Motor Magazine Names CenteringCheck® Wheel Balancing Feature a Top 20 Tool for 2005
Motor Magazine Names CenteringCheck(R) Wheel Balancing Feature a Top 20 Tool for 2005

MOTOR Magazine has named Hunter’s CenteringCheck® wheel balancing feature a Top 20 Tool for 2005. This is the third time MOTOR editors have selected a feature of Hunter’s GSP9700 Road Force Measurement® System for the award. Previous winners were the GSP9700’s Road Force Measurement® feature and the StraightTrak® LFM tire pull measurement feature.

The CenteringCheck feature saves time by preventing balancing setup errors, providing a quick test to verify if a wheel is properly center-mounted on the balancer shaft. This eliminates guesswork and charts when choosing mounting accessories, and flags set-up errors on problematic wheels.

MOTOR’s editorial staff selects the Top 20 Tools annually from hundreds of new automotive tool and equipment ideas and announces the winners in the magazine’s September issue.


Hunter Equipment Packages Approved for Bentley Dealerships

Hunter and Bentley have announced the availability of under-vehicle equipment packages for the automaker’s U.S. dealerships. The alignment, lift and wheel service packages are designed to meet the specific requirements of Bentley’s retail service operations.

The Bentley-approved Hunter alignment system is a premium aligner console matched with camera-based, digital imaging sensors. The package includes custom WinAlign® software, a Bentley-specific vehicle specification database and calibration capability for Bentley’s new-generation Adaptive Cruise Control systems.

Bentley’s preferred alignment rack is the Hunter RX-9-L-43-P scissor lift, a design that eliminates ground clearance concerns when driving on and off by resting flush with the shop floor when lowered.

For wheel service Bentley chose the Hunter GSP9700 Road Force Measurement® System and the TC3500-SS Euro-style tire changer.
