BrakeCheck Overview

The BrakeCheck Standard is a portable, DVSA-approved brake tester suitable for all vehicle classes, from motorcycles to HGVs.

It measures braking efficiency of the Service Brake (Foot Brake), Hand Brake and Secondary Brake by recording the rate of deceleration from a speed of around 20 mph until the vehicle comes to rest.

With 99-test memory, you can store and recall multiple test results without overwriting or downloading after each test, making it suited to fleet and multi-vehicle inspections as well as single tests.

Designed to be self-compensating, the instrument indicates on the LED screen when it is positioned level enough to perform a brake test, with a generous tolerance to make this easy to achieve.

Recording and sharing results

  • On the device: view results instantly on the display panel.
  • Save and print from a PC: download results for saving and printing using BC Print (sold separately).
  • Submit to the DVSA testing portal: send results straight to the DVSA using Bowmonk Connected (sold separately).
  • Print at the point of test: produce a printed report on the spot with the portable infra-red printer (sold separately).

Key Features & Functionality

  • Operation: Measures Service, Hand and Secondary Brake efficiency by recording deceleration from approximately 20 mph.
  • Diagnostics: Identifies braking imbalance (pulling left or right) so faults are caught before they become failures.
  • Usability: Self-contained and user-friendly, with a self-compensating level indicator that confirms correct positioning before every test.
  • Data: View results on the LED screen, print on the spot with a portable infra-red printer, or download to a PC to save, print and submit to the DVSA testing portal.
  • Memory: Stores up to 99 test results across the service, hand and secondary brake tests, so multiple vehicles can be tested and results retained without overwriting or downloading after each one.
  • Power: Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with an auto power-down feature to conserve charge between tests.
