Mobile trailer for motor vehicle safety checks - contains facilities for checking steering and braking

Abstract

Abstract Safety checks on motor vehicles, particularly the steering and braking mechanisms are greatly facilitated by using a mobile test equipment properly constructed to receive a vehicle. A mobile trailer (1) carries a working platform (3) which is reaced by two inclined ramps (9, 10). Two tracks supported by jacks (12) extend on the other side of the trailer. These tracks contain compartments (16, 17) for pivoting plates by which the steering can be checked. A sensitive device (73) is displaced by the wheel if it is not set correctly, a reading being given at a control desk (75). The other wheel acts as a stop for this check and stands on a coated platform (76). Geared rollers (29) are connected to a braking test bank (30) mounted on a frame (31).
