Brake & Trailer Testing

Tilly Your Trailer – Tilly Pass

A relatively new player in trailer safety, the Tilly Pass scheme was borne out of the loss of 19-year-old farmworker, Harry Christian-Allan in 2014. The business Harry was working for was found guilty of failing to maintain it’s road equipment and ensure the health & safety of its employees.

The Tilly Pass inspection has rapidly been adopted across the UK. The Tilly Pass inspection is an annual 18-point test carried out by certified technicians to bring your trailer in line with legal requirements under the PUWER 98 Regulations. There are also Apps available for the daily checks and are backed by most major trailer manufacturers in the UK.

BAGMA BrakeSafe

Research commissioned by the HSE into the safety of Agricultural trailed vehicles revealed a significant deficit in braking efficiency among the majority of vehicles tested. The Agricultural industry recognised the test equipment and procedure utilised in this research and it became the approved brake efficiency test.

We hold the certification and equipment required to conduct brake efficiency testing utilising the BAGMA BRAKESAFE system. Should your requirements exceed that of inspection, please speak with us regarding a calibrated and industry recognised test.

Experts have found that brake testing and making relatively low-cost improvements are extremely valuable in preventing accidents while also helping to reduce overall servicing costs.
