Truck Roller Brake Testers for COF Compliance and Heavy Vehicle Workshops
Truck brake testers, often referred to as truck roller brake testers, are essential equipment for accurately measuring braking performance in heavy vehicles. Used in COF inspection lanes, fleet workshops, and transport maintenance facilities, roller brake testers provide precise, repeatable brake force measurements to verify safety and regulatory compliance.
EquipSpecs supplies and installs Ryme Worldwide truck roller brake testers across New Zealand, supporting workshops, testing stations, and fleet operators with reliable brake testing technology built for demanding heavy-vehicle environments.
Designed for COF inspection requirements and heavy workshop use, these systems deliver accurate brake performance data for trucks, buses, trailers, and other commercial vehicles. Our team provides full installation, commissioning, calibration, and long-term support, ensuring your brake testing equipment performs reliably from day one.
For workshops providing light-vehicle inspection services, EquipSpecs also supplies roller brake testers for light vehicles, offering the same proven testing technology designed for lighter axle loads.
