Our experience and dedicated team means the HOFMANN brand has an unparalleled reputation for providing the highest quality, excellent value and great service.

AUTOMATED TEST LANEHOFMANN’s modernised, wirelessly-operated and tablet-enabled ATL is an industry-leading, DVSA-approved automated test lane system for one-person operated MOT testing for class IV and VII with the optional class I, II, III and class VL ability.

At the heart of the HOFMANN ATL is the geogas 5000, with a large 27-inch monitor providing clear visible information in your workshop. On top of that you have the convenience of the bay being completely wireless and being able to work via a tablet.

This allows you to use the tablet to enter the results for the individual tests on the DVSA form as well as it being the driver for the brake and emissions test. Using the tablet means you can easily see the live readings without having to leave the vehicle. Your results can then be wirelessly sent to a printer that can be located anywhere in your garage. Individual customer vehicle details, data and test results can be stored for recall at any time.

Using Windows-based, icon-driven software, the HOFMANN ATL requires minimum training for the test to be completed. Test procedures can be performed in fully automatic mode or manually.

The geogas 5000 includes a wireless smoke head (Class A\Class B approved), a wireless RPM and oil temperature measurement device as well as a ripple\battery measurement function. Plus we have extended the capability of our emissions range to now include a new wireless EOBD RPM, oil temperature trigger device for diesel testing.

This device allows triggering of low emission diesel vehicles RPM and oil temperature by simply plugging the adaptor into the EOBD port in the vehicle and the readings will be wirelessly transmitted back to the workstation. This new method has been officially approved.

The brake rollers have a fully galvanised steel chassis for maximum protection against corrosion, and have been designed for installation into a dedicated recess. The unique dimpled rollers provide better grip in wet tyre conditions ensuring accurate brake testing and diagnosis.

The 4 post lift comes with rear slip plates and turnplates built in as standard, along with a long 5.2m or 5.7m platform length. This high quality lift goes through a rigorous 66-point check procedure before it is even despatched to you for installation by our expert installation team.

ONE PERSON TEST LANE (OPTL)The HOFMANN One Person Test Lane is a great opportunity for your garage if you already have an existing MOT Bay in your workshop. By upgrading your MOT Bay to a One Person Test Lane you can dramatically reduce your labour costs per MOT. That means you’ll only need to take one technician into the bay to test rather than two, resulting in better efficiency in your workshop.

A HOFMANN One Person Test Lane can use one of our standard ATL lifts or we have a special version that fits the majority of existing MOT lift recesses.

HOFMANN BRAKE TESTERThe new generation of HOFMANN Brake Testers now uses a solid state motor control system and for new HOFMANN ATL lanes includes wireless connectivity to the PC. With the wireless connectivity option between the roller chassis control box and the PC you have the flexibility to place your PC/display in the most convenient place in the workshop for testing (within the required range). The elimination of cables reduces the cause of trip hazards and wire damage.

There are two chassis options available:700mm rollers have a drive over capacity of up to 4000kg (800Kgf brake force) and can be used for MOT class I, II, III, and IV. 1000mm rollers have a drive over capacity up to 6000KG (1250Kgf brake force) and can be used for MOT class I, II, III, IV, VL and VII. (class I and II require optional adaptor plate). The chassis are built from fully galvanised steel for long life and roller covers as standard. The dimpled roller surface is designed to offer protection to tyres whilst giving a coefficient similar to the road surface, allowing for accurate and repeatable results wet or dry. The roller brake surface also includes a 10-year warranty.

The graphical user interface is designed for ease of use and simulates the well known meter displays from the older analogue units whilst including all the benefits of modern technology and the latest ATL test procedure and manual brake testing functions. The weighing system allows weighing by wheel (standard on ATL, optional on non-ATL) as well as the auto sensing 4x4 option as standard.

HOFMANN Brake Testers are supplied with a 21-inch monitor, laser printer and database for saving test results as standard.
