PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Alignment tools
Hunter Engineering Company
WinAlign HD Alignment Machine
The WinAlign HD from Hunter Engineering allows technicians
to align trailers without unhooking from the tractor by affixing
to the trailer wheels and connecting to a broad specification
database for easy alignment. Additionally, the tool features HD
QuickGrip Adaptors for fast installation and can produce printouts
of the alignment. " It's a time saver-it allows my alignment
guy to be able to squeeze in two more alignments a day, " said
Kevin Davis, owner of Cowser Tire & Service. " [The machine] has
six heads, [so] you can do all three axles at the same time without
having to stop and recalibrate. "

Bee Line 22000 Rear Axle Aligner
The Bee Line 22000 Rear Axle Aligner lets users position the
rear axles perpendicular to the vehicle's centerline within a few
minutes. The tool provides alignment printouts after the job is
complete and can be used without a computer while still providing
accessible notifications as well. " With the quick glance feature,
the light goes from blinking on the target to solid, and that
tells you that you're in, " said Chris Meyer, owner and operator
of Meyer Truck and Alignment. " Then you can go to the computer
and double check, but it's kind of a nice quick feature when
you're gauging it out. "

Enerpac SCR Series Porta Power Kit
The Enerpac SCR Series Porta Power kit (SCR102H) is a handheld
hydraulic cylinder, enabled by hand pump or air-over
hydraulic pump, that allows the operator leverage up to 10 tons
of push or pull force to get an axle into alignment. Easy to use
and, when paired with air-over hydraulic foot control, the kit
leaves hands free for cylinder maneuvering. " These save time
by eliminating the need to pull another technician off of what
they are doing to help move something that would take more
strength than one person can provide, " said Tim Lamoreaux,
truck service manager at North American Trailer.

Ingersoll Rand MAX Series Vibration
Reduced Air Hammer
The MAX Series Vibration Reduced Air Hammer from
Ingersoll Rand provides up to 3,530 blows per minute to
loosen difficult joints for manual alignments and comes with
a quick-change retainer and chisel set. " Up here in the snowy
Midwest, we run into a lot of rusted, corroded, and stubborn
nuts, bolts, and joints, " Lamoreaux stated, explaining how a
good air hammer is a tool that all new technicians are shown on
their first day and is never far from the alignment bay.
