Delaware Uses Hunter B400T Brake Testers for Automated Safety Inspection Program

Delaware installed its first B400T computerized brake tester in 1995. Today, there are 11 Hunter-equipped automated inspection stations statewide. The B400T was an ideal technology-based solution for Delaware’s Department of Motor Vehicles safety inspection program. It offers high-speed, high-volume brake performance testing for all road-going vehicles – from sub-compact passenger cars to Class 8, commercial tractors and trailers.

To smooth the transition to automated testing, Hunter and Delaware officials developed a training program for local service technicians that emphasizes proper interpretation of B400T test data. As a result, shops are reporting increased customer satisfaction and more repair authorizations for inspection related repairs.

Each year Delaware typically inspects approximately one-half million passenger cars alone. Hunter’s B400T speeds inspections, improves brake testing quality and provides vehicle owners with actual brake performance information.

Utah's Decentralized Safety Inspection Program Uses Hunter B400 Brake Testing Technology
Since the early 1990's Hunter has supplied B400 computerized brake testers to Utah for its decentralized vehicle safety inspection program. This Salt Lake City B400 installation was the state’s first use of computerized plate brake testers for motor vehicle inspection. Hunter remains the dominant supplier of brake testing technology to individual inspection facilities throughout the state.
