Totalkare Launches DVSA‑Approved Lifting Bed Load Simulation Brake Testers

Totalkare has launched of its new DVSA‑approved lifting bed load simulation brake testers. The new system helps commercial vehicle workshops adapt to the April 2025 changes to brake testing regulations.

Meeting New Brake Testing Requirements

Designed to meet the latest DVSA requirements for loaded brake testing, Totalkare’s lifting bed load simulation system saves operators money. This is due to bringing the essential service in-house, reducing travel time, complicated load calculations and fuel in addition to the service cost.

Brake tests for heavy goods vehicles must now be conducted under load to more accurately reflect actual real-world braking. This is to help improve road safety for all road users. For workshops that do not have quick access to physical loads or laden trailers, a reliable, DVSA‑approved lifting bed load simulation solution is essential to avoid costly external services.

Simulating Vehicle Loads

The new lifting bed load simulation brake tester from Totalkare moves upwards to simulate the load, eliminating the need for external weights, or time‑consuming alternative loading methods. Combined with Totalkare’s advanced brake testing software, the system delivers accurate, repeatable measurements and integrates easily into existing workshop setups.
