Key Features
Diagnostic Load Roller
Measures runout and detects tire high spots to eliminate vibration-causing issues. The roller presses against the tire to measure the full contact patch, enabling ForceMatch technology to optimize assembly smoothness and extend tire life.
TDC Laser Vision System
Touchless laser measurement automatically scans rim dimensions and detects low spots without operator input. Eliminates manual dimension entry, reduces setup errors, and accelerates balance cycles compared to traditional HD balancers.
Integrated Wheel Lift
Built-in wheel lift assists with mounting heavy assemblies up to 500 lbs safely and efficiently. Features a damper for smooth operation, reducing technician strain and improving productivity on heavy-duty wheel service.
Automatic CenteringCheck
Patented technology monitors wheel centering with every spin to prevent improper balancing and customer comebacks. Ensures accurate balance results by detecting and alerting to mounting issues before they cause vibration problems.
SmartWeight Technology
Enhanced SmartWeight optimizes weight placement to achieve better balance with fewer weights and less labor. Focuses on hop forces most likely felt by drivers while keeping wobble forces in check for maximum efficiency.
Ink Jet Printer with Storage
Integrated printer documents balance results for customer records and quality control. Stores data for easy retrieval and helps shops track service history, justify recommendations, and improve customer communication.
