Sourced direct from the manufacturer
Every machine we list ships from the manufacturer or their authorized distributor, in the original crate, with the manufacturer's own warranty. We don't rebox, rebrand or drop-ship from marketplace sellers.
Specifications you can check
Where a manufacturer doesn't publish a number, we leave the row out rather than estimate it. If a spec you need isn't here, call us and we'll get it from the manufacturer.
Freight handled properly
Equipment this size moves on an LTL freight carrier, not a parcel van. We check your address for truck access before the order ships, and we'll tell you honestly if you need a liftgate or a pallet jack at your end.

The Associated Equipment 6042 is a carbon pile battery and electrical system tester on a rolling cart - the sort of machine that settles an argument about whether it is the battery, the alternator or something quietly draining the car overnight.
It load tests batteries up to 1000 CCA with a variable 0 to 500 amp carbon pile, and checks charging and starting systems on 12 volt, 12/24 volt and 24 volt vehicles. The ammeter reads both positive and negative amps, so parasitic drain shows up as a number rather than a guess.
The leads are heavy single extrusion and long enough to test up to 15 feet apart, which means the cart stays where it is while you work. There is a Load ON indicator with automatic shut-off, reverse voltage protection and a coated circuit board.
Specifications
Included: 8 foot 4 AWG leads, the Model 6043 1000 amp AC/DC inductive clamp, 500 amp safety clamps with Flexi-Spring and the patented side terminal adapter, separate light gauge test leads, and a heavy-duty two-wheel tilt-back cart with 8 inch wheels and two trays.

Will it fit your bay?
Fit for this item depends on your wall, bench or bay layout rather than ceiling height. Tell us what you're working with and we'll confirm it fits before you order, including whether it pairs with equipment you already own.
Shipping
This item ships by ground parcel service rather than freight, so there's no delivery appointment to schedule. Orders of $499 or more ship free, and tracking goes out by email once it leaves the warehouse.

After you order
We confirm stock and access
We check availability with the manufacturer and confirm your delivery address works for the carrier. If something needs discussing, we call you before anything ships.
Tracking reaches you by email
Once the order leaves the warehouse you get the carrier and tracking number. For freight shipments the carrier contacts you to arrange a delivery window.
You inspect, then sign
Check the crate and the equipment before you sign the delivery receipt. Note any damage on the receipt, photograph it, and call us the same day.
