Seeing a gap in the market for a vehicle testing station, Eastern Truck expanded the business by providing a comprehensive, onestop- shop experience.

After carefully evaluating a range of brands for workshop equipment, the Eastern Truck team landed on MAHA.

“We ultimately choose MAHA due to its lifting beds, which significantly improve speed and efficiency in conducting brake rolling tests,” says Kieran Murphy, workshop general manager at Eastern Truck.

“Being well-received ‘on the street’ played a crucial role in our decisionmaking process. The insights gathered from discussions with industry peers and experts were invaluable, and that helped make our decision to go with MAHA easy,” he says.

The installation of MAHA brake rollers at Eastern Truck’s two-lane inspections facility took place in October last year, and so far, everything has been running smoothly.

“We haven’t encountered any issues, and we’re very pleased with the performance of MAHA’s brake rollers,” says Kieran.

He says the efficiency gains from MAHA’s lifting beds are notable, significantly reducing the time spent securing trucks and streamlining the entire testing process compared with other models.

“It’s all about efficiency, and MAHA’s equipment has proven to be a gamechanger in that regard,” he says.

Ease of use was another crucial factor for Eastern Truck.

“One of our inspectors had prior experience with similar brake rollers, so adapting to MAHA’s equipment was seamless,” Kieran says. “We provided brief training to other staff members, and overall, it’s quite user-friendly.

“Working with MAHA has been straightforward and easy. The installation process and operational support were excellent. We haven’t needed any postsales support so far.”

The MAHA legacy
