SharkEye introduces three new wheel aligners

SharkEye introduced three new wheel aligners in June – the BigEye, the Husky and the Ibex.

Pitched as “the ultimate in car and LCV laser wheel alignment”, the BigEye takes its cue from the company’s Zubra Truck multi-axle aligner, which is designed to enable precise interaxle alignment. According to SharkEye representatives, the BigEye is the only laser aligner on the global market that offers its “unique and simple way of completely aligning a vehicle’s axles”. The machine can also be used as a standard four-wheel laser aligner and, just like all SharkEye products, is handmade in Sheffield, England.

As you might have guessed, SharkEye is proud to adorn the coveted ‘Made in Sheffield’ and ‘Made in England’ hallmarks on every product they design and manufacture, in a bid to give customers security in the knowledge that they’re getting “a robust, quality piece of kit”. Not only this, but when purchasing the BigEye, customers are also able to access unlimited remote training, unlimited phone support and a 10-year parts and labour warranty, as well as SharkEye’s Premium Accessory Pack and a free Calibration Rig.

the Husky…

At the same time, SharkEye’s new two-wheel laser aligner also hit the market, offering simple, quick and efficient alignment – one axle at a time. According to the equipment’s manufacturer, the Husky is “perfect for professional workshops” and “absolutely ideal for setting your own vehicles at home too”.

Following the success of the firm’s four-wheel laser aligners, SharkEye made the decision to add an innovative product to their line of two-wheel aligners. Unlike it’s optical/laser counterpart, the top-of-the-range Husky uses lasers alone to achieve perfect alignment every time. This incredible piece of kit comes as standard with a 10-year limited warranty and a guarantee of product satisfaction over and over, for years to come. You can also expect to find two-wheel alignment gauges, a steering wheel clamp, an integrated charger and a vertical wall-mounted hanger for easy storage inside your box, all of which are included in the price.

…and the Ibex

Last but not least is the Ibex. In today’s technology-based world, it’s only fitting that the automotive industry keeps up with the times. That’s why the team at SharkEye spared no brain power when it came to designing their newest 8CCD Wheel Aligner, the Ibex. Portable, space-saving and carried around in a 42-inch assault rifle case, the company is proud of its compact design.

Utilising their 8CCD Elegante, the Ibex is a computerised wheel aligner which comes with all the perks of a normal 8CCD, plus the added bonus of portability. This product is pitched at any professional, especially mobile, workshop/body shop space and is a jump up from laser alignment, enabling the user to provide their customers with print outs which show ‘before and after’ readings, giving an extra edge on competitors. Inside the carry case, expect to find four Fasep heads, a Panasonic Toughbook in a case with a foldable stand, an ergonomic folding keyboard and an Electronic Measuring Gauge. You can also expect to receive 4 Magnesium Alloy Wheel Clamps – everything you’ll need for perfect alignment.

For this product, valued customers receive one-year labour and parts warranty, extended to three-years, and unlimited phone support, but the team have also created an exciting concept for their product training – Shark School. This is a series of informative videos explaining the start-to-finish process for each of their products, straight from the head honcho himself. Shark School can be accessed from SharkEye’s website and their YouTube page (search SharkEye Wheel Aligners).

Managing director, Carl Gibson, commented: “Professional equipment, half the price of our competitors and made right here in Sheffield – what’s not to like?”
