BrakeCheck Standard just got better.

From June 2026, every BrakeCheck Standard now includes:

✔ Service Brake Test
✔ Handbrake Test
✔ Secondary Brake Test
✔ 99 Test Memory

Previously, BrakeCheck Standard included Service Brake Testing, Handbrake Testing and a single test memory.

The latest update delivers enhanced testing capability and increased memory, helping operators, workshops and fleets record, store and analyse more brake test results than ever before.

More capability. More memory. Same trusted BrakeCheck performance.

Can a decelerometer be used for heavy vehicle brake testing?

It's a question we're often asked by operators and workshops.

The latest Heavy Vehicle Brake Test Best Practice Guide recognises decelerometer testing as a compatible brake assessment method where appropriate.

BrakeCheck provides a practical, portable solution for assessing service brakes, handbrakes and secondary braking systems, with:

✔ 99 Test Memory

✔ Infrared Temperature Gun

✔ Wireless Printer

✔ Instant Printed Results

✔ Carry Case & Accessories

Everything required to carry out, record and print a complete brake assessment from one portable kit.

[Bowmonk Tapley @BowmonkTapley]

After a successful trial, an MOT garage has upgraded all 15 of their workshop PCs to our Duro Box.

Their old fan-cooled PCs were pulling in dust and dirt, causing performance issues over time. Our fanless design eliminates that problem completely — built for reliability in demanding workshop environments.

Compact. Fanless. Built to last.
