B400T Brake Tester Meets High Throughput Requirements of Miami-Dade County |
|
Speed and accuracy are what make the Hunter B400T Heavy-Duty Brake Tester an ideal fit for the Miami-Dade County Consumer Services Department vehicle safety inspection program. The department inspects all for-hire passenger vehicles licensed to operate in the county. The B400T provides comprehensive brake performance evaluations on two-axle or multi-axle vehicles and trailers in less than one minute. Operators simply drive on, brake and drive off. Upon exiting the B400T, vehicles pass over a Hunter SS100T Sideslip Tester that measures for vehicle conditions related to misalignment or worn or broken steering or suspension parts. Thirty to thirty-five percent of vehicles fail to pass the initial brake or sideslip inspection, requiring service before reinspection. |
