MAHA fits ATF lane at Renault Truck Commercials’ new Felixstowe site

In March, Renault Truck Commercials officially launched a new authorised test facility (ATF) in Felixstowe.

The one-and-a-half-acre site only opened in December 2021, and it wasted no time in bringing MAHA UK in to support with the new installation, along with moving and upgrading the existing brake testing equipment from its previous site.

The ATF features MAHA UK’s LMS 20.0 axle play tester and DVSA specification MBT 7250 Eurosystem brake tester for HGV, PSV, along with classes 4 and 7. The axle play tester LMS 20.0 identifies the defects and wear of steering parts, wheel bearings, shock absorbers and suspension by lateral and longitudinal movement of the test plates in opposite directions.

Meanwhile, the test-lane compatible MBT 7250 EUROSYSTEM is designed to brake test trucks with axle loads of up to 18t. It is ideal for diagnostics in situations where workshops, dealers and fleets are servicing, repairing or testing large quantities of vehicles in quick time. Its large sensor roller, with a diameter of 100mm, guarantees measurable coverage across each of the tyre’s dimensions.
