Overview

The Hunter RFE11 Road Force Elite is a diagnostic wheel balancer that delivers complete wheel assembly diagnostics faster than traditional balancers. This configuration includes the Wheel Lift System for effortless wheel handling and an Ink Jet Printer with storage for professional documentation. Using a patented Road Force roller that mimics vehicle load conditions, the RFE11 identifies and solves hidden vibration and pull issues that standard balancers cannot detect. Advanced SmartWeight technology and automatic vision-based dimension entry streamline the balancing process, while ForceMatching and StraightTrak diagnostics ensure every wheel assembly delivers the smoothest possible ride.

Key Features

Road Force Measurement

Diagnostic roller applies variable force up to 1,250 lbs to simulate vehicle load, detecting tire and wheel assembly issues that cause vibration even when balanced

Vision-Based Automation

Inner and outer camera assemblies use structured light to automatically scan wheel dimensions during spin, eliminating manual measurement and reducing operator error

ForceMatching Technology

Locates the stiffest area of the tire and lowest spot on the rim, recommending match-mounting positions to cancel radial-force vibration up to 50% faster than previous versions

StraightTrak Pull Detection

Measures individual tire pull forces and recommends optimal wheel placement to eliminate vehicle drift and ensure straight tracking

Wheel Lift System

Integrated lifting mechanism reduces technician strain and speeds wheel mounting and removal for assemblies up to 175 lbs

Ink Jet Printer with Storage

Built-in printer with convenient storage provides professional documentation of balance results, Road Force values, and diagnostic recommendations

Ideal Applications

Diagnose and resolve vibration complaints that standard balancers miss, reducing comebacks and building customer trust
Deliver premium tire installation service with documented proof of quality, differentiating from competitors
Meet manufacturer requirements for diagnostic balancing equipment used by many automotive OEMs in their facilities
Ensure optimal wheel assembly performance for performance and luxury vehicles with exacting balance requirements

Other Configurations

This model is also built in 1 other configuration. They are the same machine with a different build. Liftnow quotes whichever one matches your specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Road Force Elite different from a standard wheel balancer?+
The Road Force Elite performs both traditional balance and Road Force Measurement in a single operation. The diagnostic roller applies up to 1,250 lbs of force to simulate how the wheel assembly performs under vehicle load, detecting issues like tire stiffness variations, rim distortions, and pull forces that cause vibration even when wheels are perfectly balanced. This diagnostic capability solves problems standard balancers cannot detect.
What is included with the RFE11 model configuration?+
The RFE11 includes the Wheel Lift System for easier handling of heavy wheel assemblies up to 175 lbs, and an Ink Jet Printer with storage for professional documentation. It features automatic vision-based dimension measurement, CenteringCheck, SmartWeight optimization, ForceMatching, and StraightTrak pull detection. The base unit handles assemblies up to 40-inch tire diameter and 30-inch rim diameter.
How does SmartWeight technology reduce weight usage?+
Enhanced SmartWeight utilizes a scanned rim profile to analyze the complete wheel geometry and identify optimal single-weight placement locations. By placing weights more intelligently based on the actual rim contour, the system uses up to 30% less weight on average compared to traditional balancing methods, saving money on every balance while achieving superior results.
Can I purchase the Hunter RFE11 through cooperative contracts?+
Yes, Liftnow is an authorized Hunter dealer offering the RFE11 through multiple cooperative purchasing contracts including Sourcewell 121223-LFT, NASPO ValuePoint CW7256, and Florida Sheriffs FSA23-EQU21.0, providing streamlined procurement for government agencies, educational institutions, and other qualifying organizations.
