Supertracker Unveils Green Laser Wheel Alignment System
Supertracker has launched its latest advancement in commercial wheel alignment technology: the Green Laser Wheel Alignment System. This innovative system builds on their well-established reputation by incorporating 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: Green can be seen
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. 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 have now brought this enhancement to their commercial wheel alignment range, an exciting development for the well-known UK brand. The visibility, battery life and price of the green laser in brighter conditions sets the Supertracker systems apart from its competition.
Wheel Alignment and Commercial Fleets
Proper wheel alignment is crucial for maintaining fleet vehicles, especially in the commercial sector. Misaligned wheels can lead to a host of issues, including uneven tire 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%, 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, 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.
Supertracker’s STRT4: Tailored for Twin Steer Vehicles
The newly updated STRT4 Green Laser Wheel Alignment System is specifically designed to handle the unique requirements of twin steer vehicles. 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
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.
