The Katool KT-TP1 alignment turn plates are a pair of low-profile front-wheel turntables designed for use during wheel alignment work on 4-post lifts, scissor lifts, and 3D alignment systems. They allow the front wheels to rotate freely under vehicle weight, which is essential when measuring and adjusting toe, camber, and caster with accuracy. By reducing friction between the tire and lift surface, the plates ensure the suspension settles naturally during adjustments instead of binding or dragging.
Each plate features a concentric centering grid that helps position the tire consistently in the middle of the surface, improving repeatability during alignment setups. Around the rotating face, an etched degree scale allows technicians to read steering angle directly, which is useful when fine-tuning toe settings or verifying steering response. A built-in locking pin system keeps the plates fixed in place while driving onto or off the lift, improving safety and preventing unwanted movement during setup.
The low-profile design makes the KT-TP1 suitable for a wide range of alignment racks, especially where clearance is limited. Integrated cut-out carry handles in the base make the pair easy to reposition between bays without awkward lifting or rolling. This keeps workflow smooth in busy shops where alignment equipment is shared across multiple service stations.
These turn plates are a practical fit for alignment-focused workshops, general repair shops, and tire centers that perform regular suspension or steering adjustments and need consistent, repeatable setup conditions for accurate alignment readings.
