Innovative Products of America (IPA) recently revealed the latest addition to the award-winning Alpha MUTT trailer tester series: the #5410A Alpha MUTT with ABS Slim-Line.

Built with upfitters and mobile service applications in mind, the more compact diagnostic tool—about the size of a desktop computer— retains the full functionality of the larger platform, according to the company. Specifically designed for service trucks, PM carts, and shop walls, each unit includes IPA's patented diagnostic technology for remote-controlled light, air brake and ABS testing with customizable configurations to take your shop to the next level.

The 25-lb. diagnostic tool is designed for remote-controlled light, air brake, and ABS testing with customizable configurations.

It can provide digital readouts and results for:

  • Circuit status and faults
  • Voltage, current and wattage
  • ABS diagnostics
  • Air pressure readings
  • Leakdown tests

Full reporting capabilities are possible when paired with IPA's diagnostic software app and optional tablet.

“The Slim-Line Alpha MUTT is a full-featured trailer inspection system ideal for small service trucks, shop bay walls and other areas where space is limited,” IPA President Ian Vinci said. “With all the capabilities of our larger units, this model allows a shop to install the industry’s best trailer inspection system within any aspect of their operation.” 

IPA has been manufacturing high-quality, easy-to-use diagnostic equipment and setting the standard for inspection protocols since 1996 with the Mobile Universal Trailer Tester (MUTT) line. All IPA­ diagnostic trailer testers come with a 24-hour repair/replace policy and a 3-year limited warranty.
