The device’s intended use is diagnostic inspection enabling preliminary determination of wheel alignment.

The wheel alignment test starts automatically after driving over the plate with the left wheel of the tested vehicle and ends after driving off the plate with the tested axle.

Wheel alignment assessment involves slowly rolling the vehicle’s wheel over a plate, which is moved in a direction perpendicular to the movement of the vehicle, and reading the indication on the light board.

The recorded measurement result is used as a front wheel alignment indicator and can be printed out with the appropriate interpretation.

The result can also be sent to a central computer and a previously made test catalogue.

Due to the simplicity of assessment and ease of operation, the SST-5250 is recommended for use in vehicle inspection stations and daily service test lanes.
