JOSAM and TruckCam Join Forces With Amazing Results

Late last year the Josam and TruckCam brands, worldwide specialists in heavy duty wheel alignment, joined forces to launch a new camera system to measure wheel angles.

Now working together, these dominant trademarks within the heavy duty alignment market, have developed a common division for commercial vehicles in the Car-O-Liner Group.

Introducing their brand new product at the 2014 Automechanika in Frankfurt, their new creation generated a lot of buzz and excitement from truck and bus workshops, as well as tyre service centres everywhere!

Launched under the Josam brand, the new heavy duty wheel alignment system is called JOSAM Cam-Aligner, and is a result of the best of both manufacturing worlds.

Some of the advanced new JOSAM cam-aligner features include:

• Camera technology with targets and sensors operating with the vehicle’s centre line as reference.
• A modular system that can measure all wheel angles in extensive configurations and align the ACC Adaptive Cruise Control of various vehicles. Furthermore, it can be combined with a frame check module to analyse chassis distortions and may also be used for quick diagnosis of the axle geometry.
• Roll the vehicle 180 degrees for automatic run-out, and measurements of toe and camber are taken in a matter of minutes. By adding two more wheel adapters, two axles can be measured simultaneously with 50% less operating time.
• Wireless technology for transmitting data between sensors and the PC-software. A new Graphic User Interface guides the operator through the measuring process and prints out reports of the wheel angle values before and after alignment. During adjustment, “live” values are shown on screen to determine proper alignment.

JOSAM cam-aligner handles wheel angles such as toe, steering box position, camber, out of square, parallelism and axle offset. For turning axle angles caster, KPI, Toe Out On Turns as well as max turn are measured. Everything is performed within the shortest possible time, including set up.

If this sounds like the perfect addition to your truck or bus workshop, or you are a tyre service centre looking to move up in the market, visit Levanta (Australia's exclusive distributor for Josam products) to find out more about this fantastic new product, or simply get on the phone and call one of our team on 1300 577 541.   

I’m Packing Up My Hoist And Going Home

Sounds ridiculous right?

Not so much if your workshop has mobile column lifts. You can literally pack them away when you're done, with a set fitting into approximately 2 pallet spaces. So not only do you get the power, you get the space you need in your workshop for everything else.

You may not have previously considered getting a set of mobile column lifts, but their adaptability, durability and operational ease can make them one of the most useful items in your workshop.

Unsure if mobile column hoists are right for your garage? Here are a few of their benefits…

Free up Your Work Bays

When running a busy workshop, space is paramount. Mobile column lifts are easily stored away so they don’t take up valuable work space when you’re not using them. And you’re able to set them up ANYWHERE, so you can turn your car park area or another empty space into a work bay if needed.

You can even add jack stands to support one vehicle, and then move the mobile column hoists over to raise another. It’s like having two pairs of lifts for the price of one!

Lift Heavy Vehicles of ANY Size

Of course, mobile column lifts are often used for trucks and buses. But what if you need to lift up a semi-trailer or an articulated bus? Or if you only want to lift a car or van? Just add or remove sets as you need to, and you’ll be prepared for anything.

Our cable-controlled mobile column lifts are synchronised to lift at exactly the same speed. The circuit connection makes it easy to add more lifts as you need them — so you can be sure ALL your mobile column lifts will work at the touch of one button.

Elevate to Perfect Heights

Working in the pit can be difficult and uncomfortable. Your staff members would prefer to be working above ground, where things are easier to reach and they aren’t in danger of inhaling the harmful gasses that can accumulate in a low-lying, enclosed area. With a set of mobile column hoists, it’s easy to elevate vehicles to the perfect height for maintenance.


Just a few reasons why you should choose the LiftMax mobile column lifts from Levanta…

• LiftMax lifts are engineered to be incredibly light and easy to manoeuvre. 
• They’re designed to be extremely compact — storing one set takes up less than two pallet spaces!
• Unlike some other brands of mobile column lift, the electrical components for LiftMax are available off the shelf from a range of electrical suppliers, so it’s easy to obtain spare parts.
• The high quality engineering of LiftMax even extends to the materials used for the main screw. Cold rolled screws have been chosen over lathe cut screws, resulting in superior durability and a greatly extended service life.
