Commercial Vehicle MOT Equipment & ATF Test Lanes
GEMCO delivers commercial vehicle MOT equipment and Authorised Testing Facility (ATF) equipment for heavy goods and commercial vehicle testing across the UK
The DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) regulates commercial vehicle testing standards in the UK. To operate an ATF, all equipment and infrastructure must meet strict compliance criteria covering brake testing, pit construction, calibration, signage and reporting accuracy.
An ATF (Authorised Testing Facility) is a DVSA-approved site where heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), buses and other commercial vehicles are tested. GEMCO provides end-to-end ATF solutions, from initial design and civil construction to installation, commissioning, project management and ongoing servicing.
With decades of experience delivering ATF lanes nationwide, we ensure every installation is fully compliant, GEA ATF approved and built for long-term operational reliability.
