BM18200 Lifting Bed Roller Brake Tester
About BM18200 Lifting Bed Roller Brake Tester
The BM18200 Lifting Bed Roller Brake Tester from Levanta is an advanced in-ground brake testing solution designed for both light and heavy vehicles with axle loads up to 20,000 kg.
As a product of Denmark, it features a unique hydraulic load simulation system, which allows the roller bed to be lifted using four hydraulic cylinders, ensuring precise load simulation without the need for slings.
- Robust construction of hot galvanised steel, an integral motorised gearbox, and a wear-resistant mesh steel roller surface for long-lasting durability.
- The BM18200 incorporates advanced software for easy operation, including BM FlexCheck, which allows for single operator use from the cab of the vehicle using a tablet.
- Software has built-in safety features protecting the vehicle and operator during the brake test.
- Supports retrofitting into most existing subframes without the need for extensive civil work, making it a versatile and cost-effective solution for modern heavy vehicle workshops.
The BM18200 enhances workshop efficiency and precision for large fleets and truck dealers as well as our light vehicle customers.

Product Features
Retrofit without civil work into existing subframes
The design of the BM18200 allows the roller bed to be retrofitted into most popular subframes without need of civil works. This includes both older BM brake tester models (with the exception of the BM14200 sub frame), and those from other companies.
Robust lifting-bed design
BM Autoteknik A/S was the first company to develop a lifting roller bed brake tester in 1979 (today known as model BM17200). The BM18200 design is based on over 40 years of experience with this kind of roller brake tester.
The durability of the hydraulic lifting system is enhanced by an integrated control system. This feature balances the vertical lifting movement and prevents the roller bed from being twisted during lifting when the axle is not fully centralised in the roller bed.
The BM18200 is hot galvanised for optimal protection against corrosion. It is additionally equipped with heavy duty bearings, gear motors designed for load simulated brake tests and strong shock-absorbers for controlling the centre roller. This combination ensures high reliability and low maintenance cost over the lifetime of the brake tester.
BM FlexCheck Windows Software
The BM18200 is supplied with a Windows PC, Colour Laser Printer and a Windows based Tablet PC. The BM Assist guide allows users to easily and efficiently test a multi-axle vehicle in a matter of minutes. The system can be equipped with an optional external flat screen display if required.
The PC and Tablet allow for easy configuration and management of vehicles, as well as recording all completed tests. The database is searchable so you can recall every test for a specific vehicle or customer and re-print the results.
Tablet PC Control
The included tablet enables single-man operation, and is designed to be easily read and interpreted during the test. It displays a gauge with a double brake force scale from 0 – 8 kN and 0 to 40 kN. In addition to the Analogue gauges, the brake force is also displayed digitally. The tablet provides live display of weight, efficiency, imbalance, ovality and can also display a graph of brake force over time to give the user a visual indication of brake performance.
Additional Load Simulation Options
In some applications it is not sufficient to lift the roller bed alone. In situations where a greater weight is needed, the BM18200 can be supplied with a Chassis Load Simulation system, consisting of either cassettes mounted in the C-tracks on the pit edges or consisting of skates mounted on I-steel tracks in the pit floor. Each cassette or skate is fitted with a 5 ton hydraulic cylinder, which pulls down the chassis or axle to simulate the load. Alternatively, the BM18200 can be supplied with passive cassettes or skates, where the chassis or axle is simply attached via slings and the load simulation is obtained by lifting the BM18200 roller bed.
Available Product Accessories
The BM35000F in-ground play detector consists of a power unit and 2 heavy galvanised steel plates, driven by hydraulic rams. The powerful in-ground shakers can reveal even the smallest amount of play in a vehicle’s suspension and steering components.
Axle Load Simulation
In addition to Levanta’s range of Roller Brake Testers, BM has developed a number of different load simulation systems for heavy vehicles, ranging from conventional axle load simulation, to the unique chassis load simulation system.
Prefabricated Inspection Pit
Brake Testers can be installed either in front of, or split with a test bed on either side of the Prefab Inspection Pit, providing easy access to fit the Load Simulation chains or to use the Shakers to prevent having to crawl under the vehicle.
