DSP306E Sensors mounted on MKS Alignment Sensor Brackets

Includes Mercedes-Benz compliant MKS Alignment Sensor Brackets (set of four).
Extra-wide 22 1/2” runways handle a wide variety of passenger cars, light and medium trucks.
Runways are heavy-duty 5/16” steel, compared to commonly used 1/4” or 11/64” lighter weight materials.
Full floating, 80” long rear wheel slip plates included.
Standard 8,000 lb. capacity Swing Air-Jack adds capability of lifting vehicles off the runways during alignment procedures. Includes one Center-Lift Jack Adaptor.
Built-in rub rails add drive-on safety.
Front and rear wheel stops and two wheel chocks (not pictured) are standard.
Two-stage, heavy duty gusseted rear ramps automatically flip up to act as wheel stops. Wheel rollers won't damage floor. Low approach angle for low-ground clearance vehicles.
Louvered ramps prevent wheel spin, are more effective than diamond tread or abrasive strips in wet weather.
Integral Harting Rack Wiring Kit and air kit included.
