Upgrade your AutoStop Maxi brake meter to include GPS!

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) QLD is updating a requirement for brake testing.

As of March 2022 it will be mandatory for Approved Examiners to keep a copy of the brake test results, including GPS location, time and date, when undertaking LV, HV and MC inspection types.

To make sure you are compliant, purchase our AutoStop Maxi® brake meter with the upgrade that includes GPS location. If you already have our standard AutoStop Maxi brake meter, you may be able to upgrade to have GPS!

Some of the older brake testers may not be able to, so call our friendly service team to see if yours can be upgraded.

Simply contact us for a quote, along with your serial number, and you can post your AutoStop Maxi to our head office in Kensington, Victoria.

When the brake test is completed, you can print a copy of the test result showing the peak deceleration and attached to your test report.

The AutoStop Heavy® Brake Meter (tester) does not show a “PASS” or “FAIL” as the regulations for a pass or fail are different in every state and territory. Check the regulations in your area to see how it effects your testing requirements.

1. STEP 1: Secure the Heavy in the vehicle with its strap or optional floormounted magnet, in a horizontal position, with the lid open and facing forward. Attach the load cell to the brake pedal to test the service brakes.
2. STEP 2: Turn on the Heavy and enter the examiner’s ID and the vehicle’s registration number. Start the test by accelerating the vehicle to the required speed.
3. STEP 3: Apply the brakes by pressing your foot on the load cell attached to the brake pedal, until the vehicle is stationary.
4. STEP 4: After the vehicle has come to a stop, the Heavy evaluates the brake performance, and displays and prints the test results.

Extend The Capabilities of your Autostop Heavy Brake Meter

NetBrake® software is an optional add-on specifically designed to extend the capabilities of your AutoStop Heavy Brake Meter to a powerful fleet management and reporting tool. This vehicle database and brake test reporting software assists the mining and heavy vehicle industries in Australia to manage brake test records, and brake test Standards and calculations for their fleets.

By upgrading your Brake Meter software, you can set the standard in your area, and it will show a “PASS” or “FAIL”. See the full capabilities of NetBrake® software, and additional inclusions.
