How many times have you been told that to do alignment in your shop you need to

have a lot of extra space and highly priced equipment turns out you don't

I'll go over six reasons why Rotary's alignment equipment can save you space,

money, and help you be more efficient.

Number one: No Towers.

Depending on which Rotary alignment system you choose the

cameras are either mounted to the lift

or built into the measuring heads

eliminating those large bulky camera towers.

That means more room for important things...

like an entertainment center

a bathtub...

or a ping-pong table.

Number Two: No Compensation or Rollback

explaining why other systems require you to roll the vehicle back and forth

before you can get to work would be a waste of time...

And we don't like to waste, so just know you don't have to do that with ours.

Number Three: No Interrupted Signal

Rotaries alignment system doesn't have a tower -

We interupt this regularly scheduled alignment for no reason at all.

As I was saying youdon't have to worry about

accidentally blocking the signal

and screwing up your measurements.

Number Four: No Height Limitations

Some alignment systems require how high

or low a lift is set,

but hours can be used at any height.

So no matter how big or how small your technicians are we've got you covered

Number Five: No Worries About Cost

Typically purchasing a premium alignment system

can break the bank.

But with our new equipment you get the quality and

performance you'd expect from Rotary

without the premium price tag.

Number Six: No Four Post Lifts Required

Rotary's alignment systems don't require a specific type of lift.

So whether you want a Y-lift, a four post, an inground

a scissor or no lift at all

you get the flexibility to set your shop up the way you want it.

Minister admits new Severn Tunnel electrification equipment is rusting - Duration: 8:53.

 The UK's transport minister has admitted the Severn Tunnel's closure is down to new overhead electrification equipment rusting

 Jo Johnson said that the cabling installed the last time it was closed is deteriorating because conditions are "wet" and "corrosive" inside the tunnel

 Trains are being diverted via Gloucester and the situation has been condemned as "hopeless" and "beyond belief"

 The tunnel was shut for six weeks in September 2016 as part of a £10m upgrade to prepare the historic rail route for electrification

 The latest delays for travellers, which are due to continue until July 7, will raise further questions about the competence of both Whitehall and Network Rail to carry out major infrastructure projects

 Network Rail said it was taking the "opportunity" to maintain the new equipment because work on Bristol's Patchway tunnels necessitated closing the Severn Tunnel

  Paul Harding of Railfuture , which campaigns for a better rail network, was in no doubt about what travellers will think of the admission that newly-installed overhead conductor system is starting to deteriorate

 He said: "Passengers and taxpayers are not going to be happy that equipment installed less than two years ago is already rusting

Passengers have faced months of inconvenience with diversions and line closures due to the electrification programme and it looks as though there'll be much more disruption before the benefits even begin to be felt

 "There are lessons for the whole rail industry here about planning, construction and procurement

Hopefully these lessons can be learnt before electrification of the core valleys lines begin

" Transport Minister admits 'early signs of deterioration' detected  Transport Minister Jo Johnson admitted the problems in a response to Blaenau Gwent Labour MP Nick Smith

 Mr Smith tabled the following written question: "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether electrical equipment installed during the previous closure of the Severn Tunnel has rusted

"  Mr Johnson responded: "The overhead conductor system is showing early signs of deterioration because of the wet and corrosive environment in the Severn Tunnel

Network Rail have identified this early on and are addressing this matter prior to energisation of the electrification system

"  Mr Smith also asked "what assessment he has made of the economic effect of the temporary closure of the Severn Tunnel"

 Mr Johnson said: "Network Rail have closed the Severn Tunnel in preparation for electrification from London to Cardiff from June 16-July 7

In preparation for the £5bn modernisation of the Great Western Mainline, the Department funded the Swindon to Kemble redoubling project to provide a robust diversionary route for passengers and freight to South Wales

"  There was fury last year when the UK Government announced just as Parliament broke up for the summer that it had scrapped plans to electrify the line from Cardiff to Swansea

  The project had become infamous for escalating costs, with the National Audit Office sounding the alarm bell in November 2016 with a warning that the estimated bill for Great Western electrification had increased by £2

1bn since 2013 to £5.58bn. 'It beggars belief these problems weren't picked up on sooner'  Mr Smith was unimpressed by the Transport Minister's response

 He said: "This is hopeless.  "Anyone needing to get from South Wales to London has to put up with longer journeys and major disruption all because Network Rail failed to keep their kit in proper condition from the get-go

The new equipment has got to be safe to use from the start, so it beggars belief these problems weren't picked up on sooner

 "Why weren't more precautions taken when it was installed in the first place? It's not as if they didn't know what the tunnel was like

Network Rail didn't do their job then, so once again, it's Welsh rail users who are picking up the tab now

" Here is Network Rail's explanation for what's going on   A Network Rail spokeswoman restated the rail infrastructure owner's explanation explanation for the works, saying: "The Severn Tunnel and Patchway tunnels in Bristol are closed for three weeks so engineers can deliver essential modernisation and electrification work on the Mainline in Bristol and South Wales

The work in the Patchway tunnels involves lowering the track to accommodate the overhead line equipment needed to power trains running on electricity

 "In order for engineers to safely carry out this work, the Severn Tunnel must also be closed to trains

We are taking this opportunity to build on the modernisation work delivered in the tunnel during autumn 2016, including maintaining the new equipment and drainage system and removing redundant cables and telecoms equipment

"  Looking after the new equipment involves cleaning the "conductor beam system". This will now form part of Network Rail's annual tunnel maintenance

 It will also make improvements to some sections of the system which are in parts of the tunnel considered "especially harsh"

This will, its is hoped, reduce future maintenance requirements.  The work has resulted in trains from South Wales being diverted via Gloucester – adding another 40 minutes to journeys – and rail replacement services between Newport and Bristol
