- No power supply needed — making it simple to use and highly portable.
- A portable, table-top fixture for accurately verifying brake torque settings on load arrest products.
- Operates with a manual hydraulic system to apply rotational force to the brake.
- Features a central lever and dual hydraulic rams for controlled, repeatable testing every time.
- Compatible with both B and C construction ratchet centres.
- Includes an easy-to-read pressure gauge for precise slip point detection.

Why did we develop it?
- Traditional testing relied on large, costly equipment like Universal Tensile Testers or hoist and load cell setups.
- Many service agents don’t have the space or resources for such equipment.
- We saw the need for a quicker, more accessible solution for verifying brake settings after servicing.
- This fixture makes decentralised servicing more practical by bringing reliable brake testing to more locations.
Why choose the Guard Test Fixture?
- Enables on-site brake verification wherever you need it.
- Compact and portable — fits easily in any workshop and stores away neatly.
- Cuts down setup time compared to traditional test rigs.
- A cost-effective alternative to large, fixed testing systems.
- No electricity or compressed air required — perfect for remote or limited-resource sites.
- Provides quick, clear pass/fail results based on measurable hydraulic pressure.
- Supplied with full user instructions and dedicated product support.
