Tecalemit have announced the introduction of their latest generation of heavy duty commercial vehicle brake tester. The all new DE 9700 range is the first brake tester to be manufactured that has been specifically designed from the ground up to meet the UK ATF testing requirements. Martyn Quick, Tecalemit Product Manager outlined some of the core features of the new brake tester.

‘This is a true heavy duty brake tester, all other  machines marketed in the UK have been initially developed for use in other, mainly European, markets where testing procedures are different, and certainly less rigorous than the UK testing requirements. Add to this the ‘conveyor belt’ type testing of a busy ATF and the need for a massively robust machine becomes evident.’

The new DE 9700 builds on Tecalemit’s unique experience of over 40 years experience in the field of commercial vehicle brake testing and includes 15Kw motors with a ‘soft start’ to reduce electro-dynamic stress which will extend the life of motors and gearbox components. The DE 9700 will continue to feature Tecalemit’s large LED results display screen which provides a clear graphic display of the test process and brake force values. The brake tester can be supplied in 2 man or 1 man operation format and has the added benefit of VOSA approval for ATL testing of Class IV and VII vehicles.

Tecalemit enjoyed a good CV Show 2012 in Birmingham’s NEC from the 24-26th April. Space was occupied on two different stands and much equipment was on display. Visitors to the stand were able to chat with our knowledgeable and experienced salesmen.

Sales and Marketing Director Philip Cledwyn said:-

“The show was well attended by exhibitors. We were able to display and demonstrate our new 5.5t Finkbeiner lifts which were very well received. We also showed our new Bio Parts washer and demonstrated from the stand the Bio cleanup system, a very green and super effective way of clearing up chemical spills. Our second stand housed our workshop equipment and lots of interest was shown in our new TTC555SL tyre changer which comes complete with a lever less lifting system, tecno roller system and helper arm. It was powered on the stand by one of our new Michelin compressors”

After several months of detailed and intensive work Tecalemit Garage Equipment was confirmed as an official City and Guilds Training Centre on the 6th January. Tecalemit is now approved to provide a Level 3 Certificate in Mobile Air Conditioning Systems. This Certificate has three levels, the initial F-Gas qualification (licence to practice) that is already provided, a Service Technician Qualification and a Diagnostic Technician Qualification.

Since June of 2010 Tecalemit has been providing the F-Gas Qualification through the IMI Awards Scheme to customers with A/C servicing equipment. Following the success of the program, it was decided that the company should develop its capacity to deliver training to end users and to establish a formal structure through which all training is managed.
Gaining the accreditation is a significant achievement for the company and provides a platform to genuinely contribute to the quality of vehicle servicing in the UK. The new Training Department is officially registered with City & Guilds under the title of: Tecalemit Training College (trainingcollege@tecalemit.co.uk) and has 3 nationally based Approved Assessors.

Its not the first time that training has been offered from Tecalemit; older garage equipment fans may recall the Tecalemit Training School for Chauffeurs and Mechanics (1932) in Acton and the Tecalemit Student Engineer Training Scheme (1940’s to late 1950’s) in Plymouth.
