  1. What is Wheel Alignment Turn Plates? Advantages of Turn Plates Wheel alignment turn plates, also known as alignment turntables, are specialized devices used in the process of aligning the wheels of a vehicle. They are circular plates with a rotating mechanism, allowing the wheels to turn freely while the alignment measurements are being taken. The turn plates sit on top of the wheel alignment machine's platform and provide a smooth, low- friction surface for the wheels to rotate. Advantages of Wheel Alignment Turn Plates Enhanced Precision: Wheel alignment turn plates enable precise measurements by allowing the wheels to rotate freely. This freedom of movement ensures that the alignment angles are accurately assessed, providing mechanics with the data they need to make precise adjustments. With turn plates, the alignment process becomes more accurate and reliable. Time and Cost Efficiency: Turn plates streamline the wheel alignment process, saving valuable time and reducing costs. Since they allow the wheels to rotate freely, mechanics can quickly access the necessary alignment angles without the need for additional adjustments or equipment. This efficiency translates into faster turnaround times for customers and increased productivity for automotive shops. Improved Diagnostic Capabilities: Wheel alignment turn plates provide mechanics with valuable diagnostic information. By analysing the rotation of the wheels on the turn plates, they can identify specific alignment issues and potential underlying problems. This diagnostic capability helps mechanics address alignment issues more effectively, preventing further damage and extending the lifespan of tires and other suspension components.

  2. Versatility and Compatibility: Wheel alignment plates are designed to accommodate a wide range of vehicle types, including cars, trucks, and SUVs. They can be used with both two-wheel and four-wheel alignment systems, making them versatile and adaptable to various alignment scenarios. Turn plates also support different wheel sizes and allow adjustments for different track widths, ensuring compatibility with a diverse range of vehicles. Ease of Use: Turn plates are user-friendly and relatively easy to operate. Mechanics can quickly set up and position the turn plates on the alignment machine's platform, allowing for a seamless alignment process. Their smooth rotation and low-friction surface make it convenient to measure the alignment angles accurately and make the necessary adjustments. Precision Alignment for Specialty Vehicles: Wheel alignment turn plates are particularly beneficial for specialty vehicles, such as sports cars or vehicles with modified suspensions. These vehicles often require precise alignment adjustments to optimize performance and handling. Turn plates provide the necessary accuracy and flexibility to align the wheels of these vehicles, ensuring optimal performance and driver satisfaction.
