Millions of dollars have been spent on streamlining , improved drivetrains and enery-efficient engines.
Yet, most operators neglect one of the most effective ways to reduce operating costs…
…Total Wheel Alignment!
Improper wheel alignment significantly shortens tire life and increases fuel consumption.
It’s estimated that over 70% of the trucks on the road have tandem axles that are misaligned.
To keep the truck going straight, the turning force of the tandem must be offset by turning the front wheels in the opposite direction This causes all ten wheels to scrub… mile after mile.
A proven way to reduce tire costs
Don’t Forget Trailer Alignment!
An incorrectly aligned trailer forces the driver of a correctly aligned tractor to correct for the pull caused they the trailer, resulting in tractor tire wear.
Here’s what a total wheel alignment can do for you:
- Reduce Tire Wear
Improper alignment is a major cause of premature tire wear on all axles. Total alignment sets all wheels parallel. This can add thousands of miles to tire life. - Reduce Component Wear
When all wheels work with the system, stress on steering and suspension components is reduced. - Spot Problems Early
An under-vehicle inspection is part of our alignment procedure. This allows us to spot worn parts before they can cause costly problems. - Improve Handling
Proper alignment is necessary for optimum handling characteristics – contribution to increase safety and reduce driver fatigue, especially on ice and snow. - Minimize Rolling Resistance
Total alignment sets all wheels parallel. This works with proper inflation to minimize rolling resistance and improve operation efficiency, which helps reduce fuel consumption.
