All this would not be possible without correct and accurate wheel alignment. Built in Britain by the constantly improving team at JCB Landpower. The Cheadle based manufacturing site has always been committed to constantly improving the drivability and performance of the Fastrac. Starting with old gauges way back making the best of old technology and then around 2010 advancing to a laser system. With improved results combined with a basic alignment software calculation

program things are again improved but could be much better. Early 2023 JCB Landpower made the next step into the electronic world of wheel alignment. With the installation of the AXIS4000 Agri System. This is a modified system with larger Floating non friction plates to allow for the wider tyres and higher tripods for the higher chassis centerline for the measuring gauges. Other than that, the standard system. Now the alignment team can produce fast accurate results with live adjustments. This creates easy workflow and precise measuring. The training and installation on the AXIS4000 is now down to just a few hours and the staff are confident. With instructions supporting the user step by step through the measuring process all the hard work is done by the system.

The three-man team who specialise in the wheel alignment of both the Fastrac variants can obtain accurate readings in just a few minutes from start to finish. The vehicles can be measured on the line while in production or when ready for the PDI.
