Precision Alignment for Every Operation: How Smarter Systems Help You Win the Long Haul

In the modern heavy-duty transportation industry, keeping vehicles aligned is crucial for both safety and profitability. Proper wheel alignment reduces tyre wear, improves fuel efficiency, and ensures optimal handling. Yet traditional methods can be slow, labour-intensive, and prone to inconsistencies. To keep pace with modern fleet demands and stay ahead of tomorrow’s challenges, shops need smarter, faster, and more precise solutions.

That’s where advanced systems like JOSAM® I-Track II are changing the game. Purpose-built for high-volume, heavy-duty workshops, I-Track II delivers unmatched speed, accuracy, and ease of use, raising the standard for what alignment equipment should do.

Why Alignment Matters More Than Ever

Every mile a truck or bus travels puts strain on its axles, tyres, and suspension. Without routine alignment checks, issues can quickly escalate. Misalignment increases rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption and shortened tyre life. Over time, it can even damage key suspension components, adding costly repairs and downtime to a fleet’s bottom line.

Beyond operating costs, misaligned vehicles are harder to control, affecting driver safety and contributing to fatigue. Smooth, predictable vehicle behavior is essential—not just for compliance, but for the well-being of the people behind the wheel.

With I-Track II, preventive alignment checks become part of the daily routine, delivering long-term savings and safer driving conditions.

Smarter Systems Lead the Way

Traditional alignment setups often require lengthy preparation and manual adjustments for each axle. The JOSAM® I-Track II significantly streamlines this process with lightweight components, magnetic wheel adaptors, and laser-based measurement technology. The system captures alignment data by measuring each wheel, then rolling the vehicle forward approximately half a wheel turn for a second measurement. Technicians reposition the measuring heads from wheel to wheel as needed, and for steering axles, I-Track II performs a separate measurement sequence for turn angles such as KPI, caster, and toe-out on turns during steering articulation. This efficient process reduces alignment time while ensuring precision across all axles, even in complex steering configurations.

I-Track II fits into virtually any heavy-duty shop, offering flexibility without compromising precision.

Designed for dynamic, high-volume workshops, I-Track II features:

  • Premium magnetic wheel adaptors that prevent rim damage and allow quick setup
  • Guided, easy-to-use software that reduces operator dependency and training time
  • Support for fixed or mobile installations to match shop layout and workflow
  • Measurement of trailers and semi-trailers in a single rolling sequence
  • Full solution for complex bus fleets, including multiple steered axles and articulations

Thanks to its innovative design, I-Track II fits into virtually any heavy-duty shop, offering flexibility without compromising precision.

The Versatility You Need

I-Track II measures a wide range of commercial vehicles—from light commercial vehicles and articulated buses to trucks, trailers, and semi-trailers. It’s even suited for special vehicles such as mobile cranes or military transporters.

Optional chassis and body sensing tools enable alignment relative to OEM centreline standards. Alternatively, technicians can use frame-mounted target scales for full frame referencing—ensuring accurate, consistent results every time.
