It says in the book "class 4 presented weight must be used" http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/htdocs/m4s03000702.htm
I never have probs using that as "kerbside" in the vts

The ATL brake tester must give you an output pass / fail at the end of the ATL test.
If the VTS device disagrees with the brake tester and says FAIL it must either a) be a marginal pass or b) you havent used the 'as presented' weights for the data entry to the device and selected 'kerb weight' or c) the brake tester is poorly or improperly calibrated.
Hope this helps...

I use an atl set up and love it, would not want to go back to "manual testing" again.
Is plate brake testing allowed on an atl?
When I use the rbt there seems little point in using the wheel chocks as results are rarely borderline. I am sure that I have read that the use of chocks is optional anyway.
1 thing is that it does record quite a few fails on front brake imbalance as it records all the effort on the balance test, and if it is over 25% at any point it records the result, as it says in the book.
The outer good feature is that it saves results on a hard drive and gives a printout in case of any arguments at a later date

"If" I was thinking of opening a new site or updating an existing one,
Then it would be an ATL Scissor Lift and a bi-directional roller set.

We're thinking of installing an ATL, and as we weren't sure what was involved we visited another site to view the equipmment and test procedure.
Before carrying out the parking brake test the tester placed chocks behind both front wheels to prevent the car from riding out.
Due to our proposed layout I can forsee problems getting out of the car to fit chocks while the rear wheels are in the rollers due to the lack of clearance between the drivers door and the rear lift post.
I'm interested to hear from other ATL testers as to how often they use chocks and wether they have door clearance issues. A scissor lift has been suggested but I would prefer a 4 post lift if possible.
