The BrakeCheck kit records the overall braking efficiency and the percentage of braking imbalance, with options to print or download the results.

The tester is portable and battery-powered, enabling it to be used in workshops, MOT testing stations and on-site for plant vehicles, says the company.

The unit also detects if the vehicle is in the correct position to perform a brake test. The vehicle is then accelerated to 10-12mph before braking, allowing the tester to record peak and average deceleration and brake efficiency, any left or right pull, stopping distance, and test speed.
