A laser wheel alignment system uses optical laser gauges to measure wheel tracking and alignment angles. It's a simple and cost-effective solution for checking and adjusting alignment without the need for full computerised wheel alignment equipment.
Laser wheel alignment is accurate for standard tracking and alignment checks when set up correctly. While not as detailed as computerised systems, they provide reliable results for everyday workshop use.
2 wheel laser alignment systems measure front wheel tracking only, while 4 wheel systems measure alignment across all wheels. A 4 wheel setup gives a more complete picture and is better suited for modern vehicles.
Most laser wheel alignment equipment is suitable for cars and light commercial vehicles. Specialist gauges are also available for trucks and larger vehicles depending on the setup.
Laser wheel alignment is faster and more cost-effective, making it ideal for basic tracking work. Computerised systems offer more detailed measurements, so the right choice depends on your workload and service offering.
For many workshops, a laser wheel alignment system is a practical way to bring alignment work in-house. It requires a lower upfront cost and allows garages to carry out quick tracking adjustments efficiently.
Laser tracking gauges use a simple optical setup to measure wheel alignment, making them a practical and cost-effective option for workshops carrying out straightforward tracking and alignment checks.
A computerised wheel aligner uses electronic sensors or cameras to measure multiple alignment angles and can provide more detailed data, vehicle specifications and before and after reports.
Laser systems are usually better suited to workshops wanting a simple, reliable setup, while computerised systems are more appropriate for higher volume alignment work or garages that want more advanced measurement and reporting features.
