The Argent team helps to protect Ireland's road users every day through the wide range of commercial vehicle testing services we offer from our Dublin workshops. When we're not focused on the practical side of our business, we're creating blogs like this one that serve to educate readers on how to stay safe.

In this one, we look at what drivers can do to maintain the roadworthiness of their vehicle, making the whole LCV CVRT or HCV CVRT process much easier each year. So, let's get started.

As the name of the test alludes to, vehicles that transport dangerous goods such as acid, diesel, oil or petrol, are required to meet certain technical requirements. As such, they're required to take an ADR test that's designed to minimise the danger for other road users.

As the leading vehicle testing company in Dublin, we offer the full range of commercial vehicle testing services from our workshops on the North & South side of the capital. Today, we're here to talk about engineer’s reports and why they're needed.

If you’re operating a commercial vehicle over 3,500kg GVW with a trailer on Ireland’s roads, then you have an obligation to get a Truck & Trailer CVRT test on an annual basis. At Argent Equipment, we are the trusted name for Truck & Trailer testing in the capital, something we offer from our two Dublin-based workshops.

Our ultimate aim when offering HCV testing, ambulance testing, mixed fleeting testing and all of our other services is to keep Ireland's roads safe. The CVRT system was created in order to support that effort, with the following four reasons explaining why it's so important that it's carried out on every vehicle every year.

At Argent equipment, we offer a wide range of testing services for commercial vehicle owners in the Dublin area. Whether you need HCV testing, ambulance testing, jeep testing, van testing or mixed fleeting testing, our team has got you covered.

If you’re using a commercial vehicle in Ireland, you’ll require a Certificate of Roadworthiness (CRW) - something that you’ll need to renew every 12 months. To obtain your CRW, your vehicle will need to undergo a CVRT, which examines all the visible parts to ensure it’s safe to be used on the road.

Annual HCV testing is an important component of Ireland’s mechanism for ensuring that all heavy goods vehicles are safe on the roads. However, responsible HGV operators complement this annual check with daily walkarounds and 12-week maintenance inspections carried out by companies like ours.

If you’re operating a commercial HGV on Ireland’s roads, then you are obliged to ensure that it’s safe and roadworthy at all times. One such measure is the periodic vehicle inspection that checks a wide range of vehicle elements vital to a well-running heavy goods vehicle.

At Argent Equipment, we offer the full spectrum of testing services for all types of truck and other commercial vehicles. From our Dublin-based test centres, we are able to get you the certification you need in as little as an hour in some cases.
