Frequently Asked Questions

What is SmartWeight® technology and how does it improve balancing?+
SmartWeight® is Hunter's patented software that focuses on the hop forces most felt by drivers while keeping wobble forces in check. It prioritizes single-weight solutions, achieving them 60% of the time versus traditional methods, while reducing total weight usage by up to 30% and improving balance accuracy.
How does the no-touch measurement system work on the SWP08?+
The SWP08 uses internal and external lasers to measure wheel dimensions without physical contact. The internal laser identifies rim type and weight placement points, while the external laser automatically measures wheel width when the hood is lowered, eliminating dataset arm wear and improving reliability.
Can the SWP08 be installed in a small shop with limited space?+
Yes, the SWP08 features a space-saving hood design that opens toward the rear, allowing the balancer to be installed flush against a wall. This compact configuration maximizes shop floor space while maintaining full functionality and ease of access.
What training and support does Hunter provide with the SWP08?+
Hunter provides free on-site training with every balancer purchase. The SWP08 also includes built-in training videos covering basic and advanced balancing procedures in multiple languages, plus an intuitive single-knob interface with 3D graphics that simplifies learning and daily operation.
