MOTOR Magazine Names Hunter GSP9200 LCD SmartWeight Balancer a 2007 Top 20 Tool

The GSP9200 LCD Wheel Balancer matches Hunter's patented SmartWeight® balancing technology with select mid-range and premium balancer features to create a machine that offers optimal performance and the ability to reduce wheel weight costs 30% to 40%.

SmartWeight® technology reduces weight application to one or none on more than 30% of wheels balanced while automatically performing a better balance. Shops also save time and labor by reducing floor-to-floor cycle time and eliminating weight chasing and short cuts that affect balance quality.

Standard GSP9200 features include the BDC Weight Placement Laser, ServoDrive system and Automatic Weight Mode Detection. Also available are the AutoClamp feature and HammerHead TDC Weight Placement Laser.

WT200 Heavy-Duty Alignment System Introduced

Hunter has introduced the WT200 series premium alignment system for heavy-duty trucks. The WT200 builds upon a half century of Hunter's patented alignment equipment technology that has over the years helped commercial transporters operate at maximum profitability. The WT200 introduces both hardware and software advances that improve the efficiency and accuracy of heavy- and light-duty alignment service, and offers service solutions for new axle, steering component and vehicle designs. An unprecedented selection of new cabinet and widescreen LCD monitor configurations is available to fit the widest range of shop, floor space and portability requirements.
