Supertracker unveils Green Laser Wheel Alignment
Supertracker has launched its latest advancement in commercial wheel alignment technology: the Green Laser Wheel Alignment System.
The system incorporates green laser technology, offering greater precision and visibility across a variety of working conditions, both indoors and outdoors – with straightforward solutions for twin steer vehicles, as well as simple tracking gauges for commercial vehicles.
“Green lasers offer distinct advantages over their red counterparts, primarily due to the human eye’s heightened sensitivity to green wavelengths, which peak at around 555 nanometers,” said Supertracker.
“This characteristic makes green lasers appear significantly brighter and clearer than red ones, even in bright environments.
“The Supertracker laser wheel alignment range leverages this advantage to deliver higher visibility in diverse lighting conditions, making it especially effective for workshops that perform wheel alignment checks outdoors or in low-light conditions.
“The enhanced brightness and range of green lasers ensure precise measurements, even over greater distances.”
Supertracker has now brought this enhancement to its commercial wheel alignment range.
“Proper wheel alignment is crucial for maintaining fleet vehicles, especially in the commercial sector,” said the company.
“Misaligned wheels can lead to a host of issues, including uneven tyre wear, increased fuel consumption and compromised safety.
“Fleet operators who invest in regular wheel alignment not only prolong the lifespan of their vehicles but also improve fuel efficiency by up to 10 per cent, according to studies from the UK’s Road Haulage Association.
“For large fleets, these savings can amount to thousands of pounds annually.”
Correctly aligned wheels reduce wear on essential vehicle components, adds Supertracker, cutting down on long-term maintenance costs and minimising unexpected breakdowns, which could lead to costly downtime.
“With fuel prices and vehicle maintenance costs rising, efficient vehicle operation through proper alignment checks is a priority for commercial fleet managers”.
The newly updated STRT4 Green Laser Wheel Alignment System is specifically designed to handle the unique requirements of twin steer vehicles, the company says.
“The system is engineered for quick and accurate alignment checks on heavy duty trucks, haulage trucks, tipper trucks, cement mixes, buses, fire trucks and emergency vehicles, to name a few.
“The system comes complete with, everything you need for an alignment check: 2 x Laser Measuring Heads; 4 x Wheel Hangers; 2 x 2nd Steer Mirror Heads; a convenient trolley with a battery charging system; steering wheel lock; and truck dished turn plates and bases.
“Neatly stored on a stylish, manoeuvrable trolley, the complete system provides everything required for easily measuring toe and trust as standard.
“Additionally, users can upgrade the system with a Digital Camber Caster Gauge, enabling them to measure camber and caster.”
For simple checks on single steer vehicles, Supertracker also offers the STR1500, a commercial Two-Wheel Laser Tracking Gauge.
“Supertracker takes pride in not only delivering robust equipment manufactured in the UK, but also offering reliable aftercare support,” the firm added.
“The UK-based service team provides national coverage, ensuring that any calibration, maintenance, spare parts or accessory requirements are met promptly.”
Prospective customers can visit Supertracker’s wheel alignment studio in Worksop to see the equipment in action, or contact its support teams for quotes or trade-in deals.
