Simret - Model 4000 - Portable Heavy Vehicle Brake Tester
From Off-Road Vehicle Compliance
Simret 4000 is the latest portable brake tester for off-road vehicles. It is small and lightweight, with a large, backlit screen and comes with a detachable printer, which can communicate with several instruments. The instrument is ideally suited to the brake ratio method of testing for rubber-tyred vehicles in quarries, open cast coal sites and mines. It records average brake ratio, test incline, speed and stopping distance. Data and graphs can both be printed and shown on screen. The brake ratio is measured independently of gradient and speed, allowing tests to take place anywhere.

The Simret 4000 is the latest member of the Turnkey family of heavy vehicle brake testers. It is ideally suited for the brake ratio method of brake testing, recommended as best practice in the latest ‘Guidance on brake testing for rubbertyre vehicles operating in quarries, open cast coal sites and mines’ (published in May 2007 by EPIC in conjunction with OPERC and the UK Health and Safety Executive, ISBN 978 0 947974 62 6).
The Simret 4000 module is small enough to squeeze into the tightest cab and is operated via one simple interactive control. It’s also the world’s first Bluetooth enabled brake tester, which means no messy cables are required to connect the brake pedal trigger pad or printer.
The Simret 4000 printer will wirelessly produce a printed record of the average brake ratio, test incline, the brake delay time, the speed when braking was initiated, the stopping distance and the brake ratio/time graph. Moreover, the graphical display screen can quickly show whether the brake ratio reaches a plateau level as recommended by the above guidance document.
