Your Brake Maintenance Operations Made Easy
BrakeMate® has been specially designed to protect mechanics against the risk of workplace accidents: back pain, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and falling heavy objects. With the BrakeMate® elevated service platform, mechanics can carry out the entire braking maintenance process for all heavy vehicles on their own, eliminating all manual lifting during the disc brake maintenance process.
With BrakeMate®, mechanics no longer have to call for assistance lifting heavy components. The process is a one-person operation, reducing service time and saving your company money.
The BrakeMate®E is the second generation of the Original Pneumatic Hydraulic lift BrakeMate® and comprises two trolleys, the Hub/Rotor trolley and the Service Trolley. BrakeMate® E differs by using an Electronic Actuator, providing a silent operation, quicker raising and lowering speeds, no restraints from a plugged-in air hose, higher working height and micro-step controls.
Using the BrakeMate® System
BrakeMate® allows for the quick and easy removal of the callipers, utilising an adjustable clamp mechanism that easily fits callipers mounted anywhere in the three, nine and twelve o’clock arc positions. An adaptor is also available to suit callipers mounted at six o’clock.
Adaptor plates allow for connection to common eight-stud and ten-stud patterns. A manual hydraulic ram separates the hub assembly from the vehicle, and a manually operated ram enables the operator to feel the force being applied.
Once removed from the vehicle, the two trolleys (Hub/Rotor and Service), are mated together, and BrakeMate® then easily separates the rotor from the hub. The used rotor is rolled onto the rack, and the ‘Lazy Susan’ mounted frame is then rotated 180 degrees to allow the new rotor to be moved into position. The unit is then easily refitted to the vehicle.
