Pro-Align: making light work of CV alignment
Wheel alignment specialist Pro-Align has highlighted the benefits of its Hunter WAHD commercial vehicle aligner, which is said to offer rapid and accurate alignment readings, paving the way for substantial savings in fuel consumption, tyre wear and downtime.
The Hunter WAHD commercial vehicle aligner is capable of providing live alignment readings on three axles simultaneously.
This feature, combined with single roll compensation and other advanced functionalities, enables workshops to diagnose full wheel alignment in just four minutes – a significant time reduction compared to conventional systems, says the company.
Craig Welch, head of sales and marketing at Pro-Align, said: “Fuel costs remain the number one priority for most operators, and correct wheel alignment is an important factor in helping improve fuel consumption.
“By slashing measurement times, the Hunter system is much more efficient and usable and therefore offers the potential for substantial cost savings in fuel, tyres, and excess downtime.”
Independent tests conducted by leading tyre and truck manufacturers have revealed that adopting the Hunter commercial vehicle alignment system could save fleets up to two and a half per cent on their fuel bills simply by correcting their alignment, the company says.
“The wireless Hunter system utilises sensors attached to six of the vehicle’s wheels, eliminating the need for jacking up the vehicle,” it added.
“A rolling compensation operation is efficiently carried out with just one short roll, complemented by Hunter’s unique EasiPush system.
“Live readings are instantly transmitted to the system console, providing clear and easy-to-understand results in printable or electronic formats through email and HunterNet’s online platform.
“Users are required to walk around the vehicle only two and a half times, achieving a full alignment diagnosis in just four minutes.
“The Hunter commercial vehicle alignment system caters to trucks, trailers, buses, and coaches, offering a game-changing solution for alignment needs.”
