CHASSIS SET UP EQUIPMENT

A small variation in height at each scale pad can significantly effect the scale reading,

 

VMEP stock sizes of set up floors are adjustable in track width, wheelbase and height which allows for each scale to be positioned centrally to the wheel and level to one another over their stated ranges, providing accurate, repeatable readings.

​

Each floor is supplied fully built up in sections and consists of the following:

  • 4 X pad levellers

  • 2 X access ramps

  • 2 X wheelbase connection ramps (2 piece, one slide adjuster)

  • 2 X track width connection ramps (2 piece, one slide adjuster)

  • 2 X roll of ramps with wheel stop

​

The sections of the floor slot together with a bobbin/slot design and feature a level , making for fast assembly and disassembly. The sections can also be locked in place by using the spacers and wing nuts provided with each kit.

​

High quality studs screw into threaded bosses welded to each floor section, which provides up to 30mms of height adjustment.

​

Standard pad levellers are designed to suit 15X15X2.5" scales, but using the bespoke floor option can be made to suit your scale requirements.

​

VMEP bump steer gauges can be attached to the floor with the use of a stand which is available separately or part of the stage kits available. This provides a rigid mount for the gauge and ensures the dials are perpendicular to the floor surface, whilst our turn plates are also designed to be used with the floor. Scales are removed and the turn plates attached in place.

​

The purpose built flight case kits provide safe and secure transportation of the floor, with two cases required to carry the complete floor and four corner weight scales. Space is also provided electronic control boxes.

​

Three stock sizes are detailed below, whilst bespoke floors can also be made to order.

The advantage of a bespoke floor is that it can be fixed to your vehicle dimensions, which will save time with the initial setting up of the floor.

VMEP Set Up Floor® - To Suit Existing Pad Levellers

Designed to be used with existing pad levellers such as Intercomp, this floor connects each scale pad together and allows for accurate and repeatable results to be achieved.

​

The floor is designed in the same way as with our other floors and includes all of the same sections, except that the pad levellers are swapped for covers. The covers go over the top of existing pad levellers, and the floor sections then slot into the covers.

​

Each scale cover has location pieces underneath to accurately locate each scale within them, with enough space at each corner left to adjust corner studs for height adjustment.

​

The floors are adjustable in track width, wheelbase and height.

​

Please get in touch if this floor conversion is of interest to you.

 

Made to order, typically within 2-3 weeks, with flight case kits also available to carry all floor items.
