What does a Mechanical Inspection include?

A mechanical inspection is a professional and certified review that checks the overall condition of your truck or tractor. It’s not just a quick look—it verifies that your cargo vehicle meets the technical and safety requirements established by law.

  • Brake and steering systems
  • Suspension and axles
  • Lighting and electrical system

Frequently Asked Questions

En nuestro taller especializado, contamos con un simulador de camino exclusivo llamado El Bailador, que nos permite realizar una inspección detallada en condiciones de camino real. Este servicio de inspección físico mecánica transporte de carga es gratuito con la ventaja de que recrea las condiciones del tráfico, ayudándonos a detectar problemas ocultos desapercibidos en una inspección estática.

El simulador permite verificar el funcionamiento de la suspensión y dirección bajo condiciones dinámicas, garantizando que todos los componentes se comporten correctamente cuando el camión o tráiler esté en movimiento. Esto ayuda a detectar desgastes o defectos que solo se pueden identificar mientras el vehículo está en movimiento.

According to SCT regulations, it must be performed once a year or sooner if your vehicle shows obvious faults.

  • Prevention of Costly Repairs: Regular physical-mechanical inspections of cargo transport can help prevent mechanical failures that, if not detected in time, could lead to high repair costs.
  • Compliance with Regulations and Avoiding Fines: DOT verification units regularly inspect cargo vehicles to ensure they meet official standards and safety requirements. A truck that fails the physical-mechanical inspection may be fined or even taken out of circulation.
  • Improved Road Safety: Cargo vehicles, especially those carrying large quantities of goods, must be in perfect condition to prevent accidents. Checking the physical-mechanical condition ensures that all components of the suspension and steering systems are functioning properly, improving stability and maneuverability.

We recommend having a physical-mechanical inspection every 6 months, especially if you use your truck or trailer intensively. Periodic checks with the “El Bailador” simulator are ideal to ensure your vehicle is always in the best possible condition. If no issues are detected, you can continue with peace of mind; if problems arise, you can address them in time before they affect your vehicle’s performance or safety.

You will receive a report with the detected issues, and you can have them repaired through our related services to obtain approval.

No, we also perform it on tractors and light cargo vehicles.

Yes, at the end of the inspection, you will receive a valid document certifying the physical and mechanical condition of your vehicle.

It depends on availability, but we offer express service for urgent cases.

Yes, a road simulator that detects technical issues in a truck can significantly increase the chances of passing a DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) inspection. This is due to several reasons:

Prevention of Mechanical Failures: The simulator can identify problems before the inspection, allowing the driver or fleet operator to make the necessary repairs.

Preventive Maintenance: Detecting potential issues before the inspection is an effective way to carry out preventive maintenance. By addressing these problems in time, the risk of the truck being stopped during the DOT inspection due to a technical defect is reduced.

Improved Compliance: Many DOT inspections focus on the vehicle’s mechanical condition, including brakes, lights, suspension, and other critical components. A road simulator can help ensure that all these systems are functioning properly.

Reduction of Penalties or Fines: If a truck fails the DOT inspection due to technical problems that were not previously detected, penalties or fines may be imposed. Using a road simulator to ensure the vehicle meets standards can reduce this risk.
