Investment in Hunter Inspection Lane Equipment Helps Heavy-Duty Shop Build Business
 |
In a recent letter to Hunter, Tony Parish, President of ProLube, an Illinois-based independent
heavy-duty truck service operation, described the significant growth he experienced after a strategic investment in a Hunter B400T Heavy-Duty
Brake Tester and 611T Alignment System. ProLube specializes in heavy-duty fleet maintenance and engine service.

| New B400T “Brake In Motion” Dramatically
Increases Automated Brake Testing Throughput |
Hunter's Brake In Motion (BIM) computerized truck brake inspection technology dramatically increases throughput by measuring a vehicle's brake performance while it passes through the testing facility at up to 40 mph. The B400T BIM uses four brake plates to gather data more efficiently than typical single or tandem axle testing. The driver needs only to apply constant brake pressure while passing over the plates at speed, making the B400T BIM the quickest of any brake testing devices available. The data is processed by the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) in the control unit and displayed on a Series 811 console. Windows®-based, WinSI software displays show brake force and dynamic weight for each wheel and brake balance for the entire vehicle. |
Brake performance is measured when the driver applies steady brake pressure while passing over the B400T BIM in-ground brake plates; stopping the
vehicle is not necessary. |
