During operation the driver controls the vehicle’s front wheels and decides on their direction. But the rest of the wheels might be rolling in another direction if the axles are not correctly positioned in relation to the longitudinal center line of the truck or if the axles are bent. This means that the truck rolls with resistance, which increases tyre wear and fuel consumption. So it costs money driving around with faulty wheel geometry and axle positions.

The Scania Alignment System is based upon laser technology and uses the vehicle’s geometric centerline as reference. Before measuring wheel angles, a play detector is used to ensure that all bushings and bearings are free from excess play. Measuring scales are then moved out from the centerline and are targeted by a laser projector which in turn is mounted on a wheel adapter on each side of the axle.

Remember, it is not always difficult to reduce operational costs. Try the Scania Laser Alignment Service!
