HGV CRVT test tail lift

TheJudge2009

Hello,

Have a question about CVRT for HGV.
This particularly lorry has the following wrong with it.

1. Front brakes are sticky and squealing the whole day.
Sliding pins on both calipers are damaged.
Brakes do work well.(so far)

2. Welds on the body are cracked at some points.

3. Exhaust pipe is broken off and it sound like a V8.

4. Demister/Fan is not working.(was working)

5. Reversing alarm is not working.(was working)

Question: Is it possible that this vehicle could pass a CVRT Test?
_______________________________________________

My second issue is the use of a tail lift on a HGV.

1. Does a tail lift need to be tested and/or certified by a official company?

2. If the rams are leaking oil, what 'could' happen?

3. Tail lift is not fitted straight onto the back of the lorry, does this has to be straightened?

Advice and Links to websites are appreciated.

Thanks in advance....

Regards.

1. No this should not pass a test, and it should not be on the road because of the brakes.

2. Tail lift would be certified by its manufacturer. Leaking rams could be fine for ages, but seals could fail with weight on board causing the lift to drop suddenly. If the tail lift isn't straight on the lorry, there's a broken mount or bent chassis or something

Tbh this sounds like a bit of a shed

€50 down by the handbrake does wonders. And this cctv in test lanes that the rsa are always watching lol.

Put fixing your truck into that equation too.

I wouldn't drive it, everything is grand until something goes wrong. The first thing that'll be said to you is that's it's the driver's responsibility.

If you are aware of these defects and even if you aren't you are looking at serious time and costs if anything were to happen even in a crash you weren't at fault for as the truck will be tested.

Get the cracks welded and sort out the brakes.

I look at it this way tyres and brakes are no.1 priority before anything else.

Four Phucs Ache

Damaged calipers

Broken welds

Leaking rams

Not fitted correctly

Operator not aware of how a mechanical component works and asks what could happen if....

Just like the cvrt disc a death cert is also issued on paper.


Unbelievable.

Amazing to think on the nct something so small as a slightly dimmer reg light or missing euro symbol on reg is a fail and the cvrt test is meant to be stricter and from what I see usually is.

Its shocking if something that bad is let back out legally on the road.

It won't, we've already been embarrassed about our death trap commercial vehicles being caught by the UK and not us. That is why the DOE was done away with.
