Put an End to Wasted Fuel With Correct Truck & Bus Alignment

New in 2008 to the Rema Tip Top UK Limited range is a mobile laser wheel aligner for trucks, buses and trailers. Truck Align is a product with a firm emphasis upon reducing fuel consumption and maximising tyre life, and thus is, says Rema Tip Top, an absolute necessity for any serious commercial or haulage fleet. The automotive product supplier notes that field testing has demonstrated a significant cost benefit that can be delivered through Truck Align: Vehicles with misaligned wheels consume up to four per cent more fuel than vehicles with correctly aligned wheels.

Important also, says Rema Tip Top, is user friendliness. The set up and measurement procedure should be quick and convenient. Consequently, the Truck Align wheel alignment system has been designed for use by anyone with almost any level of previous experience. Whether aligning a van, truck or bus, the system offers hassle free use. Furthermore, it is not necessary to lift the vehicle or remove any vehicle parts. The vehicle is simply measured in its idle position. Additionally, the laser wheel aligner can be used without an external energy supply, so use is not limited by location.

The vehicle is measured with regard to its chassis frame. This wheel alignment procedure is particularly suitable for vehicles with several steering axles. The measuring heads can be fitted on quickly and easily, and can be adapted to suit various wheel sizes. The 360° swivelling laser unit, together with a graduated measuring scale placed on the ground, measures the Ackerman angle and the caster. The toe, camber, axle offset, the angle to axis and the steering gear central position can be determined just as easily. The front axle alone can be measured in a period of ten minutes, including set-up time.
