BrakeCheck Overview

The Bowmonk BrakeCheck FLT is a portable brake tester designed specifically for forklift trucks.

It measures service brake and handbrake efficiency, considering the slow operating speeds and vehicle tilt common to forklift operation.

Developed in collaboration with a leading forklift truck manufacturer, the decelerometer provides fast, repeatable brake performance measurements and is ideally suited to LOLER and PUWER safety inspections.

Forklift trucks operate differently from road vehicles. The BrakeCheck FLT is engineered to account for:

  • Low operating speeds
    • Vehicle tilt during operation
    • Short braking distances

This ensures accurate and repeatable results where standard brake testers may not be suitable.

Key Features & Functionality

  • Operation: Measures Service Brake and Hand Brake efficiency by recording deceleration from approximately 12 mph.
  • Diagnostics: Identifies braking imbalance (pulling left or right).
  • Usability: Self-contained and user-friendly. It features a self-compensating level indicator to ensure correct positioning.
  • Data: Results can be viewed on the LED screen, printed via a portable infra-red printer, or downloaded to a PC.
  • Memory: Has an independent 50 test memory for both the service brake test and hand brake incline test.
  • Power: Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with an auto power-down feature to save energy.
