Brake Alert's reflective indicators are visible night or day for easy visual brake inspection
EBI Brake Alert™
Saves Money, Saves Lives
The most effective method of checking brake adjustment
and lining life without crawling under the vehicle
Give Your Drivers the Tool They Need to Legally Measure Brake Adjustment
The Industry accepted method for checking brake lining is to crawl underneath the vehicle and take measurements by hand. With Brake Alert™ this becomes a thing of the past, as you only need to measure once and then can visually check Brake Alert™ safely and easily by visual inspection.
Protect Yourself from Expensive Litigations
There were 82,500 fatal/non-fatal crashes involving large trucks in ‘05, of those investigated, brakes were a factor in over 30% of them. Brake Alert™ let's drivers and mechanics quickly and easily inspect brake adjustment and brake life, thus eliminating the questions of your fleet's brake condition. You can definitively know if your brakes are adjusted or need replacing, reducing the risk of a costly lawsuit over brake malfunction before it ever happens.
Stop Wasting Money in your Core Pile
This lining was replaced too early wasting money..
This lining was replaced too late and may have led to expensive brake problems.
Your core pile presents a clear indication of money wasted with other brake systems. Brake Alert lets you clearly see when your brake linings need to be changed, so you can get the maximum value out of each and every fleet brake.
Visual Stroke Indicator
Always know when your brakes are out of adjustment (OOA)
Brake Alert works by physically measuring brake stroke once, capturing that measurement, then using a visual indicator to see if brakes are extended past that point. Brake Alert is calibrated by adjusting the slack adjuster to the point of maximum allowable push rod travel. Brake Alert is then calibrated to that point such that if the push rod ever extends beyond that point of maximum allowable range, the red adjustment flag will indicate. As long as the red flag stays concealed during brake actuation, the brakes are not over-stroking.

Visual Lining Life Indicator
Always know the optimal time to change linings
Brake Alert lining indicator works by measuring S-CAM rotation over time. When brake shoes are brand new, the S-CAM is at or near the zero position. As the brake wears, the slack adjuster incrementally rotates the S-CAM more and more up to a maximum of about 130° before Cam-over. By clocking with the S-CAM rotation, Brake Alert color meter reveals green, yellow, and then red as the S-CAM gradually adjusts over time.
