Sept. 18, 2012

Hunter's Road Force Touch has received the prestigious Automechanika Innovation Award.

Held in Frankfurt, Germany, Automechanika is the world's largest and most global automotive service show, Hunter reports. Nearly 5,000 exhibitors from 79 countries attended the show, presenting over 13,000 new products. Hunter was the only award winner from the United States.

The Road Force Touch, which provides quick, complete wheel and tire diagnostics, was selected for the award by an elite jury of automotive experts who judged new products based on the technology's overall innovation, functionality, aftermarket relevance, safety, and contribution to environmental protection.

The balancer performs a simulated road test using Hunter's patented load roller to find hidden vibration problems and offers match-mounting instructions to minimize forces.

The Road Force Touch also features a new intuitive touchscreen interface and patented eCal true auto-calibration.
