Wheel Alignment Bay
An aligner, a lift that can hold the vehicle wheels-free, and the floor work to put them together.
Wheel Aligner · Model WA500
3D Wheel Aligner
Stationary 3D alignment with a manual beam
Product Overview
WA500 is a stationary four-wheel aligner that uses 3D imaging to read wheel position from targets clamped to the rims. The camera beam height is set by hand, which keeps the machine simple and affordable for a workshop adding alignment work for the first time. It is built to sit alongside a big scissor lift, a four post lift or an inspection pit.
Key Benefits
What This Machine Changes in the Bay
- 3D imaging reads all four wheels at once instead of measuring one corner at a time
- Manual beam height keeps the purchase price down for a first alignment bay
- Works on platforms that are not perfectly level, so the bay does not have to be rebuilt
- Rolling run-out compensation needs only 10 to 15 cm of movement, so the vehicle barely has to be repositioned
- Vehicle database covers more than 50,000 entries, so specifications do not have to be looked up by hand
Application Scenarios
- Alignment checks after suspension, steering rack or tyre replacement
- Tyre retail sites adding alignment as a paid add-on service
- Workshops diagnosing uneven tyre wear complaints
- Post-accident geometry checks in body repair shops
Who It Is For
- Independent workshops installing their first alignment bay
- Tyre shops that want alignment revenue without rebuilding the floor
- Fast-fit chains standardising on one aligner across sites
- Distributors supplying equipment packages to small garages
Problems It Solves
What It Stops Costing You
- Alignment work is sent to a competitor because the workshop has no aligner
- Older bays are not level enough for equipment that demands a flat platform
- Manual measurement is slow and the result is hard to show to the customer
- Looking up factory geometry data by hand eats into billable time
Technical Features
- 3D imaging measurement of four-wheel geometry
- Manually adjusted camera beam height
- High-precision industrial cameras
- Patented LED light board
- Rolling run-out compensation over 10 to 15 cm
- Vehicle database with 50,000+ entries
- Suits big scissor lift, four post lift and inspection pit installations

Compared With Other Models
- Against the WA900S: the WA500 beam is positioned by hand rather than tracking the targets automatically, which lowers the price and suits a lower daily volume
- Against CCD aligners: no sensor cables between the wheels to damage or recalibrate
- Against outsourcing alignment: the work and the margin stay in your own bay
Use Guide
- Set the beam height to suit the lift or pit before driving the vehicle on
- Clamp the targets to all four wheels and select the vehicle from the database
- Roll the vehicle 10 to 15 cm forwards and back for run-out compensation
- Read live camber, caster and toe values while adjusting, then print the before and after report for the customer

Bay Solutions Using This Machine
WA500 Questions Buyers Ask
Does the floor need to be perfectly level?
No. The WA500 is designed to work on non-horizontal platforms, which is why it suits existing bays and older workshop floors.
Which lifts does it work with?
It is intended for a big scissor lift, a four post lift or an inspection pit. Tell us your lift model and we will confirm the fit.
How much rolling movement does run-out compensation need?
Between 10 and 15 cm, so the vehicle only has to be nudged rather than driven back and forth.
How many vehicles are in the database?
More than 50,000 entries. We confirm at the time of quotation how the database is updated for your market.
What is the difference between the WA500 and the WA900S?
The WA500 beam height is set manually. The WA900S adds an automatically tracing beam and a 5-megapixel camera, which suits higher daily volumes.
What is included in the shipment?
Cabinet, camera beam, wheel targets and clamps. Send us your bay layout and we will confirm the packing list and crate dimensions before shipping.
