Description
The 500E test stand is designed to meet your needs for testing medium and heavy-duty transmissions and torque converters for off-highway and other commercial vehicles.
The 500E accommodates in-line or drop box model transmissions mounted in a direct remote or mid-ship configuration, with or without integrated torque converters. This compact unit is designed and built to our high standards to give you years of reliable performance verification and quality assurance testing of automatic and powershift transmissions.
