Unitruck Services has strengthened its workshop capabilities at its new Birmingham site with the installation of an 18,000kg capacity in-ground brake tester with tachograph from Totalkare.

Designed to streamline vehicle testing and diagnostics, Totalkare’s in-ground brake tester provides reliable brake testing, suitable for a wide range of commercial vehicles. With an 18,000kg axle load capacity and integrated tachograph calibration functionality, the system enables the Unitruck Services team to carry out essential compliance checks efficiently and accurately, reducing vehicle downtime and supporting DVSA standards.

In addition to the brake tester, Unitruck Services has also purchased a set of T8DC cable-free mobile column lifts to replace its existing S6CF column lifts. The T8DC lifts offer superior mobility, faster setup, and improved operational flexibility thanks to their cable-free configuration, making them ideal for workshops handling varied fleet maintenance requirements. This latest investment follows the earlier acquisition of a heavy-duty four post lift for another Birmingham site earlier this year, demonstrating Unitruck Services’ commitment to continuous workshop development and enhanced service provision.

Kevin Brown of Unitruck Services commented on the upgrade:

As our Birmingham operations continue to grow, it’s essential that we equip our workshops with reliable, industry-leading technology. The in-ground brake tester and T8DC column lifts from Totalkare give our team the tools they need to work more efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance.

Totalkare Area Sales Manager, George Georgiou, added:

Unitruck Services has always been committed to investing in quality equipment to support its expanding operation, and we’re delighted to continue supplying them with solutions that enhance productivity and capability. The combination of the in-ground brake tester and T8DC mobile column lifts will futureproof their new workshop and help ensure first-class vehicle testing and maintenance for years to come.
