Hunter Highlights Vol. 114

Hunter engineers have developed a lift rack feature that makes wheel alignment faster and more efficient, and minimizes a leading cause of damage.

The PowerSlide™ slip plate locking mechanism electronically locks and unlocks rear wheel slip plate pins using a button located on the lift control console. This can significantly reduce extra trips around the vehicle to manually remove and replace lock pins during the alignment procedure.

PowerSlide slip plates also automatically lock when the rack is lowered to the ground. This prevents costly damage resulting from technicians driving the vehicle off the rack when slip plates are unsecured.

One touch of the PowerSlide button on the lift console locks or unlocks the slip plates and LED lights indicate the status.
