  • Wheel-Mounted Targets: Ensure precise calculations and optimal alignment results.
  • Intuitive Software: Easy to learn and use for technicians of any skill level.
  • Versatile Operation: Works on the ground or on various lift types, including four-post, scissor, and platform lifts, while retaining calibration during elevation.
  • Mobile Design: Wheels allow quick relocation from bay to bay for maximum shop efficiency.
  • Secondary Monitor: Enhances visibility when working at ground level.
  • Tablet Control: Operate the system remotely from any tablet for added convenience.

“The WS-MobileAlign was designed to eliminate the common challenges shops face with traditional alignment systems. It gives technicians the freedom to work wherever they need to—without sacrificing accuracy or speed, said Mark Medeiros, Vice President of Southern Sales at ARI-HETRA. This machine is all about improving efficiency, reducing downtime, and helping shops get more vehicles back on the road, faster.”
