Laser wheel alignment for all commercial vehicle types
Regular maintenance and checks of wheels and axle alignment is essential for ensuring the efficiency and safety of your commercial fleet. Misaligned axles can be caused by numerous issues, such as new steering parts, damage from accidents, factory defects, and everyday wear and tear from potholes. Not only that, but fuel efficiency decreases dramatically and the safety of your drivers is impaired.
With the correct wheel alignment, and regular maintenance, these issues can be prevented or caught early, protecting your fleet and improving the longevity of your vehicles. We offer two services at Lasalign – whether it’s just one unit or a fleet, we can agree a time and date to suit you.

Lasalign performs industry leading inspections
Every wheel angle matters. That’s why we measure and align each wheel angle on your vehicle or fleet. That includes toe, camber, caster, steering box centre position, KPI, toe-out on turns, maximum turn angle, parallelism, out of square, and offset. Just to name a few.
When it comes to your fleet’s axles, you’ll find that 50% of front tyre issues can be caused by the rear axles. That’s why we align the full vehicle and not just the affected axles. This ensures that your vehicle runs as optimally as possible.
Your fleet might not just include HGVs. Semi-trailers and trailers are equally as important to check when it comes to wheel alignment – something which we make sure of when you drop by. You can find more information about trailer axles alignment here
How does it work
By accurately measuring the axle positions through laser beam projection, the system shows the rolling direction of the wheels in relation to the longitudinal centre line of the vehicle.
Through this process we can quickly see any alterations required and get your vehicle moving in the right direction.
At Lasalign, we recommend proactive checks, as opposed to using our services when something goes wrong. Prevention is key to maintaining your fleet’s safety. We look at suspension, wheels, steering, tyre pressure and condition.
