Highlighting the Benefits of BM18200 Commercial Roller Brake Testers for Workshops

At Straightset, we’re proud to supply and install some of the most reliable and innovative workshop equipment available, and the BM18200 Commercial Roller Brake Tester is a perfect example. Designed for both light and heavy commercial vehicles, this brake tester combines robust engineering, advanced safety features, and ease of installation, making it a smart choice for busy test centres and commercial workshops.

Load simulation with safety

The BM18200 uses hydraulic lifting roller beds to simulate axle loads of up to 16 tonnes. Its intelligent control software comes with built-in safety features to protect both the vehicle and operator during every test. The beds can lift vehicles up to 255mm above floor level, delivering accurate, real-world brake performance results.

Easy Retrofit

Upgrading your brake testing equipment doesn’t have to mean major downtime. The BM18200 can be retrofitted into most popular subframes without civil work, whether you’re replacing an older BM tester or equipment from another manufacturer. This keeps disruption to a minimum and makes upgrading simple. There are some exceptions to this, but a full site survey would be required to advise accordingly.

Designed to Last

With hot-dip galvanisation for corrosion protection, heavy-duty bearings, and gear motors engineered for load-simulated tests, the BM18200 is built to stand the test of time. Its integrated hydraulic control system prevents twisting and ensures smooth lifting, reducing wear and tear and keeping maintenance costs low.

Future-Ready Technology

The BM18200 works seamlessly with BM’s FlexCheck software, which means you can operate the brake tester wirelessly and access digital reporting. It also integrates into connected MOT equipment, making it ideal for future-proofing your workshop.
