Hofmann Megaplan 'Optus' Drive-Through Wheel Alignment System
The Hofmann Megaplan Optus system is a groundbreaking touchless, clamp-free wheel alignment solution that can deliver a full geometry reading in just 5 seconds. With four advanced scanners, the system measures alignment as the vehicle drives through, requiring no run-out compensation, clamps, or intervention from the driver—making it one of the most efficient systems on the market.
The Optus is highly versatile and can be tailored to different operational needs. It's available as a pre-check system that integrates seamlessly with existing alignment equipment or as a fully functional alignment system. For those looking to offer even more, an optional tyre tread scanner can be added, providing detailed insights into tyre health in moments.
By eliminating manual processes and significantly reducing alignment times, the Hofmann Megaplan Optus enables tyre shops to increase vehicle throughput while maintaining pinpoint accuracy and enhancing customer satisfaction.
Hofmann Megaplan 'FastTouch' Wheel Balancer
The Hofmann Megaplan FastTouch wheel balancer redefines simplicity and speed. Designed with efficiency in mind, the FastTouch wheel balancer eliminates the need for manual or even gauge-based entry of rim parameters. Once the wheel is mounted, the operator aligns two lasers and simply taps the tyre. The machine then automatically registers all necessary data.
The entire process—from setup to completion—takes under 4 seconds. After the balancing cycle, the machine automatically positions and locks the rim for precise weight application. Its advanced OWB (One Weight Balance) technology further enhances efficiency by using inner and outer imbalances to counteract each other. This results in up to a 70% reduction in wheel weights, offering a significant cost-saving advantage for tyre shops.
Already adopted by two of the UK's largest tyre chains, the Hofmann Megaplan FastTouch wheel balancer is quickly becoming a staple for operators looking to save time, money, and resources without compromising quality.
Luxus 714 Tyre Changer
The Luxus 714 Tyre Changer, part of the rebranded Luxus range (previously Hofmann Megaplan), introduces the innovative DualForce™ bead breaker, a feature that represents a major leap forward in tyre-changing technology.
Traditional bead breakers, which rely on foot-operated controls, often lack precision and can inadvertently cause damage to rims, especially those with shallow wells like BMWs. The DualForce™ bead breaker addresses this with fully controllable operation, allowing technicians to start, stop, or adjust the bead-breaking process with either foot or thumb controls. This added precision prevents potential rim damage and improves operator safety.
Tested rigorously in one of the UK's busiest tyre shops, the DualForce™ was unanimously praised by technicians as "the best bead breaker we've ever used." The system not only enhances accuracy but also simplifies challenging jobs, making it a must-have for professional tyre shops.
See These Innovations in Action
All three of these cutting-edge solutions— Hofmann Megaplan Optus, wheel alignment system , Hofmann Megaplan FastTouch wheel balancer and Luxus 714 tyre changer —are available for demonstration at ISN Garage Assist's showroom near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
These 'triple threat' innovations are designed to help professional tyre shops stay ahead of the curve, delivering unmatched efficiency, precision, and profitability.
