Shaker Plates, also known as Wheel Play Detectors, are powered devices that are used during MOT tests to assess a vehicle’s steering and suspension. They are an important tool in maintaining the reliability and safety of vehicles as they detect any excessive movement in the suspension and steering systems.
The vehicle drives onto the testing area with the wheels on the Shaker Plates. Suspension is analysed through lateral movements of the plates, and steering is analysed through rotations of the plates.
There are 2 popular options for Shaker Plates:
The use of a shaker plate can also reduce the need for a second person to manoeuvre the wheels for inspection and testing of wheel and suspension components, thus this can be used to turn a Two Person Test Lane into a One Person Test Lane (OPTL) for MOT testing.
