TCI Celebrates Success of B400T-Equipped Shop |
When
TCI Tire Centers' Omaha location celebrated its annual open house, much
of the day's activity centered around the tire retailer's recently acquired
Hunter B400T Heavy-Duty
Brake Tester. The invitation encouraged customers to bring their trucks
in for a free computerized brake test, and many did. Installed in late 2002,
TCI reports that the B400T has been an outstanding performer and provides
key support for recently established service contracts that include UPS,
the city of Omaha and the U.S. Postal Service. |
The Hunter B400T provides TCI customers with a complete truck and trailer
brake performance inspection in seconds. |

City of Indianapolis Employs
Hunter Brake Testing Technology for Safety and Efficiency |
A Hunter B400T is the last stop for heavy-duty vehicles transiting
this Indianapolis inspection and maintenance facility. |
The
city of Indianapolis cited safety and efficiency as its motivation for adding
Hunter brake testing technology to its vehicle maintenance program. Transit
buses, waste management trucks and fire engines now pass over a Hunter
B400T Heavy-Duty Brake Tester as part of routine maintenance.
A B400-equipped inspection lane performs the same service for city
police cars and passenger vehicles. Suspension and shocks are tested on
a Hunter SA400 Suspension Analyzer. A Hunter SS100
Sideslip Meter tests alignment. Soon after the installation, city technicians
isolated misalignment and worn shocks as the cause of persistent and excessive
police vehicle tire wear. An aggressive alignment and undercar maintenance
program was added to the service schedule. |
