Absolute Alignment reports brisk demand for CV wheel aligners

The cost-of-living crisis has delivered a silver lining for Absolute Alignment, with the Aldershot-based firm observing that efforts amongst fleets to improve efficiency is driving demand for commercial wheel aligners this year. Commenting that it’s “unsurprising that businesses with extensive fleets of commercial vehicles are paying more attention than ever to the benefits of wheel alignment,” Absolute Alignment emphasises that increased fuel economy is “one of the main benefits of regular and accurate wheel alignment.”

In addition to savings through reduced fuel usage, the wheel alignment supplier underscores that the reduction in tyre wear through correct wheel alignment “should not be underestimated.” Furthermore, aligning a vehicle per manufacturer recommendations improves driver comfort, particularly over long distances.

Demand from forward-thinking workshops

“It’s been a busy year so far in terms of sales of our CV wheel aligner, with our optional car and light commercial van extension pack proving extremely popular,” comments Chris Dear, technical director at Absolute Alignment.

According to the company, forward-thinking workshops are ensuring they can provide commercial vehicle wheel alignment services to meet current demand. The Absolute Alignment CV wheel aligner starts from £11,775+VAT and can be easily upgraded to work with smaller cars and vans for mixed fleets or mixed customer workshops, as well as being compatible with trucks and a host of larger vehicles. “All of the latest features you would expect from Absolute Alignment are packed into the CV aligner. It has a small footprint when not in use and one of the speediest set up times in the industry.”

Absolute Alignment highlights a number of key features, such as fast and reliable Bluetooth data transmission, truck-specific alignment software that is developed with and for commercial vehicle garages, lorry-specific Pro Wheel Clamps that eliminate run-out compensation procedures, and self-levelling measurement heads that facilitate speedy set-up times. “This CV aligner speeds up productivity and increases profitability,” says the company.

Absolute Alignment offers full on-site training and installation, 12-month warranty and industry-leading support. For the optional car/van extension pack from £3,150+VAT, smaller Pro Wheel Clamps and straight front measuring heads turn the CV aligner into a general-purpose aligner. Extra heads fit securely on the cabinet/charging dock when not in use.
