    Rema Tip Top/North America Inc.'s Universal Mounting Paste is designed to make the tire mounting process cleaner and quicker without causing bead damage or stained aluminum or alloy wheels. The paste is available in 7.7- and 22-pound plastic pails that include a polyfoam applicator.

    Alignment

    The LC 4000 laser and computer alignment gauging system from Bee Line Co. gives wheel and tandem alignment for both cars and light trucks, the firm said.

    The system, which features audible and visual indicators displayed on a 19-inch color monitor, measures variables to 1/1000th of an inch. The LC 4000 contains a printer and an IBM compatible computer that also serves as a customer database. CD-ROM hardware is available with the system as an option.

    The lubricant, available in 5-and 55-gallon containers, seals out moisture, retards rust and acts as a release agent when demounting the tires, according to American Grease Stick.

    Contact: American Grease Stick Co., Dept. TB, P.O. Box 729, Muskegon, Mich. 49443; (800) 253-0403 or (616) 733-2101 in Michigan.

    The unit does not require floor anchoring, Rema said.

    Compressors

    Stellar Industries Inc. has introduced the Stellar Model SUH-60 Underhood Air Compressor for heavy-duty tire service or applications that require high-volume air, the firm said.

    The electric clutch-operated SUH-60 is rated at 37 cfm with a maximum operating pressure of 155 psi and has deep cooling fins to minimize heat build-up. The unit, which weighs 105 pounds, is available in air- or water-cooled models.
