READ MORE -The BrakeCheck is our portable, DVSA-approved Brake Tester.
The Bowmonk BrakeCheck is a fully self-contained, user friendly, portable brake tester, used by workshops, government traffic authorities and Authorised Test Facilities (ATF’s) around the world to record the braking efficiency and percentage of braking imbalance of all classes of vehicle from a Motorcycle to an HGV, in a matter of minutes.
The BrakeCheck is also approved by the DVSA for performing the quarterly voluntary brake tests now required as part of the interim safety inspections.
The Bowmonk BrakeCheck determines braking efficiency of both the Service Brake (Foot Brake) and Hand Brake by measuring the rate of deceleration from a speed of around 20 mph until the vehicle comes to rest. Secondary brake testing is an option at no extra cost.
Designed to be self-compensating, the instrument will indicate on the LED screen when it is positioned level enough to perform a brake test, with a generous tolerance to ensure that this is easy to achieve.
The unit indicates whether the vehicle pulls to the left or right during braking, and is also capable of measuring and displaying acceleration.
Test results can be viewed on the display panel or downloaded to a PC for saving or printing. A printed report can also be produced at the time of testing using the portable infra-red printer. Please see the BrakeCheck Accessories page for more information.
The device operates on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack and will power-down after a period of inactivity to conserve energy.
The BrakeCheck is available in a number of variants which cover all common and specialist vehicle types, including forklift trucks and quarry vehicles. Please click on the “Model Variants” tab above for more information.
The BrakeCheck is the only DVSA approved kit for testing all classes of vehicle, including:
Stores 1 Service Brake & 1 Hand Brake test into memory.

The BrakeCheck TT (Trailer Test) is very similar to the standard BrakeCheck unit, but has the facility to display separate results for the truck and trailer braking efficiencies.
Note that, as with any portable brake testing device, the BrakeCheck TT is not DVSA-approved for trailer brake testing. To gain DVSA approval a test device must be able to determine whether the wheels have locked up, which is not practically possible with a portable device.
