AMAGLUG GLUG chooses MAHA

We all know that SASOL is one of South Africa’s leading chemical and energy brands with over 400 service stations nationwide. They recently selected MAHA for the installation of a load simulation roller brake tester and side slip (scuff) gauge at their Alrode workshop.

When SASOL went to market in search of a Fuel & Gas compliant roller brake tester, with load simulation capabilities for loaded brake tests, MAHA was the obvious choice.

The SASOL installation includes:
• MBT 4250 Raising Roller Brake Tester – Designed to test brake efficiency (N/kg) of axle loads up to 13ton, 5ton load simulation, measure GVM, wheel and axle weights with accuracy, test for brake disk binding, measure warped disk or drum ovality.
• MINC II Side Slip Tester – Providing fast, accurate toe alignment measurements to reduce tyre wear, improve handling, and enhance overall vehicle safety.

We are incredibly proud to have completed this project with Sasol - a partnership that reflects the trust placed in MAHA and the quality of our vehicle testing solutions!🦾
