Keeping Drivers Safe With 12 Week Maintenance Inspections
Annual HCV testing is an important component of Ireland’s mechanism for ensuring that all heavy goods vehicles are safe on the roads. However, responsible HGV operators complement this annual check with daily walkarounds and 12-week maintenance inspections carried out by companies like ours.
This preventative maintenance for any truck or trailer does not simply involve getting the vehicle in question into the workshop and carrying out a service. Instead, it’s about spotting components that look like they may experience failure or malfunction in the near future.
By systematically conducting these checks every 3 months, owners are able to correct failures before they’ve had a chance to turn into major issues that might impact on the roadworthiness of the vehicle. At Argent Equipment, we offer 12 week inspections which include the following:
Examination of the vehicle’s underbody
Checking of the truck’s suspension components
Assessment of its steering system functions
A Visual check of the condition of the powertrain
An inspection of the cab’s interior & exterior
The vehicle’s bodywork
The vehicle’s lighting and Electrical systems
Presented weight roller brake test
Once the test has been completed, our team will present you with a detailed RSA Compliant report via email and you can take whatever measures you need to in order to correct anything that’s picked up.
