Brake Testing Equipment

Turnkey’s first product.

Simret 3000 Brake Tester

The Simret 3000 brake tester was Turnkey’s first product. Designed for testing the braking performance of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) this piece of equipment was developed in conjunction with the British Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Portable, straightforward to use and accurate to within 0.5%, the Simret 3000 has become the de facto standard for the brake testing of heavy vehicle and machine braking systems to ensure compliance with health and safety standards.

Heavy vehicle accidents are often caused by the deterioration of brakes, so regular brake testing is important in the prevention of accidents. The Simret 3000 can be used regularly to identify early deterioration of brakes, so that action can be taken before it’s too late: crucial to reducing brake failure related incidents.
designed for testing the braking performance of off-road vehicles

Simret 4000 Brake Tester

The Simret 4000 is designed for testing the braking performance of off-road vehicles. It is compact and lightweight, with a large, backlit screen and detachable printer.

The instrument is ideally suited to the brake ratio method of testing, which is recommended as best practice for rubber-tyred vehicles in quarries, open cast coal sites and mines.

The Simret 4000 records average brake ratio, test incline, speed and stopping distance, and because the brake ratio is measured independently of gradient and speed, tests can be carried out in different environments and conditions.
