HD Wheel Alignment Services in Edmonton, AB

Why Truck Alignments are Important: Wheel alignments play a significant role in preventive maintenance. Misalignment in a heavy-duty truck may result in an increase in tire wear rate, poor fuel economy, and driver discomfort. This can translate into higher operation costs for your semi-truck or fleet.

Our HD technicians will inspect your truck's alignment and perform corrections on your tractor trailer's suspension to ensure all wheels are pointed in an optimal manner.

The Benefits of Big Truck Alignments

Keeping up on wheel maintenance has its perks. Did you know:

• Wheel alignments are designed to realign wheels to a straighter roll position on the road for less roll resistance. Less roll resistance means less friction, and ultimately, better fuel economy, tire life, component wear, and decreased driver fatigue.
• Front end alignments on commercial trucks are especially important since the back wheels on the tandem axles have to follow in their tracks. Misaligned tandem axles will cause the truck to “thrust” or “scrub,” resulting in a vehicle being pushed out of straight line travel. Every service begins with a front end alignment and extends to all tandem axles.
• If your drivers complain of fighting the wheel, or the truck pulling to the side, then a semi-truck alignment service is a necessary procedure to counteract these effects of misaligned wheels.

The next time you need a big truck alignment, contact Gripco Tire Sales. We use specialized commercial wheel alignment equipment to ensure precision while saving you time.

In the transportation industry, the two highest operating expenses are fuel and tires. Alignment plays a key role in these areas. Routine truck alignments can reduce your overall operating costs by decreasing the rate of tire wear, including irregular tire wear that accumulates over thousands of miles.

Typically, we recommend scheduling truck alignments every 50,000 to 60,000 miles to keep your heavy-duty trucks operating in top conditions. Depending on your trucks and application, recommendation intervals may vary. We would be happy to discuss alignment intervals based on your business.
