Liftmaster details the BM53000 play detector
Said to be robust, intuitive and user-friendly, CVW hears all about the BM53000 play detector from Liftmaster.
Not all play detectors are made equal, and the BM53000 is certainly a great example of that. But what makes the BM53000 stand out?
Operator control that just makes sense: The BM53000 uses a wireless handheld remote with integrated LEDs, thus giving technicians complete freedom of movement, unlike any other. Forget fixed control panels or cable-restricted devices; this allows for real-time observation of components under stress, even in low-light conditions.
Powerful and precise: Delivering longstroke, multi-directional movement with a high force output, in eight different directions as directed by the operator, it reveals play in the most stubborn or hidden of components. Whilst some play detectors fall short when it comes to force or range, the BM53000 simply doesn’t, this ensures thorough inspections every time.
Robust: Built for harsh, high-use environments with a fully hot galvanised surface, the BM53000 is designed for longevity and resilience, aiming to make it one of the most robust play detectors on the market. A perfect investment for busy ATFS and fleet workshops.
Flexible installation options: In-ground or surface mounted, the unit is adaptable to whatever your requirements may be. It can be used as a standalone system or integrated with a BM brake tester, ideal for a complete test lane. At only 15cm high, this is a lower profile solution than most manufacturers offer. This level of flexibility says to put the BM53000 ahead of rigid, single-use systems.
Fast setup, minimal maintenance: Time is money. The BM53000 is plug-and-play with minimal maintenance. Its closed hydraulic system reduces the risk of leakage – aiming to ensure smooth, powerful movement without the need for constant adjustment or downtime.
DVSA-approved: DVSA approval isn’t just about ticking the compliance box. It gives operators the confidence that the equipment meets the highest UK inspection standards, ensuring that each vehicle inspection is carried out with the same level of accuracy demanded by national regulations. For those testing stations looking to maintain or upgrade their DVSA status, the BM53000 provides a no-compromise solution.
Designed for efficiency: Speed and reliability are non-negotiable for busy ATFs; that’s why the BM53000 is engineered to keep ATF lanes moving with minimal downtime. Its robust hydraulic system, intuitive controls and the wireless remote for single-operator use says to cut labour time without compromising on accuracy. Whether you’re conducting MOT’s, annual tests or pre-inspections, the system seamlessly integrates into your workflow, making it a go-to tool for increasing throughout without sacrificing performance.
In summary, if you’re looking to upgrade your test lane, the BM53000 is a serious contender. It outperforms many of its rivals in every category thanks to its quality build, high-performance hydraulics and user-first design. In a market flooded with outdated solutions, the BM53000 is a product that genuinely enhances the inspection process whilst ensuring compliance with current DVSA standards without compromise.
The Liftmaster BM53000 is our most recommended solution for commercial workshops looking for high-quality products that enhance workflow whilst remaining compliant with current DVSA standards.
