Brake maintenance can be a tedious process, but it is extremely important. The good news is that yet again, Vehicle Inspection Systems has another product to automate a labor-heavy task. Introducing the BrakeMate™ brake maintenance system, a device designed to service heavy vehicle disc brake systems and reduce manual lifting.

Minimize service time and save money with the patent-pending BrakeMate™.  Vehicle Inspection Systems is the exclusive distributor of the BrakeMate™, which is manufactured by the Tulip Corporation, a company engineering products for more than 75 years.

Vehicle Inspection Systems will showcase BrakeMate™ at upcoming trade shows including WASTECON and the Great American Trucking Show. If you’d like to see the BrakeMate™ in person, stop by our booths (#1034 at WASTECON; #23118 at Great American Trucking Show).

“As part of our commitment to the trucking industry, the BrakeMate™ will reduce maintenance time,” Mark Keegans, Vice President of VIS, said. “This drastically reduces heavy lifting, which will result in less potential for injury and free up a mechanic’s time. Our mission has always been to make dangerous and difficult repair tasks easier and more automated. BrakeMate™ does exactly that!”

The BrakeMate™ assembles back on your truck safely and efficiently with the unit’s hydraulic lift.

We are excited to attend the Great American Trucking Show in Dallas this summer (2016).  From Thursday, August 25 through Saturday, August 27, Vehicle Inspection Systems will be at booth 23118.
