MK Technologies introduces the Automatic Digital Ride Height Gauge

Our gauge is a deceptively simple yet accurate new way to measure ride height on any vehicle. It is aimed at the type of racecar where extremely low vehicle ride heights make it difficult to measure them.

The gauge is used with our top-of-the-line scale platforms. Three to four gauges, depending on the car type, are effective at measuring ride height accurately from side to side and front to rear.

The car is rolled up onto the platform into place on the scales. The user actuates the ride height gauge arms from the control box. The arms will “pop” up into contact with the bottom of the car and the gauge readout will display the heights measured from each location.

The gauges can remain in contact with the car for taking measurements as the heights are being adjusted. Once the user has completed measuring the ride heights a switch on the control box retracts the gauge arms.
 

The ride height values are measured in 0.001” and are accurate to within + / - 0.005” from zero inches to as much as four inches on a standard model MKT Ride Height Gauge. Repeatability of measured values is excellent.

Why do you need the MKT Ride Height Gauge?  Only if you want the best set-up on your car possible without standing on your head to get these measurements!



New Scale Platform Innovations For 2010

MK Technologies, motorsports’ leading manufacturer of scale platforms since 1992, continues their tradition of innovation with new and improved MKT3000 and MKT3500 scale platforms.

The new designs are now adjustable for both track and wheelbase, providing the flexibility needed to set up a wide variety of vehicles.

Our scale platforms are well known for outstanding rigidity, but here at MK Technologies we are continually looking at new ways to build better products for our customers.

That's why we've designed enhanced scale pocket stiffeners into our new MKT3000 and MKT3500, creating the most rigid scale platforms on the market.

But perhaps the best innovation of all is the price.
 

Prices for the new improved MKT3000 and MKT3500 scale platforms will remain unchanged! Please see our individual product pages for pricing, product details and accessories.

MK Technologies own ZeD brand of wireless zero deflection scale pads are available for all platforms.
