3-in-1 Vehicle Inspection Line | CTGT-3-4

A 3-in-1 Vehicle Inspection Line combines brake testing, axle-load measurement, and side-slip testing in one coordinated system. The CTGT-3-3 and CTGT-3-3C product information lists these three functions together with computer control, selectable operating modes, and consolidated test reporting.

The principal model difference shown in the technical table is the side-slip configuration. The CTGT-3-3 uses a single-plate arrangement, while the CTGT-3-3C uses a double-plate arrangement. Individual-wheel load measurement is described as an upgrade and should be specified separately from the basic axle-load function.

For workshops and inspection facilities, the configuration provides a way to organize these three measurements within a shared testing and reporting process. The final equipment specification should identify the supported vehicles, measurement definitions, operating procedures, and options included in the supplied system.

Three Inspection Functions in One Line

Vehicle Brake Tester

The vehicle brake tester uses a roller-based arrangement. The product description states a testing speed of up to 2.5 km/h and says that the software can display a brake-force curve during brake application.

The curve provides a view of the recorded brake response during the test. Its interpretation should follow the equipment’s measurement method and the evaluation criteria used for the inspection.

The final technical specification should identify the confirmed brake-force measurement range, the meaning of each reported channel, and the reference basis for measurement-error figures. These definitions are necessary when matching the equipment to a testing program.

The stated testing speed describes a brake-test condition. It should not be used to calculate complete-line throughput without accounting for vehicle positioning, the other inspection items, reporting, and any repeat tests.

Axle Load Tester

The product description combines axle-load measurement with the roller brake-testing arrangement and identifies wheel-load measurement as an available upgrade. The axle load tester function should therefore be specified according to the actual weighing configuration supplied.

For an axle-load configuration, the documentation should explain how the measured position is identified and how the result appears in the software. If individual-wheel values are required, the quotation should explicitly include that capability and its corresponding measurement specifications.

Load measurement also needs its own performance information. The weighing range, units, measurement error, and applicable conditions should be documented separately from the braking specifications.

Where load data is used in a calculated braking indicator, the procedure should identify the required load reference and calculation. Measured axle load, individual-wheel values, and entered vehicle information should retain their distinct meanings in the inspection record.

Side Slip Tester

The side slip tester provides the third inspection function. The product description refers to front-wheel side-slip testing, while the technical table identifies the single-plate and double-plate configurations available across the two models.

The result should be reported using the units and interpretation defined by the selected method. A side-slip reading should not be presented as a complete wheel-alignment assessment or as a diagnosis of a particular steering or suspension component.

For the inspection operator, the useful information is the measured result, the applicable evaluation criteria, and the required follow-up when the result is outside the specified limits.

CTGT-3-3 and CTGT-3-3C Model Comparison

The following specifications are listed in the supplied technical table.

Source: supplied CTGT-3-3 / CTGT-3-3C technical parameter table.

The wider listed side-slip range of the CTGT-3-3C should not be interpreted as better measurement accuracy. Both models list the same side-slip indicating-error figure.

The table also does not establish that the CTGT-3-3C includes individual-wheel weighing as standard. The side-slip configuration and the weighing configuration should be identified separately in the final equipment list.

The ±3% entry appears in the braking section of the source. Its reference basis needs clarification, and it should not be reused as an axle-load weighing-accuracy specification.

Computer Control and Operating Modes

The product description lists computer control with manual single-station, semi-automatic, and fully automatic test-operation modes. It also mentions adjustable detection and judgment values and the ability to accommodate software requirements.

The delivered operating procedure should define the activities covered by each mode. These may involve measurement acquisition, sequencing, evaluation, and reporting, depending on the confirmed software configuration.

Operator responsibilities and vehicle movement should be specified separately. The operating-mode names should be supported by a demonstration of the actual workflow supplied with the equipment.

For a facility evaluating this vehicle testing equipment, the key question is how the selected mode fits its inspection process. The supplier should explain which steps require operator input and which are completed by the system.

Test Reports and Record Retrieval

The stated reporting functions include automatic result evaluation and printing, a consolidated report for configured tests, and searches of test data and records by time, license plate, and vehicle model. The software description also includes a brake-force curve display.

A sample report should be reviewed before the software scope is finalized. It should make the measured values, units, evaluated items, and resulting status understandable to the inspection operator.

Where a calculated result uses load data, the relationship between the load measurement and the brake test should be identifiable. Any manually entered information should also remain distinguishable from instrument measurements.

Configurable evaluation values need to match the intended test method and inspection requirements. If the project requires a particular report format, data export, or external-system connection, that requirement should be stated explicitly.

Software customization should be agreed as part of the delivery scope, including the functions to be demonstrated during acceptance.

Optional Equipment and Upgrade Paths

The product information lists several additions that can be configured with the three-in-one line:

Headlight tester.

Gas analyzer.

Opacimeter.

Sound level meter.

Monitoring camera.

Networking interface.

These are described as additional equipment or interfaces and should be identified separately from the three core inspection functions.

The description also mentions upgrade paths for wheel-load measurement, a double-plate side-slip arrangement, ABS brake testing, and 4WD testing. The quotation should specify which upgrades are included and which remain optional.

For each upgrade, request the supported measurement functions, vehicle configurations, hardware and software requirements, and operating procedures. An ABS or 4WD upgrade label should not be expanded into a claim of universal vehicle compatibility or complete diagnostic coverage.

If an existing installation is being upgraded, the supplier should confirm compatibility with the installed equipment and software version before defining the work.

Match the Inspection Line to the Facility

The facility review should cover vehicle suitability, installation requirements, electrical supply, and the intended inspection process.

Vehicle matching requires confirmed testing-load limits, permitted drive-over loading, relevant wheel dimensions, and the geometry of the measuring arrangement. Each rating should be associated with its applicable conditions.

The installation package should provide the dimensions and requirements for the supplied model, including equipment positioning, floor preparation, vehicle access, cable routing, and service space. Photographs can illustrate an arrangement, but the project needs the corresponding technical drawings.

Confirm the Electrical Configuration

Both model columns list AC 380 V ±10%, 50 Hz and motor ratings of 3 kW × 2. The motor ratings should not be treated as a complete facility input-power specification. The electrical documentation should establish the actual supply, connection, and installation requirements.

For a U.S. project, ask the supplier to confirm the electrical version against the site’s voltage, frequency, phase, and connection requirements. Any alternative supply configuration should be documented in the quotation and technical package.

Define Commissioning and Acceptance

Commissioning should demonstrate the agreed brake, load, and side-slip functions, the selected operating mode, and the reporting features included in the project.

Measurement verification should remain distinguishable from software operation. A displayed curve or printed report does not, by itself, establish that the measuring equipment meets the required performance criteria.

For work within an official inspection program, confirm the applicable equipment, procedures, evaluation rules, and reporting requirements separately. Adjustable software settings do not automatically establish acceptance by that program.

Specify the Complete Three-in-One Configuration

The CTGT-3-3 and CTGT-3-3C provide two listed configurations for a system combining braking, axle-load measurement, and side-slip testing. Their documented differences center on the side-slip arrangement and measurement range, while wheel-load capability and other upgrades require separate confirmation.

To request a proposal from a vehicle inspection equipment supplier, provide the intended vehicle range, expected loading conditions, testing purpose, available electrical supply, site layout, and reporting needs.

Ask for a final equipment list that identifies the selected model, weighing configuration, optional modules, software functions, installation requirements, and confirmed measurement specifications. This provides a clear basis for assessing whether the 3-in-1 Vehicle Inspection Line matches the facility’s inspection requirements.
