INTRODUCTION, shortly known as VLT, has a track record of over 54 years and is today one of the few companies which supplies State of the Art Vehicle Testing Equipment combined in fully integrated Test Lanes. These Test Lanes have a high level of Computer Automation, including Vehicle Tracking Systems, with a capacity of 20 to 25 vehicles or even more per Test Lane per hour with half the number of inspectors. Our clients tell us that the VLT Test Lanes are up to 50% faster. VLT has automated everything as much as possible, even the visual inspection. Above and Under Carriage are fully computer guided with less human influence and this means less errors by inspectors. But maybe the most important aspects for decision-makers are the user friendliness, the high throughput, the paperfree systems and minimum human influence - the machine makes the decision! Correct and true! Re-tests after failures are easy and quick! Only the fail items need to be re-tested: the computer system knows exactly what has failed and directs the vehicle straight up to the device of the Test Lane where the re-test has to be executed, simple and fast! But even more important for the operator is the high technical level and durability of the equipment, especially for high workloads. VLT also has equipment for vehicle testing stations and equipment for workshop use. We know from our customers that down time is very expensive and often gives the organization a bad name! VLT understands this and for our products the slogan is only the best is good enough. Our equipment is designed and built by experts for a high volume of work and minimum of maintenance to serve the operator and his clients. VLT has its own Research and Development Department to bring the high level of products even higher. VLT is definitely the Innovator in Professional Vehicle Test Lane Equipment for Annual Vehicle Testing in the last decade. In case you have plans to invest in Vehicle Test Lane Equipment, VLT definitely is your best choice! Let us, together with you, make your new test facilities! This catalogue offers you some of our solutions but is of course not complete as VLT is strong in tailor made situations. Due to the size of our company we are fast in everything from design to delivery to any size of your order. Give us the opportunity to demonstrate our skills! VLT means value for money, every day again! VLT Professional Solution Providers for Vehicle Testing. Best regards, Cornelis van Leeuwen Owner and Managing Director WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT WHEN SELECTING VEHICLE TEST LANE SYSTEMS? 1. Try to make a calculation of estimates on the number of Vehicles that need to be tested during your standard working day, by Category: Cars and Light Goods Vehicles Buses, Heavy Goods Vehicles and Trailers Motor Cycles, Tricks and Quads. With this information you are able to calculate the number of Lanes needed! VLT Car and Light Goods Lanes can handle approximately 35.000 to 40.000 Vehicles a year, Heavy and Combination Lanes approximately 20.000 to 30.000 Vehicles a year (depending on the length of the Lane), Motor Cycles up to 40.000 a year. Please note these numbers are applicable for VLT fully Automated Lanes. 2. Calculate the dimension of the Building, Office space Test Lane(s) space and open area for lining up Vehicles and parking facilities. Do not forget parking area for your own staff and visitors, easy accessible when Station is busy. 3. SELECT EQUIPMENT DESIGNED FOR HIGH VOLUME USED DAY-IN DAY-OUT Most workshop equipment will be not resistant for fulltime use and will Breakdown periodically due to wear, results in unexpected repair cost and down time. 4. Be sure your equipment needs low maintenance and seldom repairs. 5. Your supplier knows Vehicle Testing practise and looks for win win situations. 6. DO NOT COUNT ONLY THE INITIAL INVESTMENT not the most important is the purchase price, but the maintenance and repair cost over an 8 to 10 year period or even longer. 7. But still most important for you as operator is the availability of you Test Lanes! You need to serve your clients professionally. Your clients will make free publicity for you in case they have been served well. 8. The throughput; this is the number of Vehicle tests that can be conducted within one hour. Get more, better/higher return on your investment. VLT Test Lanes are faster and need less inspectors to do higher number of inspections. 9. How reliable are your equipment results, makes the equipment the Pass/Fail decision or is this made by your Inspector? 10. Can you have the guarantee that spare parts will be available for ten years or more? 11. Your system software is fundamental to get the speed out your Vehicle Test Lane(s). 12. VLT has the know how and the expertise to offer you this as Strategic partner. 13. Your success and profitability are our drive to support you for the whole life cycle. 14.

VLT INTEGRATED VEHICLE TESTLANES First full integrated VLT system was launched in January 1994 at ST Automotive Inspection in Singapore. We still thank STAI for the trust and confidence in VLT as really newcomer in the field of Fully Automated Vehicle Test Systems. STAI have taken the challenge to make use of worlds first Computer driven systems. Up to that date the systems available (most Japanese) were electronic driven systems. Good systems but Computer driven systems are much faster and far more flexible, and most important can be operated by less Inspectors. The VLT system was really unique in 1994, but is still the most advanced Automated Vehicle System in the nowadays world! The STAI Vehicle Stations are still handling thousands Vehicles every week. In 2006 we have added five Chassis Dynamometer Smoke Testers to their Test Stations; again the most advanced and fastest VLT CDST s in the world! Quality Vehicle Testing at STAI Singapore. VLT has completed in July 2009 STA Inspection Third New Vehicle Test Station with Three More Test Lanes including Two CDST s. 1994 STAI Singapore is proud to hand over to you this new Catalogue on Vehicle Test Lanes.
