Wheel Alignment lifts

[HK Blackbird]

Our shop is being refitted with all new equipment.

Up for discussion is the choice of wheel alignment lifts.

The local distribution here in Hong Kong, has two brands on offer:

Hunter, who are well known and reputable, and Ravaglioli, who are well-represented, but

relatively unknown to me.

Does anyone here have any information to share on the pro's and cons of these two?

 

I've had mixed results with Italian equipment in the past, some good, some tragic.

Hoping to avoid any unnecessary shedding of tears, blood and cash.

I researched Rav once before. The US distributor is a helluva guy. Very nice and knowledgeable however didn't have a distribution network so I was worried about repairs and such. If Rav has a repair and distribution network in HK then I would look into it further, if not then go with who ever is going to support your equipment the most.

Hunter is expensive but well worth the money in the long run. We've tried a couple of others over the last 40+ years and nothing has lasted as well as the Hunter lifts.

The Rav is equipment is excellent. Here in Florida the support and and service is second to none. It is being handled by the ex Hunter Regional mgr for over 30 years. Most people do know this, but Hunter tire changers are not made by Hunter. Except the over priced Revolution. There machines have made by BUTLER from Italy. Which by the way is owned by RAvagliol. You must ck out the equipment 1st hand, excellent quality. As for the there ALIGNER, state of the art. NO RUN OUT needed, no bay restrictions due to cameras in front of the vehicle. Can get reading literally any were in the shop, without moving the console. Used quick touch less wheel clamps! Readings in seconds anywhere.
