Continental's high quality brake testing equipment is sourced from BM Solutions in Denmark, and supported by our own dedicated team of sales managers, engineers and technical service support.
The commercial vehicle play detectors are hydraulically operated and suitable for up to 20,000 kg axle loads, they enable the steering and suspension system to be checked without the need of jacking up the axle.
Play detectors can be installed in-ground or supplied as on-ground units, either split or as a complete application with or without a brake tester.
This consists of two strong steel plates, one for each wheel, which are recessed into the ground. The plates are moved horizontally in 8 different directions by means of a remote control.
The remote control itself features both an integrated flashlight functionality and a keypad to control each movement of the plates.
The operator can choose to control each movement manually or automatically, all automatic movements are stopped by pressing any key on the remote control unit.
The power unit is usually installed in a purpose made cavity in the wall of an inspection pit.

The on-ground play detector can be supplied as a single unit model (as the image illustrates), which can be either part of a brake tester or a separate piece of equipment, as well as a split bed, which can be installed on-ground across an inspection pit.
