B400T/SS100T Brake and Sideslip Testers

The Hunter B400T utilizes PC-based technology to measure braking forces for every brake on multi-axle vehicles such as tandem-axle tractors, tractors and semi-trailers, and two-axle vehicles, including passenger cars, buses and light trucks.

• Axle-to-Axle Imbalance
  During braking, the stronger axle will lock up first, resulting in loss of steering control or jack-knifing.
  
• Left-to-Right Imbalance
  Can cause “pulling” to the stronger side during braking, resulting in a skid. Also detects single weak brakes.
  
• Test Parking or Emergency Brakes
  The B400T can test mechanical brakes on a straight truck and spring brakes on an air brake system.
  
• Dynamic Weight and Deceleration
  Load cells measure dynamic weight of the axles during braking, and the system calculates vehicle deceleration.
  
• Static Weight
  Works as a scale, with accuracy of +/- 2 percent.
  
• Adhesion Utilization
  Tells the technician if each brake is doing its fair share of the braking.
  
• Can Test Fully Loaded Vehicles
  Single-, tandem- or triple-axle weight can be tested with a full load.

Utilizes State-of-the-Art Technology

1. Console houses a powerful PC-based computer, providing instant test results.

2. Results are displayed on the console’s 19” or 17” color monitor.

3. Premium color printer is standard equipment, mounts in console.

4. Sensor microprocessors digitally transfer information to and from the computer. Sensors have no moving parts, ensuring reliability.

5. Measurement system is recessed into the shop floor to prevent distortion under the weight of heavy vehicles.

6. Heavy-duty steel grating provides traction for proper testing, even when tires are slippery from inclement weather.

Optional Signal Light helps the operator stop correctly every time. Green light means tester is ready; light then goes from yellow to red indicating it is time to stop. (Part # 20-967-1)
