Leading wheel servicing equipment specialist, Pro-Align, selected this year’s Automechanika Birmingham for the launch of its two latest workshop systems. Featuring a number of exciting innovations, the equipment has been designed to help workshops improve their customer service levels and operational efficiency.
Attracting much attention at the show and now available to order is the Hunter Road Force Elite (RFE) diagnostic system. The RFE is the latest development in Hunter’s advanced Road Force and Lateral Force tools which are designed to solve the most challenging of wheel vibration and tyre pull issues and help reduce customer comebacks.
By applying a load roller to the wheel and tyre combination and effectively taking it on a road test, the RFE identifies the tyre’s stiff spot and the wheel rim’s low spot, which can be force matched to minimise any vibrations as well as proposes best wheel fitment plan to reduce any pull effect.
Capable of changing wheels from 10” – 30”, the TC Line features an extra-grip clamping device which allows clamping with just one cone positioning operation, and gripping pressure is automatically increased during process. The dual bead breaker roller system is simultaneously positioned in a straightforward movement, and the gradual, controlled motion of the bead breaker allows the bead to be broken close to the edge of the rim. The leverless tool head is coated in scratch-proof material and removes the beads without any risk of scratching rims.
