aimers, and EOBD scanners.

02

Trams and Trains

On-board solutions for braking force and door closing pressure, headlight alignment stands.

03

Passenger transport

Automatic door pressure testers and taximeter verification benches.

Equipping an Integrated Workshop

The configuration depends on the size of the fleet, the types of vehicles, and the proportion of maintenance performed in-house. A carrier’s workshop does not need a full line of test stations: it needs the stations that correspond to its most frequent service tasks.

The brake tester is almost always the first investment: it’s the starting point for maintenance work, and it’s also the piece of equipment used most frequently on a daily basis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why equip your own transportation workshop?

A preliminary inspection conducted at your shop prevents follow-up inspections and unplanned downtime, which can be particularly costly for a truck-trailer combination. Regular measurements, recorded on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, also help identify performance drifts before a breakdown occurs.

Which brake tester is best for a fleet of heavy-duty trucks?

The CAP9110 brake tester accommodates up to 20 metric tons per axle and measures up to 40,000 daN. Compact in design, it fits into any facility, whether in a workshop or a vehicle inspection center.

Is it possible to check the steering play on a heavy-duty truck without lifting it?

Yes. Installed on either side of an inspection pit, the CAP9200 PEH and CAP9210 PEH hydraulic test plates simulate road forces to inspect steering, pivots, bearings, and joints without lifting the vehicle.

Can we read the data from heavy-duty truck ECUs?

Yes. The EOBD CAP4150 reader reads fault codes and ECU data from light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles (SAE J1939 protocol) in less than a minute.
