Insurance premium savings may be as much as 10-15% on trucks or fleets with this brake monitoring system installed.
Primary savings is saving shop time factored at $125 hr.
- Problem diagnosis between driver & mechanic: estimated time ½ hr.
- Truck diagnosis of actual brake problem. To evaluate problem brake(s): minimum 1.5 hrs of mechanic’s time.
- Pull and prep new brake parts: depends on distance from the shop, parts availability, size of room, & organization of parts room. The following lists the install time of various parts:
- Brake chamber: 1 hour.
- Slack adjuster itself: 30-40 minutes
- Air valves. Due to the various types of air valves, R&R takes any where from 1 – 2 hours
- Truck down-time savings. There are few actual times allocated to the below listed tasks as time management falls under the Shop Manager/Foreman responsibility and the company’s CFO.
Our system allows you to pre-plan your truck & trailer’s brake maintenance needs.
- Prevents overstocking
- Will reduce the number of “surprise” brake equipment failures on the road.
- Depending on truck’s location at time of brake failure reduce mechanic’s road-call time: 3 hours to include travel time & mechanic’s time to fix the problem.
- Our system provides you with preplanned brake maintenance.
- Diagnostic time easily cut in half. The system will show you which brake has the problem.
- Telematic compliant, per type of interface: e.g. Qualcomm, Motorola, RF, or?
Custom Software Programming Can Reduce Accident Liability:
We can program your system’s software to meet your needs. The system may be individually programmed to save data in memory, i.e. if pre-trip checks were conducted or store an operator's braking habits to determine if further operator brake/braking training is needed. The software can also save in memory, an operator’s braking pattern to include 5 seconds to the actual occurrence of an accident. The software is designed to have memory to span whatever duration of time you may require.
