In 2024, the company fitted its trailer fleet with Webfleet’s Link 350 trailer tracking units and EBPMS technology ahead of the new DVSA requirement for trailers to undergo four annual laden roller brake tests.
“The Webfleet system is already proving an excellent investment,” said Remi Martysz, director at Salvatori. “We expect it to pay for itself in less than three years through greater efficiency, less downtime and better utilisation of our trailers.”
By continuously collecting real-time data from each trailer’s braking system, Webfleet’s EBPMS enables Salvatori to remotely monitor brake performance and run DVSA-approved, load-simulated tests.
With every brake event recorded and analysed digitally, the system automatically alerts the fleet team to any issues, eliminating the need for depot visits for quarterly manual roller brake tests.
“Drivers no longer have to return trailers to base just to manually brake test them at the workshops,” added Martysz. “That alone has saved significant time and reduced unproductive mileage.”
