Maintaining the health of your fleet’s tires is crucial in the demanding trucking industry, where efficiency and cost-effectiveness are always the goal. Excess tire wear and misalignment can significantly impact vehicle handling, component life, and operational costs. Laser wheel alignment offers a precise and effective solution to these challenges.
At Mobalign, we are committed to providing best-in-class laser wheel alignment services that help fleets across the US and Canada maximize tire life and reduce operational costs.
The Importance of Proper Wheel Alignment
Proper wheel alignment is essential for several reasons.
Extended Tire Life
Misalignment causes uneven tire wear, drastically reducing your tires’ lifespan. Regular alignment checks ensure that tires wear evenly, allowing them to last longer and saving you money on replacements.
Enhanced Safety
Vehicles with misaligned wheels can be harder to control, leading to safety risks on the road. Correct alignment ensures better handling and stability, reducing driver fatigue and making for a safer driving experience.
Reduced Operational Costs
Proper wheel alignment helps lower fleet operating costs by preventing premature tire and component wear.
How Laser Wheel Alignment Works
Mobalign commercial laser wheel alignment uses laser technology to project beams onto measurement scales attached to the vehicle’s wheels. This allows technicians to precisely measure and adjust the alignment of the wheels relative to each other and the vehicle’s chassis for unparalleled precision.
Laser Technology
Laser beams create accurate reference points, allowing technicians to measure the exact angles of each wheel using the frame as the reference point. This method is far more precise than traditional alignment techniques.
Comprehensive Measurements
The laser system provides detailed measurements of every axle, and the Mobalign Alignment System can also measure the frame to identify any previous accident damage.
Adjustments
Based on the data collected, technicians make precise adjustments to ensure all wheels are aligned correctly. Mobalign’s alignment tolerances are more stringent than Truck OEM and general alignment manufacturer specifications. This process ensures that the vehicle operates at its optimal performance level.
Benefits of Laser Wheel Alignment for the Trucking Industry
Significant Cost Savings
With laser wheel alignment, fleets can see substantial savings in tire replacement costs. The precise adjustments ensure that tires wear evenly, extending their life and reducing the frequency of replacements.
Improved fuel Efficiency
Poorly aligned axles on a truck or trailer increase the rolling resistance of tires, using more fuel. Proper alignment reduces this resistance enhancing fuel efficiency and lowering fuel cost.
Enhanced Driver Safety and Comfort
Improved vehicle handling and stability benefit drivers, leading to a safer and more comfortable driving experience. This is particularly important for long-haul routes, where driver fatigue can be a concern.
Environmental Impact
Maximizing tire life also means a reduced carbon footprint. By optimizing your fleet’s alignment, you contribute to more sustainable operations, which is increasingly important in today’s environmentally conscious market. Although some tires can be recycled or retreaded, many end up in landfills.
