Save time and improve accuracy with a diagnostic trailer tester

Equipment to make trailer inspection more efficient.

A diagnostic trailer tester can result in consistent and accurate inspections across multiple fleet locations. Additionally, a good tester can reduce labor costs by allowing a single person to conduct inspections in less time. That’s why Innovative Products of America (IPA) says a good diagnostic trailer tester can be one of the most important investments a fleet makes.

IPA has developed a full line of professional-grade testers for a variety of applications. The company’s latest edition, the Alpha MUTT, is an advanced diagnostic tester and inspection system. It is designed to provide paperless inspections across all fleet locations.

“Our customers want powerful, yet simple-to-use equipment that saves time and money for their operations,” says Ian Vinci, vice president of IPA. “The new Alpha MUTT is a next-generation system built on a rugged and large, yet portable, platform that features expandable capabilities including ABS testing, air pressure sensors, cloud uploading and more.”

IPA says this advanced diagnostic trailer tester reduces guesswork and simplifies trailer inspections, resulting in an average savings of 30 minutes per inspection. Alpha MUTT includes a Bluetooth-enabled tablet and custom software suite to help achieve unparalleled accuracy and recordkeeping while conducting electrical, air brake and ABS testing, along with full DOT inspections.

Removing the burden of paperwork and data entry, Alpha MUTT provides automatic and guided inspections with detailed reports. Inspection results are analyzed in real-time, providing users with immediate feedback and troubleshooting suggestions. The turnkey design includes the option to instantly link all trailer inspections fleet-wide for inspection-failure-cause analytics. Fleets can also opt for cloud uploading capability.
