| What people are saying about us: |
| |
| "BRAKE SAFE takes the guesswork out of brake adjustment...because the three indicator pins are brightly coloured, they are easily visible just by looking underneath the power unit or trailer...the whole process takes just a few minutes, meaning substantial cost saving in both time and money, especially with heavy fines for out-of-adjustment brakes." |

| "BRAKE SAFE'S stroke indicators are the only way to go for guaranteed, accurate brake adjustments. The devices are inexpensive and easy to install. The actually make daily inspections practical. With the increasing concern and publicity around truck safety, Brake Safe is insurance against safety incidents, road side detentions and bad publicity. I recommend Brake Safe's system for any fleet, large or small." |

| "BRAKE SAFE takes the guesswork out of air brake adjustment. The three reference pins are easily visible without having to crawl under the truck. Brake Safe helps our drivers communicate more efficiently with our maintenance staff. Pre-trip inspections are easier and faster to complete. The rugged design and flexibility in adjustment makes Brake Safe the right choice for on and off road use." |

Benefits
|
|
|
- Visually determine whether air brakes are in or out of adjustment before taking to the road.
- Brake Safe® promotes balanced braking in normal and emergency situations.
Reduces the potential for “jack knife” situations”.
- Reduction in the potential loss of control of vehicles and trailers due to air brakes out of adjustment or other identifiable faults in the foundation brake system. *(See Maintenance and diagnostic aid)
- Pro-active approach to the number one safety concern within the transportation industry.
|
- Maintenance and Diagnostic Aid
|
- Reliable diagnostic tool.
- Quickly and accurately identifies air brake chambers that are in or out of adjustment, or are at best marginal.
- Identify weak or broken emergency brake springs.
- Identify worn, defective or seized automatic or manual slack adjusters.
Identify slack adjusters that have not been correctly set up.
- Identify cracked or out of round brake drums.
- Identify air chambers that need adjustment to maintain balanced braking.
|
|
- Provide a fast accurate visual indication of brake stroke travel for drivers, mechanics and DOT inspectors.
- Eliminates down time of drivers and equipment due to roadside detainment by the DOT for air brakes out of adjustment of other identifiable faults in the foundation brake system. *(See Maintenance and diagnostic aid)
- Eliminates mechanics adjusting air brakes needlessly.
- Increases operational efficiency of drivers and equipment permitting more delivery time.
- Increases the efficiency of mechanics.
- Brake Safe® will extend the operational life of slack adjusters. The more times a slack adjuster is adjusted, the shorter its life cycle.
|
|
- The diagnostic capabilities of Brake Safe® greatly reduce a mechanic’s shop time trouble shooting and repairing air brake problems and other faults in the foundation brake system. Reducing shop time will save thousands of dollars annually in a maintenance budget.
- Proper pre trip inspections for air brake stroke travel and emergency spring brakes take approximately 20 minutes to complete. With Brake Safe® the inspections take less than 5 minutes.
- Providing a fast accurate visual indication of brake stroke travel will reduce a driver’s mandatory pre and post trip inspection time. This increases the driver’s productivity, the efficiency of your trucks and trailers and improves just-in-time (JIT) deliveries.
- Reliable JIT increases customer confidence, customer retention and enables more delivery loads per month.
- Identification of properly adjusted air brakes eliminates the time spent by mechanics needlessly readjusting air brakes and eliminates driver and equipment down time saving man-hours.
- Brake Safe® eliminates roadside detainment and down time for the driver and the truck and trailer due to a DOT inspection that finds out of adjustment air brakes.
- Brake Safe® eliminates fines and lost CVOR points for brakes found out of adjustment by the DOT.
- Brake Safe® promotes balanced braking. Balanced braking extends tire life providing more miles per tire.
- Balanced braking reduces the potential for “jack knife” situations and loss of control of the truck or trailer resulting in a reduction of accidents, property damage claims and liability claims.
