NOT SURE WHICH TRAILER LIGHT TESTER TO CHOOSE?
Trailer Light Tester Comparison: Basic vs. Professional
We specifically designed these two testers for light vehicle trailers and caravans. You can use it to test truck trailers and interlink trailers, but we'll outline its limitations in more detail below. In short, the basic trailer light tester has the same testing capabilities and functionalities as the professional trailer light tester, but without the built-in battery and charger. The testing requires a separate battery, which you must supply.
Trailer Light Tester Comparison: Mini Toggle/Remote vs. Professional
Technicians working on truck trailers and interlink trailers can benefit from the design of the Mini toggle and Mini remote-control testers. These testers' built-in ammeter is an absolute must-have for checking and testing shorted wires. The indicator flashing device, which also serves as a hazard, is an important safety feature to have when working on breakdowns.
This is just a quick guide to help you choose the right trailer light tester. Please review and decide if you need all the added features of the Mini trailer light testers, as many truck companies do use our basic and professional testers.

Device description:
They are easy to operate and completely portable, which makes working with them a lot more practical and convenient.
Test the electrical light circuits of your vehicle, caravan, or trailer separately and independently.
Include a fully explanatory guide and videos on how to carry out the tests correctly.
It is made of high-quality materials, but if something breaks, it can be repaired or replaced.
Certain tasks that previously required the assistance of another person are no longer necessary.
Test truck trailers, light vehicle trailers, interlink trailers' and caravans' electrical tow plugs (round seven-pin), wiring, and lights.
Tests are carried out through toggle switches.
Testing circuits are protected by a standard automotive blade fuse (7.5 A). The fuse holder is situated next to the trailer socket on the tester.
The tester can operate on external 12 or 24-volt DC power; it does not have a built-in battery.
Side handle for easy carrying.
Testing features:
Check the wiring circuit standard (SABS).
Check the auxiliary wire connection.
Test 12-volt and 24-volt standard light globes.
Test 12-volt and 24-volt LED lights.
Test the stop light wiring and light bulbs, or LEDs.
Test the left-hand tail light wiring and light bulbs, or LEDs.
Test the right-hand tail light wiring and light bulbs, or LEDs.
Test the left-hand indicator wiring and light bulbs, or LEDs.
Test the right-hand indicator wiring and light bulbs, or LEDs.
Perform a load test on the earth/ground wire.
Earth/ground wire test: the tester will immediately indicate when there is no earth/ground connection. It will also show a swapped earth/ground wire between light circuits or on the auxiliary circuit.
Short circuit test: the easily replaceable fuse on the tester will blow when a short circuit occurs on wires, globes, globe fittings, and damaged plugs or sockets. Refer to the user guide to learn how to safely and adequately test for shorts using this tester.

***************
- High-grade materials go into making the testers, including the batteries, which run on FORBATT VRLA batteries.
- For peace of mind, we build and repair the testers that we sell. So, if something breaks, we can repair it.
- The user guide and other important documents are available for download from our website.
- Videos are on YouTube to learn more about the different types of tests performed on a test bench.
- With LED technology, twenty-four-volt power is no longer necessary to test the lights of the truck trailer unless the trailer still uses twenty-four-volt globes. These LED lights are multi-voltage, which means they are compatible with twelve-volt (12 V) and twenty-four-volt (24 V).

Finally, since our trailer light testers are electrical instruments just like any other, please handle them with care. Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
