If floor space is at a premium in your shop, as it is in most shops, the Bee Line Space Saver Approach Ramp is what you need.

Bee Line has designed the Space Saver Approach Ramp to be installed in a smaller area than a standard ramp alignment system by reducing the total number of machine sections required. The design of the Space Saver Approach Ramp allows a major portion of the ramp to be raised hydraulically to an operating level equal to the height of the Advanced Aligner Runway, placing the vehicle at a convenient work height. This truly is one of the most innovative alignment runways sold today.

If you lease your facility, then the Bee Line Space Saver Approach Ramp is a must for you. Since a pit system is fixed and immobile, and the Bee Line system can be moved from facility to facility, you do not need to worry about losing money from the investment in the pit installation being left behind if you relocate. In essence, this approach ramp becomes an integral part of your entire portable aligner system.

The Bee Line Space Saver Approach Ramp also eliminates the problems associated with pit drainage, pit leakage, and soil contamination, making EPA compliance much easier.

The Bee Line Space Saver Approach Ramp System is another example of how Bee Line continues to set the standard for wheel and frame alignment in the heavy-duty trucking industry. If you have been searching for more portable aligner solutions, these Space Saver alignment runways are for you!

Approach Ramp Advantages

Ramp length allows low profile busses and RV’s to drive onto these alignment runways without bottoming out. The incline has been lowered over 2 degrees from our previous Space Saver model!

The Space Saver Alignment System is located totally above ground adding these great benefits:

Easier to maintain and clean
No air circulation requirements
No water problems associated with pits
No exhaust fan requirements
No building permits, digging or EPA considerations – making for a cleaner, more portable aligner solution
Lessen insurance and injury worries

Bee Line Portable Runway

Raise portable alignments to the next level with the new lightweight aluminum Bee Line Portable Runway sections.

Bee Line adds a new dimension to portable alignments by designing aluminum portable runways that raise vehicles 8 inches off shop floors. This extra clearance allows access under the vehicle when making alignment adjustments, and also when performing general vehicle maintenance. Raising the entire vehicle to an operating level ensures safe and accurate measurements.

Bee Line designed this portable runway system with your shop’s valuable time and floor space in mind. Runway sections can be assembled in a matter of minutes - and, when they are not being used, sections can be securely stack on a portable cart that helps speed set-up and take-down time. Stacked portable runways roll away and take up very little space.

When portable runways are used with the Bee Line 7600 Floor Jack and the 2954OP Low Profile Kingpin Turning Aligners, all alignment measurements can be taken including runout, toe, camber, caster, steering stops, turnout on turns, and KPI. Toe can easily be adjusted with the vehicle on the portable runways.

Runway Sections are connected with locking channels that allow individual sections to be quickly removed.

Sections snap-lock together and can be easily transported with the 402620 cart.

The new Bee Line 7600 Floor Jack securely lifts the vehicles front end while taking runout measurements.

Portable runways are ideal for use with the Bee Line Drive Over Frame Press. After the press raises the vehicle, portable runway sections can be removed and stacked to keep the vehicle elevated while frame adjustments are being performed. Cab corrections can also be made by utilizing the Bee Line Power Tower.

Aluminum portable runways allow even the lowest profile vehicles enough clearance to transverse the Bee Line Drive Over Frame Press for safe and accurate portable alignments.

Bee Line 7600 Floor Jack

Outstanding design and performance make the Bee Line 7600 the ultimate Air Floor Jack / Hydraulic Floor Jack on the market today – period!

The 7600 Floor Jack with short axle supports

The Bee Line 7600 floor jack can lift vehicles from any two separate points of contact along its 33 inch beam. This feature alone produces a far greater degree of safety than the conventional single point floor jack. An operator has the option to utilize one of three pairs of axle supports that slide to any position on the beam and guarantee the desired lift whether the truck is on the floor, on portable turn plates, or on portable runways.

Once the jack is in position and air is applied, lifting the vehicle is done with a push of the button. As the vehicle is lifted, the jack’s spring loaded casters depress and allow the base of the entire jack to rest on the floor creating a foundation for a very stable and very safe lift.

Converting this air floor jack / hydraulic floor jack into a single point floor jack for operations such as wheel balancing can be done by simply sliding one of the short axle supports to the center of the beam.

With the vehicle raised, wheel runout calculation can be performed

33 inch lifting beam lowers to a minimum height of 8 1/2 inches and raises to 20 inches.
(11 1/2 inch stroke)
The hydraulic air jack has a capacity of 10 tons.
The extended handle features 2 buttons that lift or release the jack along with a standard air hose fitting.
When spring loaded casters depress, the jack becomes a solid foundation which creates accurate wheel runout calculations.
Multiple height axle supports allow the Bee Line 7600 jack to raise a variety of vehicles to the desired height.
