Brake testers constitute a specialised category of machinery within the automotive workshop equipment sector. They are available in a variety of designs, power ratings and configurations.
They are characterised by different control systems, performance levels and degrees of automation. Modern models often offer digital interfaces, maintenance monitoring and energy efficiency features.
Leading suppliers include Bosch, Hofmann, Beissbarth and Hunter, alongside a number of specialist engineering firms.
Brake test benches are used in automotive workshops, body shops and service centres. Users range from small tradesmen and medium-sized production facilities to industrial mass production. Key selection criteria include performance, installation space, energy consumption, operating concept and the availability of spare parts at the site.
