Portable wheel aligner

14 September 2012  

A portable wheel alignment system that can be used with virtually any four-post lift has been added to the Hofmann range of equipment, available from Snap-on Equipment.

The Geoliner 580 PRISM runs on PRO 42 software, designed to make the most effective use of data required by the technician. All functions can be accessed through a ‘one touch’ programme, speeding up the alignment process.

Magnesium front wheel targets and rear wheel ‘pods’ carry out the alignment and enable a run-out compensation procedure to be done in 10 to 12 minutes. Bluetooth provides wireless data communication and uniform readings on small cars through to vans. It runs on long-life rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, the power reserves of which last three days if you are doing 3 to 4 alignment check per day.

The equipment incorporates global OEM data and information on virtually every built in the past 25 years.
