Hunter Engineering announced they will be exhibiting its latest WinAlign 17.1 software in their booth #42017 in South Hall Lower at SEMA in Las Vegas, Nov. 1-4.
The new software provides two main benefits for Hunter Quick Check Drive and Quick Check Commercial unmanned inspection system customers.
First, 17.1 bridges the gap between passenger vehicle and heavy duty inspection systems by measuring those trucks too heavy or wide for the passenger tread system, but not tall enough for the full HD system.
“Dealers and fleet owners who service big trucks want to be able to read duallies and some medium-sized trucks, such as the upper end of the Ford F-series,” said Alex Smith, Hunter product manager. “These vehicles may weigh too much or be too wide for the passenger tread system, but with 17.1, they can cover everything from a Fiat 500 all the way up to a Ford F-650.
“Now, the customer gains the medium without losing the small,” Smith said. “The ability to inspect medium-duty trucks won’t preclude them from testing typical passenger cars, or vice-versa.” This capability would particularly benefit dealers in rural locations.
Secondly, 17.1 features a dual license plate capture, giving fleet customers the ability to track the tractor and trailer as separate assets.
“Previously, you had to catch them still attached before getting the trailer to an alignment rack,” Smith said. “Now you’ll still know which tractors and trailers need attention, even if they’re detached.”
WinAlign software is available in 42 languages and backed by a three-year warranty.
