Product Information

Full details

For automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics, these Intercomp Mechanical Turn Plates offer precise wheel alignment adjustments with clear, easy-to-read degree indicators. While they provide a robust, durable solution for alignment tasks, users should be aware that the mechanical nature requires manual reading of angles, unlike digital counterparts. Key features include CNC machined numbers for accurate readings from -35 to +35 degrees in 0.5-degree increments, a high-friction top surface to prevent tire slippage, and construction from lightweight, aerospace-grade aluminum.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the total weight capacity of one turn plate?

Each turn plate has a capacity of 450kg (1,000lbs), with a total set capacity of 900kg (2,000lbs).

Can these be used for all four wheels simultaneously?

This set includes two turn plates. For four-wheel alignment, you would need to purchase an additional set of two.

How precise are the degree measurements?

The turn plates measure angles in 0.5-degree increments, providing a high level of precision for alignment tasks.

What is the range of angle adjustment?

The turn plates allow for measurements from -35 degrees to +35 degrees.

Are these plates suitable for trucks or heavier vehicles?

These plates are rated for a total capacity of 900kg (2,000lbs), making them suitable for most passenger vehicles, but not heavy-duty trucks.

Can I convert these to digital readouts later?

Yes, the Intercomp Mechanical Turn Plates are designed to be upgradeable to a digital readout system.

How do I ensure the tire doesn't slip?

The turn plates feature a high-friction top surface specifically designed to eliminate tire slippage during use.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty rotating the wheel on the plate

Ensure the vehicle is perfectly level. Check for debris between the tire and the turn plate surface, or within the roller bearings. Gently rotate the vehicle back and forth to reseat it.

Inconsistent angle readings

Verify that the turn plates are on a perfectly flat and level surface. Clean the top surface and the roller bearings. Ensure the vehicle is centered on the plates.

CNC markings are difficult to read

Ensure adequate lighting in the work area. Clean the surface of the turn plates to remove any dirt or grease obscuring the markings.

Turn plate feels stiff or rough

Inspect the metal roller bearings for any obstructions or damage. Clean the bearings and surrounding area. If bearings are damaged, professional servicing may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Accurate and clear degree markings for precise adjustments.
  • Robust construction using aerospace-grade aluminum for durability.
  • High-friction surface effectively prevents tire slippage.
  • Smooth rotation due to multiple levels of metal roller bearings.
  • Can be upgraded to a digital system for enhanced functionality.

Cons

  • Requires manual reading of angles, which can be less convenient than digital displays.
  • Mechanical nature may be subject to wear over extended, heavy use.
  • Set includes two plates, requiring additional purchases for four-wheel alignment setups.
  • Not as feature-rich as fully digital alignment systems out-of-the-box.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface where the turn plates will be used is level and stable.
  2. Place the turn plates under the front or rear wheels as needed for your alignment task. For a two-wheel alignment, place them under the wheels you intend to adjust. For a full alignment check, consider placement under the front wheels.
  3. Position the vehicle carefully onto the turn plates, ensuring the tires are centered on the high-friction surface.
  4. Zero the plates by rotating the vehicle slightly back and forth until the indicator is at the '0' mark, or by using the dedicated zeroing function if applicable.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with passenger vehicles up to 900kg (2,000lbs) total capacity.
  • Can be used in conjunction with electronic scales for center of gravity measurements.
  • Mechanical units are designed for potential upgrade to digital readouts.

Care:

  • Clean the turn plates regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the aluminum surface or markings.
  • Inspect the metal roller bearings periodically for smooth operation and debris.
  • Store in a dry environment when not in use to prevent corrosion.
