Brake Testa RxM Series
Reliable Brake Testing for Forklifts, Trains, and Off-Highway Vehicles
Why Is Brake Testing Important?
Proper brake testing is not only crucial for vehicle safety but also for the efficiency of a fleet or a workshop. With frequent wear and tear, a vehicle’s braking system can deteriorate over time. Ensuring your vehicles undergo regular brake tests helps to:
Prevent Brake Failures
Early detection of braking issues prevents unexpected failures, which can cause accidents.
Maintain Vehicle Efficiency
A well-maintained brake system contributes to overall vehicle efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and wear on other vehicle components.
Improve Customer Trust
For workshops, providing reliable brake testing builds customer trust, ensuring repeat business.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Routine brake testing keeps your vehicles compliant with safety regulations, helping you avoid fines, failed inspections, and costly downtime.
How does a brake tester work?
The Brake Testa from Circuitlink measures average and peak deceleration, stopping distance, test speed and brake pedal pressure required to stop a vehicle. The Rx Series units are designed for Road Worthiness and Safety Inspections for all types of On-Road and Off-Road vehicles , by Circuitlink, the proven leader in portable brake testing equipment.
- Conducts both handbrake and foot brake tests
- Automatic PASS/FAIL result determined by State criteria
- Graph print-out for analysis of test parameters and vehicle behaviour
- Test outcome prints upon completion and can be set to print 1 or 2 copies
- Manufactured and designed for global industry and regulatory standards including Road Worthiness Inspection Stations, Mine Sites and Fleet Safety compliance.
- Uses Lithium battery and thermal printer technology, completes hundreds of tests on single charge
- Variety of Connectivity Options including USB and WiFi
- Large onboard memory easily accessible by USB means tests can be recalled or reprinted at a later date or downloaded to PC for storage
- GPS on board provides accurate timekeeping for regulatory compliance Optional GPS location services for regulatory requirements such as QLD CL subclass and NSW Mobile Mechanics
- Simple access to CSV summary outputs of tests
- Independently verified by the CSIRO
Circuitlink Brake Testa RxM Series
Brake Testa RxG
The RxG model is the next step up from the Rx. Like the Rx, the RxG measures average and peak deceleration, stopping distance, test speed and the brake pedal pressure required to stop a vehicle. However, a new key feature of the RxG model is a state of the art GPS GEO-location receiver module enabling the device to record the test location in accordance with new government regulations for certain test classes (Rx model is upgradeable to GPS location services). Other RxG only features include visual and audible alerts on GPS, sensors to that tell you the device is ready to complete the test. This model is compliant to NSW RMS Mobile Mechanics and QLD COI CL Inspection standards.
Brake Testa RxM
The RxM model in this series shares all the same features as the RxG, but in addition it is designed for Off road heavy and slow moving vehicles such as Mine Site Mobile Plant (Off-Highway) vehicles for testing under AS2945, forklifts and trains. Like the other models in the series, it is also compliant with Australian Road Worthiness and Safety standards. It measures average and peak deceleration, stopping distance, test speed and brake response time and pressure required to stop a vehicle. Like the RxG, the RxM has a state of the art GPS receiver module as a standard feature, enabling the device to record the test location in accordance with new government regulations for certain test classes including the NSW RMS Mobile Mechanic Pink Slip trial and QLD COI CL Class Inspections. The RxM’s perfermance, reliability and stability has also been independantly verified by the CSIRO.
