Model 8200 High Profiler
The Model 8200 is designed as a portable system that can be used on multiple vehicles. The system can be front or rear mounted and can easily install onto any vehicle using the vehicle's standard 2" receiver hitch. A rugged Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 laptop mounts inside the cab to control all of the profiler system functions. The Ames High Speed Profiler meets or exceeds the following requirements: ASTM E950 Class 1 profiler specifications, AASHTO PP 51-02 and Texas test method TEX 1001-S.
