Straightset has confirmed its exhibition presence at Automechanika Birmingham 2025, which takes place from 3-5 June at the NEC. The company plans to transform Stand X78 in Hall 18 into a hands-on wheel alignment demonstration area for its Supertracker branded equipment, additionally providing a Straightset display for the very latest innovations for improving efficiency, reliability and performance in modern garages.
Supertracker reports that one loyal customer, who used their original Supertracker system for an impressive 22 years, recently decided to upgrade to the latest STR1 green laser wheel alignment system.
The feedback from Auto Exhaust and Tyres highlights why Supertracker remains a trusted name in the industry: “We are still using the Supertracker I bought in 2002, so very happy to buy the same again. It’s incredible how the green light is so much brighter than the red light. This is a great product.”
Supertacker has extended its green laser technology to the STR T4 Twin Steer laser aligner for commercial vehicles. The introduction of green laser on this product follows the debut of the STR1 laser system for cars last year.
The Shortis Group has invested in Supertracker computerised wheel alignment systems for their Wilco Motosave and Fast-Fit centres. The family-owned motorist’s stores are replacing many of their Supertracker laser wheel alignment systems with the very latest Computerised 6-sensor wheel alignment systems from Supertracker.
Straightset is now offering Supertracker laser wheel aligner for mobile wheel alignment. Featuring specialist bracketry, the STR1 green laser wheel aligner can now be secured inside vans.
Supertracker has updated its STR1 laser half cab and trolley to feature green lasers. The use of green lasers said to improve the visibility, precision and clarity of the laser line. Green lasers also work in both normal workshop lighting conditions as well as outdoors and over a longer distances, in comparison to the traditional red lasers.
October is Tyre Safety Month and this year TyreSafe has launched the ‘Safe and Save’ campaign, encouraging motorists to stay safe and save money by learning basic tyre care. The campaign also asks them to ACT – check the Air pressure, Condition and Tread of their tyres, and in a recently published article, Straightset points out the vital role that wheel alignment plays in maximising tyre safety.
Straightset has been appointed UK partner for Beissbarth, specifically bringing the company’s 38 years of experience to bear in the distribution of Beissbarth’s wheel alignment systems.
Wheel alignment equipment supplier Supertracker has introduced a new six-sensor aligner, the STR130RW. The versatile aligner is capable of carrying out checks virtually anywhere in the workshop; it can be operated on a full wheel alignment lift, a standard four post lift, a two post lift, and on a level surface.
Supertracker has appointed Tom Lovesy as its general manager. The son of managing director, Trevor Lovesy, and grandson of original founder Keith Lovesy, Tom’s appointment shows the continuity of the wheel alignment specialist’s ownership. The company is preparing to enter its third generation of family management as one of the leading wheel alignment specialists in the UK market.
Having spent the past thirty years improving its position in the UK alignment market, Southampton-based Supertracker continues to introduce new innovations into its product range and 2018 will follow the same creative path. At the moment, ADAS systems are grabbing industry headlines.
Southampton based Supertracker, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of wheel alignment equipment, has launched Shoot & Go, an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system designed to obtain technical Wheel Alignment data. Now available to order on the STR600 and STR120B aligners, Shoot & Go uses a digital camera installed in front of the lift, ramp or pit, to detect the number plate of the vehicle in service.
Southampton wheel alignment equipment supplier Supertracker will expand its product range in the early part of 2017 to include a new model for the agricultural market. Final tests have recently been completed on the laser-based four-wheel aligner, which Supertracker says will guarantee accurate results alongside ease of use. Modern tractors’ ability to travel at speeds of up to forty miles an hour have led some established and potential Supertracker customers to enquire about wheel aligners for agricultural vehicles, which the company states will open up a new avenue of sales opportunity.
Supertracker will introduce its first 3D wheel aligner in October. The company is marking its 30th year of successful trading with this new landmark. Managing director Trevor Lovesy says: “Over the past couple of years we have experimented with the new concept of 3D alignment and concluded that the crucifix style systems have a definite limitation in terms of space, flexibility and accuracy. However we have now introduced the STR600 3D wheel aligner that completely eliminates these problems as we have moved the camera location to the lift which eliminates the need to move a vehicle backward and forward to obtain readings.”
Hoole Racing and Restoration has taken delivery of one of Supertracker’s popular laser wheel aligners, becoming the first motor racing company to use Supertracker equipment at their busy workshop.
