MD-AWD-1000-M Overview

The MD-1000 sets the industry standard for heavy duty chassis dynamometers due to its rugged design and accurate loading capabilities. The AWD upgrade expands your testing to include full time 4×4/AWD applications! Now your testing capabilities have expanded! Simulate on-highway driving conditions under real world loads. Adjust loading to simulate a host of in-use operating conditions. The AWD 1000 is approved for use in Nevada and Colorado for Diesel Smog Testing.

The MD-1000 Series heavy duty truck dynamometer has a standard peak horsepower measurement capacity of 2,000 HP, enough to handle most standard trucks, including tandem axle Class Eight tractors. The standard MD-1000 includes two air-cooled eddy current power absorbers that give the power to absorb up to 1,200 HP intermittently.

Other features include a rugged, unitary frame and flexible tandem axle spacing. The precision machined rollers mean you can conduct sustained tests at highway speeds. With Mustang’s sophisticated software, you can design a wide range of tests including three-stage diesel lugdown – and provide both on-screen and print-out results. Controls include a wireless hand-held unit, so operators can control the test from the cab of the vehicle.

The MD-1000-M is available in both right and left hand configurations to accommodate different facility designs.
