How to achieve swift trailer checks
Carrying out comprehensive trailer checks can be a time consuming and dirty job but John Grindey, general sales manager, Dr Air Brake, believes he has the answer.
When it comes to working on trailers chances are you’re having to wait for the tractor unit and it’s late! Imagine being able to get on with the job there and then.
Let me introduce our Van Trailer Check. It is the ultimate companion for service technicians who need swift and reliable diagnostics, especially in time-sensitive situations. This compact unit allows you to conveniently test all lighting, ABS-EBS, CAN circuits, and the complete air brake system on trailers – all in one go! No more waiting for tractor units or dealing with diesel fumes. Connecting the unit’s air and electrical lines to the trailer is simplicity itself. Functionality is facilitated through the utilisation of the technician’s vehicle batteries (24V system) or via a mains PSU (110V and 240V), ensuring operational adaptability based on the prevailing power availability. With the wireless remote, you can read live air pressures and operate brakes from under the trailer, ensuring a hassle-free diagnostic experience.

In conjunction with the Van Trailer Check is our Code Talk II, which is a must-have for mechanics working on trailers. This innovative product communicates via CAN lines to access ABS-EBS ECU memory, reading and clearing faults effortlessly.

It will also serve as a radio remote control to our Van Trailer Check and Trailer Check, making the Code Talk II your go-to solution for efficient diagnostics on trailers and brakes from the comfort of your van.
