70 commercial carrier journal | july 2018 Trailer inspection system Lite-Check's Verifier 1010 Trailer Inspection System is a high-speed device engineered to produce an advanced data and diagnostics report of a trailer's brakes, electrical system, air, lights and more. The Verifier is designed to conduct a U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant inspection using Technology & Maintenance Council recommended practices or a customized preventive maintenance inspection with one technician and one pass around the trailer. Once completed, the in- spection, report and other information are uploaded to the user's secure cloud-based account, which allows for access from any computer, tablet and smartphone with approved credentials; managed data by trailer, trailer type, inspection, site, customer and status; mass upload for all existing trailers; dropdown menus for trailer type, VIN, technician, site and customer; and immediate view of trailers that are ready, out of service, due for an inspection and more.

A four-way stop design combines mounting straps with steel brackets to help limit side-to-side and front-to-back motion. An easier installation process and flexible shelving options help users customize the mount to fit their needs more easily. Pre-existing holes and shelves are engineered to lock in place any- where along the rail using the company's proprietary twist plate. The mounting kits include extruded aluminum upper rails, powder-coated steel mounting plates and hardware for two shelf units for both the driver and passenger side.
