The American Council of Frame and Alignment Specialists (ACOFAS) recently held a two-day training clinic for both frame technicians and insurance adjusters in Akron, Ohio. Akron Wheel and Frame
and its owners, the James Roark family, hosted the clinic.
Participants took part in straightening the frame of a dump trailer and the dump box, a Sterling tractor that had been in a head-on collision and a Mack quad dump truck that had tipped over. Each student was allowed to assess the damage, recommend the straightening process and make the corrections.
Future ACOFAS training clinics include one next March on “Recreational Vehicle Suspension and Steering Enhancements” in Elk River, Minn., and another called “ABS and ABS-6 Braking System and Their Effect on Steering and Front End Alignment” scheduled for May 2007 in Huntington, Ind.
ACOFAS technician training clinics are open to ACOFAS members and their technicians, ACOFAS associate members and other interested parties. All members are encouraged to use the ACOFAS Forum for technical questions and problem solving. Visit www.acofas.com.
