B400T/SS100T Brake and Sideslip Testers

B400T Brake Tester

Measures Brake Balance on Multi-Axle Vehicles in 60 Seconds or Less!

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.


Drive the vehicle onto plates and apply the brakes. Precision load cells automatically measure braking forces and dynamic weight. As each axle is tested, results are displayed on the color monitor. Results are automatically stored and can be printed out at the end of the test . . . all in 60 seconds or less!
Measures Weight Shift During Braking

The B400T takes into account the rear-to-front weight shift that occurs during braking, resulting in a more accurate evaluation of brake system condition and emergency stopping ability than roller-type testers.

Hunter B400T Identifies Conditions Affecting Brake System Performance
  • 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.
