The components of an ATL

Major components of a traditional MOT facility have been supplemented or modified to meet ATL requirements.

Brake testers must be able to operate and assess vehicle brakes automatically and to a visually prompted procedure. The results will be used in conjunction with a weighing system to provide true, actual brake efficiency values.

Play detection equipment must be provided with the lift or pit that will place the vehicle suspension under a known and consistent level of duress.

Headlamp testers must be able to provide clear images of the headlamp beam for all current vehicle types, including hi -energy (Xenon) or complex headlamp systems (beams shaped by the reflector).

It is feasible for an ATL type MOT test to be carried out by one person. To achieve this, the mandatory equipment requirements also include a brake pedal depressor and system of mirrors to enable the examiner to view all aspects of a vehicle from a single position.

Automated Test Lanes

The Trade Group is able to offer what is arguably the most comprehensive range of ATL equipment available. The MAHA product range represents the cutting edge of ATL technology from a manufacturer widely regarded by many as the international leader in this field. The Trademaster package is designed to provide a flexible, well specified but cost effective alternative for those with a smaller budget.

Each item in the Trademaster MOT package has been selected for its excellent build quality, reliability, and all-round value for money, from today's leading equipment manufacturers. At the heart of the package is the excellent Rotary 4 post lift with recessed turntables ant the MAHA roller brake tester with heavy-duty roller bed. The package is completed with a high quality jacking beam and Trademaster headlamp tester.
