The JILS-20T-FWD is a truck (Ford F350 XLT or equivalent) mounted FWD, which is operated from the driver seat in the vehicle. The data from the tests are displayed on a cab-mounted laptop computer and recorded for future analysis.

There are many advantages in using a truck mounted FWD system, especially where maneuverability in and out of and around traffic are serious considerations. In addition, the truck takes up less space than a trailer plus tow vehicle would require. There is no time spent hooking up the trailer. You can use the truck for purposes other than FWD work. And also, if considerable travel distances are involved between testing sites it is much safer traveling without the trailer.
