Jaltest Peripherals


Nowadays, we can find many options to accomplish our goals. In Jaltest, proof of that are the different alternatives we offer to get the best diagnosis. In order to do so, we provide three choices within our range of peripherals.

Just as we have been offering from the beginning, Jaltest Soft works with a Windows operating system in order to make it even more versatile.

Depending on the qualities of each user, we have divided them into three groups, according to our own criterion, offering that way an appropriate peripheral for each kind of user:

 Jaltest ToughPAD is the most suitable tablet for those users familiarized with the latest technology. It is the best option for those who usually work with touch-based devices, since they will be able to put it to a more careful use. Due to its performance, this peripheral can also be used as the typical PAD, which we can enjoy for various things such as working with documents, taking pictures, etc. Finally, it is important to keep in mind that this is the smallest computer we recommend.

Sometimes, in a workshop, we face tough working conditions. Such situations create the need of a more powerful peripheral which offers not only the appropriate features to perform a good diagnosis but also a rugged design so it can be used in any kind of environment, as well as high quality screen that can be adapted to different brightness levels. You will find all this in our Jaltest Tough TABLET, to which we have added more protection and benefits in order to adapt it to both the standard user as well as to those familiarized with the new technologies.

Lastly, we can find the kind of user who prefers to acquire the latest state-of-the-art technology: Jaltest RUGGEDBOOK is suitable for those users who want to carry out diagnosis with the best computer. This computer is designed to perform diagnosis in any environment, no matter how difficult the conditions may be, since it has #1 protection and benefits within the ranking of the best computers. Naturally, you can take advantage of it apart from its use for Jaltest. This is our “Four-wheel drive”.

In conclusion, we offer three different ways to perform diagnosis, because there are many kinds of users in the workshops.

“Our goal is to offer the most sophisticated diagnostic solution in the easiest way”.

COJALI in Automechanika Frankfurt: a great participation success


Cojali came back from Automechanika Frankfurt with a sucessful participation and creating a great expectation. Two stands were exhibited: one of them presented the innovations in Cojali’s cooling and brake systems, as well as the new brand of electronic remanufacturing “COJALI Reman”. The second stand, within the workshop equipment hall, was dedicated to the new diagnosis features of the Jaltest brand.

The visitors at the Cojali stand had the chance to witness the progression of the brand with the innovative manufacturing of electronic elements such as controllers for instrumentation systems, ECAS solenoid valves, air dryers, APU kits, ABS modulators or the new range of brake and height sensors. Likewise, the e-ABS was presented: our new electronic control unit, an innovative solution for trailers and semitrailers.

Within the field of cooling systems, Cojali keeps on proving to be at the forefront of the manufacturers of fans and fan clutches for commercial vehicles, presenting the most important improvements in electronically controlled fan clutches.

Completing the innovations on the aftermarket sector, we exhibited the new brand COJALI Reman, dedicated to the remanufacturing of electronic components for commercial vehicles. This brand presented a new catalogue with all kinds of solenoid valves, modulators, electronic control units, etc. All of them with a quality equivalent to any new product.





On the other hand, Jaltest was exhibited on hall 8 of Messe Frankfurt, presenting a whole range of developments focused on the improvement of the workshop profitability, which surprised the visitors. First off, we offered the new features regarding the new functions and systems implemented on Jaltest for its last version of 2012, which proved that Jaltest is still the most complete and competitive multibrand diagnosis tool on the market of trucks, buses, trailers, light vehicles, special vehicles or agricultural vehicles.

GRP, the software for the productivity management of the workshops, received a positive asset. The software is aimed at improving the times and profitability of the workshops, which nowadays makes it an essential tool.


Afterwards, it was possible to see the new module that, as of today, can be purchased along with Jaltest. Named as ETM (Electronic test module), Cojali releases onto the market a new solution for the diagnosis of electronic modules in order for the repair works to be faster and less expensive.

To finish with the workshop equipment, the quality and variety of COFAN was presented too. Dedicated to the industrial and hardware supply, it exhibited all the new features of hand and air tools, safety equipment, abrasives and many other things that constitute an efficient solution for the workshop.

In short and as a conclusion, Cojali comes back to Spain with the satisfaction of having demonstrated its best potential at the largest fair within the sector of spare parts and workshop equipment, and with the obligation to continue working on the line of its motto, “Innovation and Technology”.
