Published: 19 August, 2020
According to Snap-on, the John Bean V2280 wheel aligner is well suited to independent garages, and is designed to be robust. Alignment can be started from the V2280’s home screen, where the vehicle selection process has been improved with a model search capability. Wheel rims from 11in to 22in can be worked on without adaptors and without removing hubcaps thanks to new lightweight wheel clamps. The height of the beam is set via automatic tracking, and its cameras move automatically up and down following the targets.
