J Webb enhances safety with Totalkare agri brake tester

J Webb Mechanical Services, has made a significant advancement in its service capabilities with the purchase of an agricultural brake tester from Totalkare.

The Shropshire company took delivery of the mobile brake tester and has started testing straight away to enhance the safety of agricultural trailers in anticipation of more stringent regulations being enforced in future.

To support the continued push for increased trailer safety in the agricultural sector, the decision to integrate Totalkare’s agricultural mobile brake tester into its operations “was easy”. The brake tester offers a comprehensive analysis of the condition and efficiency of brakes on each axle, pinpointing specific problem areas.

One of the main features of the mobile brake tester is its built-in axle pull-down system and hydraulic power station, which allows the brakes to be operated independently of the tractor. This ensures that every test yields precise and reliable results, providing an unmatched level of detail regarding brake performance.

Capable of handling axle loads between 16,000kg and 20,000kg, the brake tester is versatile enough to accommodate a wide range of agricultural vehicles. Its design includes single or bi-directional rollers, further enhancing its utility and adaptability in various testing scenarios.

From its Telford headquarters, J Webb Mechanical Services is poised to set new standards in agricultural vehicle maintenance with this latest investment. The implementation of Totalkare’s mobile brake tester not only bolsters the company’s service offerings but also significantly contributes to improving road safety for agricultural trailers.

John Webb from J Webb Mechanical Services commented on the new addition, saying” “Our top priority has always been to increase safety and awareness of vehicle maintenance within the agricultural sector. The addition of Totalkare’s agricultural brake tester allows us to offer a new level of service, ensuring that both the brakes of our trailers and our clients’ trailers are checked for their safety.”
