Truck Roller Brake Testers for COF Compliance and Heavy Vehicle Workshops
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, these systems provide precise, repeatable brake force measurements to support vehicle safety and regulatory compliance.
EquipSpecs supplies and installs Ryme Worldwide truck roller brake testers across New Zealand. Featuring integrated lifting bed load simulation in both our FRU 4 and FRU 15 models, our systems are designed to meet COF inspection requirements while delivering 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 heavy vehicle 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.
