Hodge’s Coaches, a trusted name in passenger transport based in Berkshire for over 100 years, has recently upgraded their workshop capabilities with the installation of Totalkare’s DVSA-approved in-ground brake tester.
Totalkare’s in-ground brake tester is designed to provide precise and efficient brake testing for a range of commercial vehicles. With a maximum axle load capacity of up to 20,000 kg, this robust solution is suitable for even the heaviest vehicles in the Hodge’s Coaches fleet. Its durable design and advanced features ensure reliable performance, while its integration into the workshop streamlines operations, allowing brake tests to be carried out quickly and effectively.
The brake tester provides a convenient and accurate way to test their entire fleet in-house. Therefore, eliminating the need for vehicles and drivers to travel to an external test centre, significantly reducing downtime for Hodge’s Coaches. Time that can now be spent keeping vehicles on the road and earning revenue.
James Phare, Area Sales Manager at Totalkare, said:We’re delighted to support Hodge’s Coaches in enhancing their fleet maintenance capabilities with our brake tester. They are designed to improve safety and efficiency, helping Hodge’s Coaches maintain their fleet with ease.
Mathew Hodge, Engineering Director of Hodge’s Coaches, said:The addition of Totalkare’s brake tester has been fantastic for our workshop. The in-ground brake tester’s rapid testing capabilities allow us to ensure our fleet continues to operate at peak performance for our passengers. James has been instrumental in securing the sale with us and ensuring everything went smoothly.
