WinAlign Tuner™ Now a Standard Premium Aligner Feature
WinAlign Tuner(TM)
WinAlign Tuner™ was introduced by Hunter earlier in the year to meet the rapidly growing demand for modified vehicle service tools and equipment.

WinAlign Tuner™ custom alignment software for modified vehicles is now a standard feature of Hunter’s Series 811 Plus premium alignment system. WinAlign Tuner is designed to meet the specific needs of shops servicing the rapidly growing and highly profitable restyled, custom and modified vehicle market. The new software supplements Hunter’s standard WinAlign® alignment software with additional procedures and tools designed to align modified vehicles for desired performance and/or appearance.


New Tire Changer Options Boost Productivity; Help Prevent Injury and Fatigue
New Tire Changer Options Boost Productivity; Help Prevent Injury and Fatigue

Optional pneumatic wheel lift devices for Hunter’s TC3500 and TC3250 Euro-style tire changers eliminate manual lifting during wheel mounting/demounting, dramatically reducing operator fatigue and the possibility of injury. The pedal-controlled wheel lift quickly raises and automatically positions the wheel over the tire

changer’s tulip clamping system for easy mounting. All of the system’s wheel- contact parts are polymer-coated to protect the wheel’s finish. The lifting capacity is 140 pounds. The lift units are designed operate in close quarters and require minimal additional space around the tire changer.

PowerSlide™ Locking Slip Plates Christened

Staff at Hunter’s Durant, Mississippi production facility paused recently to celebrate shipping the first production RX scissor alignment rack ordered with the new PowerSlide™ locking slip plates. In keeping with Hunter tradition, the slip plates were christened with a touch of aged bourbon.

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.

All of Hunter’s lift rack and jack product lines, brake testers and inspection lane equipment are fabricated, powdercoated and tested at the Durant factory.
