Trailer Dr. diagnostic tool: Front View

Works Wherever You Work

Trailer Dr. brings the test to the trailer, not the other way around. It performs in every environment technicians actually work in.

Shop Floor

Plug into shore power, hang Trailer Dr. from the gladhand couplings, and run full electrical and air brake diagnostics from the rear of the trailer with the remote. No moving the trailer, no calling someone to the cab.

Fleet Yard

Walk the yard and test trailers in line. One technician handles fleet maintenance independently, with no vehicle access, no second person, and no waiting.

Field Calls & Roadside Repair

With a service vehicle providing 115V power and air, Trailer Dr. handles roadside trailer repairs and field calls without needing a shop.

Mounted to a Service Vehicle

Mount Trailer Dr. to your service truck. With vehicle air and power available, you have a fully capable mobile diagnostic station. No shop required, anywhere you drive.

Trailer Dr. vs. Other Trailer Testers

Most trailer testers limit what you can do from the remote and require a permanent vehicle mount. Trailer Dr. gives you full control from the rear of the trailer, in any environment, with no truck required.

Built to Last Where Others Fail

Trailer Dr. is built for the conditions technicians actually work in: wet shops, outdoor yards, and roadside calls. When other tools fail, Trailer Dr. keeps running.

NEMA-Rated for Wet Conditions

Trailer Dr. carries NEMA ratings 1, 2, 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 12, and 13, covering everything from dripping water to hose-down and standing water conditions. No other portable trailer tester matches this rating.

One Person. No Cab. No Wait.

With full remote control from the rear of the trailer, one technician does work that used to require two. No running to the cab, no calling someone to the truck. The labor savings alone pay for the tool.

A fleet maintenance operation was going through IPA trailer testers regularly. Their shop floor collected water, and the units kept shorting out, leading to frequent breakdowns, repairs, and replacement costs. They switched to Trailer Dr. Within a year, they had purchased three units and retired every competitor tool in the shop. Trailer Dr. is now the only tester they use across their entire fleet.
