Roadside Gauge - for the Roadside Safety Inspector.
Do the Brake Stroke Test and The Lining Thickness Test With One Tool
Roadside Gauge is an integrated tool that was specifically designed for the Commercial Vehicle Roadside Inspector. Designed with input from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), this tool is also available via their website at www.cvsa.org.
The SHOP TOOL is also an integrated tool but specially designed for the Technician.
- Attractive Stainless Steel body to help prevent rusting
- Overall length 5-11/16" complete with pocket clip
- Spring tension & oval push-button Lok-Nut firmly positions and holds 5"x1/2"x3/16" soapstone. Includes #1 Select Soapstone
- Special spring holds tension on non-uniform soapstone
- Special spring holds tension on soapstone, even with an irregular thickness, to keep soapstone from falling out & helps prevent soapstone breakage. All machined parts plated or made of materials to help prevent rust & corrosion.
- This tool is manufactured all in stainless steel and is of superior quality
Both tools are an “All in One” tool that includes a soapstone and holder, pocket clip, with a 4-inch ruler for brake stroke measurement and a brake lining thickness gauge. The Roadside Gauge has a minimum “Out of Service” swing-out indicator, whereas the Shop Tool has a “Change Point” swing-out indicator. Both indicators work in a similar manner to the Fleet Gauge to determine “Out of Service” or “Change Point”. It is inserted between the brake shoe table and the drum at the space between the lining blocks. If the tool does not slide in easily, it is an “Out of Service” or at a “Change Point” condition. Note: These tools do not give actual measurements. If you want to measure actual brake lining, please click here to see our Technicians Gauges.
Both gauges will also give you a quick reference on maximum drum wear that is allowed so you can ensure vehicle safety in a fast and efficient manner.

How it works:
- With the brakes released the soapstone is used to mark the brake chamber push rod in the released position.
- Apply the brakes and the built-in ruler is then used to measure the brake stoke.
- With the brakes applied, swing out indicator (either marked "OSS" on Roadside Gauge or "Change Point" on Shop Tool) the swing out indicator is used measure the minimum brake lining thickness. Insert the tool end between the lining pads (or through the inspection slot if equipped with dust shields) (NOTE! Some backing plates do not have the inspection slot lined up with the gap between the shoes. On those types either backing plate removal is required or a 7/8" hole needs to be drilled at the gap between the pads the first time.). If the tool will not slide between the brake table and the drum, wear surface the lining is worn beyond the minimum requirement.
