Automotive Lifts Balancing Equipment

Automotive Lifts & Balancing Equipment

Lifting an automobile gives mechanics easier access to work on the vehicles underside and wheels. A vehicles tires will ride more smoothly and experience less vibration when properly balanced.

Lifts

    Mechanics use automotive lifts to raise vehicles safely off the ground smoothly and quickly. Dual controls allow operation the lift from either the left or right column. Many lifts have a lock and chain system which prevents the vehicle from falling from its raised position. The ability to adjust the lifts height makes it suitable for servicing a wide variety of vehicles.

Balancing

    To achieve an accurate balancing of a vehicles wheels, repair shops often go with balancing equipment that is able to perform static (not moving) and dynamic (moving) balancing. These balancing machines also have display screens that help simplify the balancing process.

Balancing Speeds

    Motor life is longer on todays balancing equipment because of lower operating speeds. While older balancing equipment needed to spin over 50 mph to read wheel vibrations, todays machines can get this done with spinning speeds of less than 20 mph.
