Forward Lift TT1000 Wheel Alignment Turntable Set for Four-Post Lifts
The Forward Lift TT1000 Standard Turning Radius Gauge Kit provides professional-grade equipment for accurate wheel alignment measurements on four-post lifts. This complete kit includes two turning radius gauges with four retaining bars, offering 4,500 lb capacity per gauge (9,000 lb total) for safe operation with cars, trucks, and SUVs. The TT1000 turntables allow front wheels to rotate freely during alignment procedures while providing precise degree measurements for caster, camber, and toe-out on turns adjustments. Essential for professional alignment work, these turntables integrate seamlessly with alignment equipment to deliver accurate measurements that reduce tire wear, improve vehicle handling, and enhance customer satisfaction.
Forward Lift TT1000 Features
Accurate Turning Angle Measurements
The TT1000 turning radius gauges feature precision degree scales that measure how many degrees front wheels are turned right or left. This measurement capability is essential for caster adjustment, camber verification, and toe-out on turns testing. The clear markings and smooth rotation ensure technicians can achieve accurate readings for professional-quality alignments that meet manufacturer specifications.
Free-Rotating Turntable Design
Each turntable rotates smoothly with the vehicle's front wheel during alignment procedures, allowing precise steering angle measurements without restriction. Steel ball bearings provide smooth rotation even under load, ensuring consistent performance throughout thousands of alignment services. The turntables rotate freely when unlocked and lock securely in position when pins are engaged for safe vehicle positioning.
4,500 lb Capacity Per Gauge
With 4,500 lb capacity per gauge (2,041 kg), the TT1000 set safely supports vehicles weighing up to 9,000 lb total when both gauges are used. This substantial capacity handles most passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs, and many commercial vehicles requiring alignment service. The robust construction maintains accuracy and stability under load without deflection or movement.
Locking Pin System
Each turntable includes locking pins that secure the gauge for safe vehicle positioning and movement. When pins are engaged, the turntables cannot rotate, allowing vehicles to be safely driven onto the alignment lift and positioned correctly. Removing the pins enables free rotation for alignment measurements. This safety system prevents unexpected rotation during vehicle loading and unloading.
Professional-Grade Construction
Built from heavy-duty steel with durable finish, the TT1000 turntables withstand the daily demands of professional alignment shops. The construction resists wear from repeated vehicle loading, maintains calibration accuracy over time, and provides stable support during critical alignment measurements. Quality materials ensure long service life in busy commercial environments.
Complete Kit with Retaining Bars
The TT1000 includes four retaining bars that secure the turntables in position and prevent unwanted movement during alignment procedures. The retaining bars ensure turntables remain properly positioned under wheels throughout the alignment process, maintaining measurement accuracy and providing additional stability for precise adjustments.
Forward Lift TT1000 Applications
- Caster Angle Measurement: Measure caster angle by turning front wheels 20 degrees outward and inward while monitoring gauge readings for proper steering stability and directional control assessment.
- Camber Verification: Use turntables to position wheels at specific angles during camber measurement procedures, ensuring proper tire contact patch and even tire wear characteristics.
- Toe-Out on Turns Testing: Measure toe-out on turns (turning radius) to verify proper Ackermann steering geometry, ensuring inside and outside wheels track correctly through corners.
- Four-Wheel Alignment Services: Essential component of complete four-wheel alignment setups on four-post lifts, working in conjunction with rear slip plates and alignment equipment for comprehensive service.
- Pre-Alignment Diagnosis: Assess steering and suspension condition by observing wheel movement and rotation smoothness on turntables before beginning alignment adjustments.
- Alignment Verification: Confirm alignment adjustments by checking wheel angles on turntables after completing camber, caster, and toe adjustments to ensure specifications are met.

Forward Lift TT1000 Installation and Setup
Four-Post Lift Compatibility
The TT1000 is designed specifically for four-post automotive lifts and scissor lifts. The turntables position on the lift's runways where front wheels will rest during alignment procedures. Verify your lift's runway width and configuration accommodate the 14.5-inch square turntables before ordering. The TT1000 is compatible with Forward alignment lifts including the CRA14 and similar four-post models.
Turntable Positioning
Proper positioning is critical for accurate measurements. Place turntables on lift runways with center lines aligned with expected tire contact points. Use retaining bars to secure turntables and prevent movement during vehicle loading. Ensure turntables are level and stable before driving vehicles onto the lift. Insert locking pins before vehicle positioning and remove pins only after vehicle is safely supported on lift.
Calibration and Zero Setting
Before beginning alignment measurements, verify turntable zero points are properly set. With vehicle centered on lift and front wheels straight ahead, adjust turntable indicators to zero position. This calibration ensures accurate degree readings during caster and toe-out on turns measurements. Re-check zero settings periodically to maintain measurement accuracy.
Integration with Alignment Equipment
The TT1000 turntables work in conjunction with alignment sensors, cameras, and computer systems to provide complete wheel alignment capability. Position alignment equipment according to manufacturer specifications, ensuring turntables do not interfere with sensor placement or measurement accuracy. The turntables enable proper wheel movement during alignment procedures while alignment equipment captures measurement data.
