In the trucking industry, toe and tracking are the two most critical alignment settings for front end tire wear. Studies continue to find that only setting the toe and tracking on vehicles is not a complete solution. Camber is recognized as a major contributor to tire wear and caster affects suspension life and drivability. Bee Line is a leading manufacturer of equipment that measures and corrects caster and camber, resulting in TOTAL wheel alignment.

In the new catalog, you’ll find the recently released LC7500 Series Computer Alignment Systems broken down into manageable components to easily find the best solution for your shop, whether it’s a mobile computer alignment system or a permanent system capable of complete alignment of heavy-duty vehicles.

Also featured are Bee Line’s recently redesigned Space Saver Ramp and fully customizable Advanced Aligner Runways — both proven to be multi-functional workhorses. Bee Line applies the technology and expertise gained throughout 90 years in the demanding commercial vehicle industry to each and every piece of equipment manufactured by the company. While vehicles continue to get lower to the ground and axles continue to get stronger, Bee Line produces new products to keep up with these trends. Bee Line systems are designed to fit each shop’s specific needs and expand to accommodate changing conditions.

In addition to front and rear/tandem axle alignment solutions, various shop equipment is also showcased. These machines, such as the Smart Balancer II — the latest generation of on-the-wheel touch screen computerized systems that eliminate the guesswork when balancing wheels — are built with accuracy and precision in mind.

Bee Line’s front and rear truck axle correction tools also are highlighted, as well as pumps, rams and frame correction solutions. Detailed call-outs and photos accompany each major system to emphasize all that makes Bee Line an industry leader.

Hands-on training courses that focus on the principles and techniques of performing computerized wheel alignment and truck frame correction are offered in Bee Line’s fully equipped training center in Bettendorf, Iowa. The catalog details several of these opportunities and how to enroll.

Bee Line: Lifting Your Profitability to New Heights

Bee Line aims to make you an efficient, one-stop-shop solution provider by offering the highest-quality professional tools you need to set you apart from the competition. Our advanced aligners, Space Saver, pit systems and portable systems are multi-functional workhorses designed to accommodate any shop and provide the best elevated solutions to meet your alignment needs.

Recently, we’ve partnered with PKS Equipment & Engineering Inc., an Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) certified lift manufacturer and leader in lift innovation, to bring you even more elevated options with 4-Post, Scissor and Mobile Column Lifts — all of which allow unparalleled access to the vehicles being serviced.

Lifts can be custom ordered to meet individual customer specifications, and each is tested under numerous temperature and structural stress conditions. These tests ensure a safe and durable lift.

The 4-Post Lift is a cost-effective solution for routine maintenance on an entire fleet. It has minimal set-up time, offers choices in lifting capacities from 12,000 to 80,000 lbs., various runway lengths and includes safety locking legs on each post.

The Scissor Lift is driven by high pressure hydraulic cylinders with no under-vehicle obstructions or horizontal movement. They are designed to be drive-on ramp style or drive-through and recessed into the ground or above ground.

The Mobile Column Lift is a versatile machine, with per column lifting capacities of 12,000 to 40,000 lbs. and tire diameters up to 72 inches. It is equipped with controls that raise and lower vehicles at the same pace to ensure safety, and is easily moved when not in use to open a bay for other purposes.

Every lift produced is built to the ANSI ALI-ALCTV-2008 Standard for Automotive Lifts Safety Requirements for Operation, Inspection and Maintenance. The majority of the lifts also have been tested and certified to meet or exceed the ETL requirements for lift safety.

Balance Your Profits with Bee Line

Bee Line is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Corghi USA Inc., an international leader in wheel service equipment, as part of our mission to provide professional equipment that differentiates you from the competition and helps you become a highly productive, one-stop-shop solution provider. The HD700 Tire Changer and ET66 Wheel Balancer are built as ruggedly and with the same high quality as Bee Line’s industry-leading Heavy Duty Computerized Wheel Alignment and Frame Correction equipment.

Take control of heavy duty jobs with the ET66, a user-friendly tire balancer capable of handling a max tire weight of 440 lbs. This extremely compact model utilizes an integrated lift, making the technician’s job effortless with less opportunity for physical injury. The balancer’s energy-saving, slower speed of 75 rpm reduces the risks associated with rotating parts, and its spin time of just 17 seconds gets the job done in a flash. The ET66 also moves easily on casters when floor space is at a premium.

The HD700 Electrohydraulic Tire Changer is the ideal machine for the professional who services trucks, buses or industrial vehicles. The simple yet versatile design includes a ramp on the carriage with left-right move¬ment, allowing technicians to easily maneuver and accurately place heavy truck tires onto the jaws. Tubeless or inner tube-type tires, as well as skid steer tires, can be slid on or off the rim quickly and effortlessly, thus increasing shop productivity and profits.

The HD700 was designed to accommodate rim sizes from 14” to 26”. This is the ideal machine for the professional who needs an operator-friendly, cost effective solution, but refuses to sacrifice quality.

The LC7500 computer alignment system redefines laser accuracy – from the inside, out. Using cutting-edge technologies, Bee Line has taken the most accurate heavy duty truck alignment system on the market and made it even better. Every aspect of this system builds on more than 90 years of alignment expertise and has been redesigned with the most forward-thinking objectives in mind. As technology advances, so does Bee Line.

Superior Design Maximizes Efficiency and Improves Durability

An impressive 32” HD TV monitor with built-in speakers matched with the enhanced cabinet design, custom molded top and Remote Display charging station make this system extremely contemporary and user-friendly. The software screens have been redesigned to maximize font size for ease of viewing and drop-down menus make it easier to navigate. An efficient, state-of-the-art workspace means greater productivity for the technician. Durability is substantially improved through the use of fewer moving internal parts. Fewer moving parts in the laser assembly eliminates wear out mechanisms, loss of accuracy with wear and the need for repair.

Smarter Technology Increases Precision and Speed

Advanced target board sensors and processors that operate at 88MHZ vs. 4.5 MHz in past systems, along with a hardware driven design allow for quick calculations and immediate, precise laser positioning response. Approximately 1,800 (vs. 80) sensors calculate the location of the laser strike to an accuracy of .005”. The Laser Line Generator with 200 sensors per inch provides great precision in these calculations. These technological improvements afford a faster, more precise and extremely accurate alignment, in less time.

LC7500 Provides Unmatched Productivity

The Bee Line King Pin Gauging System was developed to meet the need of repair shops performing steer axle inspection and maintenance. The King Pin Gauging System was engineered to work in conjunction with Bee Line’s exclusive software, electronically measuring King Pin bushing lateral movement and then documenting the results. KPGS readings are accurate, extremely repeatable and available in a customizable hard copy printout. Patent Pending. Contact Us
