MUTT® Series
Mobile Universal Trailer Tester
The MUTT® series are heavy duty, all-in-one, mobile, advanced diagnostic tester and inspection system for both vehicles and trailers. It saves time and money while being simple and easy to use by providing mistake-free, paperless inspections that are faster and more efficient than existing methods across all your locations. IPA® uses its own proprietary technology and a custom software suite to achieve unparalleled accuracy and record keeping while conducting real-time electrical, air brake and ABS testing along with full DOT inspections.
Trailer inspections are being monitored more and more for proficiency to avoid falling behind on PM schedules and annual inspections. In fact, a poorly run trailer shop can be one of the largest contributors to hidden costs a fleet or service provider can have. IPA® manufactures an industry-leading, professional-grade trailer tester for every type of need.
Several MUTT® models are available with expandable capabilities including ABS diagnostics, air pressure sensors, trailer light testers, cloud uploading and the option to instantly link all trailer inspections fleet wide for inspection-failure-cause analytics.
