GEMCO supplies professional commercial vehicle wheel alignment tools designed for workshops, fleet operators and commercial vehicle repair centres. These systems allow technicians to diagnose and correct alignment issues quickly and accurately.
Our range includes laser wheel alignment tools for trucks, HGVs, buses and light commercial vehicles, helping operators maintain vehicle performance while reducing tyre and fuel costs.
OUR RANGE OF commercial wheel alignment tools
Laser Wheel Alignment Tools for Trucks and HGVs
Laser alignment tools provide a practical and highly accurate method for checking the alignment of heavy vehicles.
Systems such as the Dunlop AGO55L Twin Steer Truck Laser Wheel Alignment Tool allow technicians to measure alignment across multi-axle vehicles and trailers quickly and efficiently. Designed for durability and precision, these tools use laser technology to provide clear alignment readings even in demanding workshop environments.
Built with robust construction and minimal moving parts, these alignment tools are reliable, portable and simple to use. Their design allows technicians to carry out alignment checks quickly without the need for complex equipment setups.
Twin Steer Truck Alignment Systems
Twin steer vehicles require specialised alignment equipment capable of accurately measuring multiple axles.
Tools such as the Dunlop AGO55L-TS Twin Steer Laser Alignment Tool are designed specifically for multi-axle vehicles and trailers. These systems provide precise alignment measurements while remaining simple to operate.
With the ability to accommodate wheel sizes from 16" to 25", these alignment tools can be used on vehicles ranging from 3.5-tonne vans to 40-tonne articulated HGVs, making them suitable for a wide variety of commercial vehicle workshops.
Single Steer Truck Alignment Tools
For fleets operating single-steer trucks or buses, specialised alignment gauges provide a cost-effective solution.
The Dunlop AGO55L-SS Single Steer Laser Alignment Tool offers a robust and easy-to-use alignment solution for commercial vehicles. These tools help workshops identify alignment issues quickly while reducing long-term operating costs caused by excessive tyre wear or fuel consumption.
2-Wheel Laser Alignment Gauges for Commercial Vehicles
Laser alignment gauges provide a fast and portable solution for checking alignment on heavy vehicles.
Tools such as the Dunlop AGO55L 2-Wheel Laser Alignment Gauge are commonly used by commercial vehicle workshops and fleet operators to measure toe alignment quickly and accurately.
By identifying misalignment early, operators can prevent unnecessary tyre wear and reduce vehicle running costs while improving safety and performance.
Why Wheel Alignment Matters for Commercial Vehicles
Commercial vehicles cover significantly higher mileage than passenger vehicles, making correct wheel alignment even more important.
Proper alignment helps:
Reduce tyre wear
Improve fuel efficiency
Maintain vehicle stability
Extend tyre lifespan
Lower fleet operating costs
Regular alignment checks help fleet operators maintain safe and efficient vehicles while preventing costly maintenance issues.
What Is Truck Wheel Alignment?
Truck wheel alignment refers to the adjustment of wheel angles to ensure the wheels are correctly positioned relative to the chassis and road surface. On heavy vehicles such as HGVs and commercial trucks, alignment is essential for maintaining vehicle stability, reducing tyre wear and improving fuel efficiency.
Commercial vehicle alignment systems measure toe, camber and axle alignment to ensure wheels are correctly positioned across single-steer and twin-steer axle configurations.
Workshops use specialist laser alignment tools to diagnose and correct alignment issues on trucks, buses, trailers and fleet vehicles.
