Roller Brake Tester
Key Benefits

Our car and van brake testers help ensure your workshop remains compliant with DVSA standards while delivering fast, reliable results. With quick installation, accurate brake force measurement, and compatibility with selected 4x4 vehicles, GEMCO brake tester solutions are trusted by MOT stations and professional workshops across the UK.

Find the Right Brake Tester for Your Workshop

Choosing the right brake tester depends on your workshop’s vehicle profile, testing volume, and regulatory requirements. For MOT stations, a connected roller brake tester ensures accurate brake force measurement and compliance with DVSA specifications. For higher-capacity operations, a commercial brake tester may be required to handle heavier axle loads and more demanding usage.

Workshops servicing larger vehicles should consider an HGV brake tester or heavy-duty roller configuration designed to withstand increased stress. Modern systems also integrate with emissions testing and workshop management software, creating a seamless inspection process. Whether surface-mounted or in-ground, selecting the correct brake tester ensures efficiency, safety, and confidence in every test.
