What Are Slip Slide Testers?

Slip Slide Testers, also known as Side Slip Testers, are essential diagnostic tools used with MOT testing station garage equipment to evaluate the alignment of vehicle wheels. They are designed to identify any deviation in wheel alignment from the vehicle's direction of travel. By driving the vehicle over the tester platform, the device can measure lateral wheel movement to determine the extent of side slip. This measurement is crucial for the correct wheel alignment, ensuring the vehicle handles safely and efficiently.

Why Are They Important?

Proper wheel alignment is critical for the safety and performance of any vehicle. It affects the handling, tyre wear, and fuel efficiency. Side Slip Testers enable MOT testers to verify that a vehicle's wheel alignment adheres to safety standards. By ensuring wheels are properly aligned, these testers help reduce the risk of accidents caused by poor handling. Furthermore, they aid in prolonging tyre life and optimising fuel consumption, providing both safety and economic benefits.

Key Features:

• Side Slip Tester for Cars/LGVs: Perfect for regular and light commercial vehicles, ensuring their alignment meets the stringent standards set for personal and light goods transport.

• Side Slip Tester for Commercial Vehicles: Specifically designed for heavier vehicles, robustly constructed to handle the extra weight and wear typical of commercial use.

What To Know:
