Vehicles & axle layouts

The Vehicles area is your fleet register. It stores registration or identifier details, axle layout, wheel configuration, and historical context that flows through into jobs, reports, and customer visibility.

Why accurate vehicle setup matters

Vehicle setup is not just administrative. It directly affects how wheel maps render, how staff interpret position-specific findings, and how reports group information for the customer. If a vehicle’s layout is wrong, the rest of the tyre data becomes harder to trust.

• Creating a vehicle can use lookups or guided suggestions depending on your deployment and regional settings.
• Axle layout codes describe how many axles exist and how tyres are arranged, such as rigid truck layouts, dual-per-side setups, super-single trailers, or heavier multi-row configurations.
• The workshop can maintain reusable layout templates under Workshop → Axle layouts so staff are not recreating common configurations from scratch.
• Wheel profiles, common sizes, and reminders help the desk plan ahead for stock, servicing patterns, and follow-up work.

Vehicle records and jobs

Wheel maps on jobs respect the vehicle’s stored layout, so dual wheels, super-single trailers, and heavy-haul row layouts can display correctly. That means the quality of job output depends heavily on getting the vehicle right before the inspection data is reviewed or sent to the customer.

If you discover a layout issue after jobs have already been created, correct the vehicle carefully and review any affected jobs or reports so future work stays consistent.
