At Argent Equipment, we spend our days helping to ensure that commercial vehicle drivers in Ireland operate safely and legally. As well as offering many types of commercial vehicle testing, we also provide plating and labelling services.  

These services are every bit as important as everything else our experts do, as they’re essential in ensuring that vehicles operating in Ireland do so in compliance with all relevant safety standards and regulations.

While offering a broad range of commercial vehicle testing services to our customers across Dublin, we get asked a lot of questions. Through this blog, we try to provide some clarity on common subjects that people want to know more about, and today we look at Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN).

A Certificate of Roadworthiness (CRW) is a key document in Ireland that proves your vehicle has successfully passed commercial vehicle testing. But what happens if yours becomes lost or stolen? Well, that’s what we look into here, so you know what to do.

In addition to the wide-ranging commercial vehicle testing offered from our Dublin workshops, the Argent team also offers tachograph installation, tachograph calibrations and tachograph supply and fit services and it’s a topic we delve into further, as we talk about how to obtain a driver card and where you need to apply.

When you look at the broad range of LCV and HCV testing services we offer at Argent Equipment, you’d be forgiven for thinking that they represent merely a functional and mandatory aspect of operating a commercial vehicle.

At Argent Equipment, we offer a wide range of commercial vehicle testing services which includes the Accord Dangereux Routier test or ADR CVRT. 

This is mandatory for vehicles like fuel tankers and chemical transporters and it checks for roadworthiness, as well as things like hazardous goods labelling, tank integrity, fire extinguishers, emergency kits, and safety equipment compliance.

When providing our comprehensive commercial vehicle testing services, our customers ask us a lot of questions. Because we offer seatbelt testing as part of these broad services, many of these questions concern seat belts and the laws that govern them.

Today, we look at something known as the Commercial Vehicle Operator Risk Indicator (CVORI), which aims to protect the safety of all motorists on Ireland's roads. More specifically, we examine how you can ensure your CVORI rating is the best it can be.

At Argent Equipment, we offer a wide range of commercial vehicle testing from our Dublin workshops, and we regularly bring you blogs like this one to keep our customers informed of what to expect when using our services. Today, we look at the obligations that you have as an HCV operator in Ireland - information that will help your HCV test go more smoothly.

At Argent Equipment, we're known across Dublin for being the go-to company for your HCV CVRT, bus testing, ambulance CVRT and more. As such, when we're not delivering reliable testing services, we're creating blogs like this one to help educate the public about what we do.
