Totalkare has shown a miniature inspection pit with integrated roller brake testers and shaker plates for wheel play at the CV Show.
The complete construction, of galvanised steel and aluminium, comes pre-assembled with steps, lighting, 400mm-stroke hydraulic platform lift for an inspection technician, and sump tank.
The TK-BM65 unit measures 2,180mm long by about 4.5m wide (depending on the choice of 1,000 or 1,200mm-wide brake rollers) and has a depth of 1.8m. Placed in between the roller brake testers is a 500mm-wide inspection bay that runs the length of the pit.
Options include a powered hydraulic cover and heating.
Also, the pit can be installed directly on a compacted sand base, so does not need to be concreted in place. That means it can be removed if the organisation moves premises.
