What Are Lift Radius Plates for MOT Class 4 & 7 Applications?
Lift Radius Plates are crucial components used in the wheel alignment process during MOT tests. Positioned on a vehicle lift, these plates allow the wheels of a vehicle to move freely to facilitate accurate wheel alignment checks. They are particularly critical for Class 4 and Class 7 vehicles, providing the necessary range of movement to inspect alignment under MOT regulations effectively.
Why Are They Important?
Lift Radius Plates are vital in ensuring that vehicles meet the stringent alignment standards required for MOT certification. Proper alignment is essential for the safety of the vehicle, impacting tyre wear, fuel efficiency, and overall road handling. For MOT test centres, the ability to perform precise and compliant wheel alignments can significantly affect the facility's operational efficiency and reputation. Furthermore, using high-quality, durable garage equipment like heavy-duty ball bearing radius plates help reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
