What Are Radius Plates for Pits for Class 4 & 7 MOT Applications?

Radius Plates for Pits are specialised garage equipment designed for wheel alignment within an MOT testing pit. They facilitate the free movement required to assess a vehicle's wheel alignment during Class 4 (cars and small vans) and Class 7 (larger goods vehicles up to 3,500kg capacity) MOT tests. Unlike lift radius plates which get mounted on vehicle lifts, these plates are integrated into the floor structure of the pits where the vehicles are driven over them.

Why Are They Important?

In an MOT station, the accuracy of wheel alignment is not just about compliance; it significantly impacts vehicle safety and drivability. Radius Plates for Pits are therefore pivotal for an MOT bay, ensuring that wheels can move with minimal resistance to determine any misalignment correctly. Use of these plates can be the difference between an MOT pass or fail, making them an indispensable part of the process.

Key Features:

• Pair of Radius Plates with Rubber Stoppers: Ideal for preventing over-rotation, offering additional safety and precision during alignment checks.

• Pair of Radius Plates with Scales: These plates come equipped with scales for easy reading and accurate measurement, supporting meticulous alignment services.

• Pair of Radius Plates with Low Profile Ramp: The low-profile ramp provides a smooth approach for various vehicle types whilst still maintaining the functionality required for precise alignment evaluations.

• Pair of Heavy Duty Pit Radius Plates: Constructed for endurance and to withstand the high demands of busy MOT bays, these plates are the linchpin of reliable, long-term service.

FAQs:

• What type of replacement/spare parts are typically needed for pit radius plates?
