Syncs with trailer detection systems
The Electric Brake Force Meter with Dynamic
Load Simulation and Circuit Testing tool, No.
9107A, from Innovative Products of America
(IPA), utilizes patent-pending, dynamic load simulation
technology to sync with a vehicle’s trailer
detection system, allowing the technician to quickly
troubleshoot integrated and aftermarket brake controllers
without needing a trailer. The tool displays
real-time, brake-force output gain and timing, as
well as truck-side tow circuit indication. Designed for
7-spade equipped vehicles, the tool automatically
recognizes the electronic signature of both integrated
(ITBC) and aftermarket trailer brake controllers.
It simulates a trailer load and displays real-time,
brake-controller output gain and application timing.
In addition to the electric brake monitoring, the tool
is ideal for troubleshooting all truck-side tow circuits,
including tail lights, turn signals, 12V+, reverse
and ground condition. The 25’ cable allows for
one-person, in-cab testing and can be stowed inside
the provided soft case.

Pinpoints leaks in air systems
The Redline Detection Air Brake NanoLeak
Finder tests and pinpoints leaks in air brake, air
suspension and air-powered accessory systems.
The patent pending technology in the machine creates
a signature vapor that, in conjunction with the
handheld NanoLeak Locator, pinpoints the precise
location of air brake leaks instantly. Clear, audible
and visual signals speed diagnostics and pinpointing
of leaks. With a simple, one-minute test cycle, the
Redline Air Brake NanoLeak Finder will flash a clear
green or red, pass or fail light indicator for fool-proof
testing, regardless of technician, truck or trailer variables.
This tool utilizes test pressure up to 9.3 BAR
(up to 135 psi). The unit runs on compressed air and
12V DC and weighs 18 lbs.

Eliminates brake binding
and loss of brake stroke
Cotter Pin Solutions’ Anti-Seize Cotter Pin eliminates
brake binding and loss of brake stroke that
is a direct result of seized clevis pins. This unique
design holds the clevis pin through a portion of
the brake stroke, forcing the slack adjuster bushing
to rotate around the clevis pin. The cotter pin is
manufactured from durable stainless steel 302 that
resists corrosion and is maintenance free.
