The Bowmonk BrakeCheck Plus is a DVSA-approved portable brake tester designed to measure brake efficiency by recording vehicle deceleration during braking.

This Plus model is built for operators who need to store multiple brake test results, making it ideal for HGV 6-weekly and 12-weekly inspections, fleet compliance, and DVSA roadside checks.

Unlike basic testers that store a single result, the BrakeCheck Plus stores up to 99 service brake tests and 99 handbrake tests, so operators can test multiple vehicles and retain results without downloading or overwriting after each test. The same 99-test memory is now built into the BrakeCheck Standard, which also adds secondary brake testing as standard.

Key Features & Functionality

  • Operation: Measures Service and Hand Brake efficiency by recording deceleration from approximately 20 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 99 test memory for both the service and hand brake tests, meaning a total of 198 tests can be stored on the device.
  • Power: Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with an auto power-down feature to save energy.
