Hunter Highlights Vol. 82

First GSP9700 With StraightTrak® LFM Shipped to Florida Tire Retailer

The first production GSP9700 Vibration Control System with the StraightTrak® LFM feature was recently shipped to South Trail Tire, an independent Ft. Meyers, Florida, tire sales and general automotive service shop. Keeping with Hunter tradition, the unit was christened by key project staff using a touch of aged bourbon just prior to shipment. This GSP9700 is the second unit purchased by South Trail Tire in the last three years.

Hunter Vice President of Production Bill Luehm and key project staff members christen the first production GSP9700 to be equipped with the new StraightTrak® LFM feature.

Investment in Hunter Equipment Helps Heavy-Duty Shop-Owner Build His Business

In his recent letter to Hunter Engineering, Tony Parish, president of ProLube, an Illinois-based independent heavy-duty truck service operation, described the significant growth he experienced after a strategic investment in new Hunter inspection and alignment equipment. Specializing in fleet maintenance and engine service, Parish added alignment service in 1995. It paid for itself within the year.

Three years later, the addition of a Hunter B400T Brake Tester and state inspection certification helped steer even more brake and wheel service to the shop. His recent upgrade to a Hunter R611M27-T Windows®-based, cordless aligner added 30% to his alignment service volume and recovered his investment in six months!
