Description
Overview
The BendPak Ranger RB30T is a heavy-duty truck wheel balancer with a deluxe adapter kit, built for commercial truck shops and fleet operations. It balances everything from light-truck wheels to large OTR tires with a dedicated, purpose-built platform rather than a passenger machine with bigger cones.
An integrated pneumatic wheel lift handles heavy assemblies, and a 64-bit processor with multi-directional quartz sensors reads imbalance across longitudinal, transverse, and shear axes. Car mode and truck mode switch with a button, so the machine moves between wheel types without recalibration.
Key Features
- Integrated pneumatic wheel lift - raises wheels up to 330 lb to reduce strain when mounting heavy assemblies.
- Five balancing modes - Dynamic, Static, ALU1, ALU2, and ALUS for steel and aluminum wheels.
- 40 mm hardened-steel shaft - precision-machined for repeatable clamping under daily load.
- Multi-directional quartz sensors - 64-bit architecture detects imbalance across three axes for fast, accurate placement.
- Electro-pneumatic braking - locks the wheel at top or bottom dead center for precise weight placement.

The integrated pneumatic lift and spindle support assemblies up to 330 lb, with wheel diameters from 13 to 24 inches and widths from 4 to 20 inches.
Does it balance both car and truck wheels?
Yes. A button switches between car and truck modes, with cycle times around 7 seconds for car wheels and about 20 seconds for truck wheels, and no recalibration between types.
What power does it need?
It runs on 208 to 240V single phase, 50/60 Hz, driving a three-phase motor through a solid-state phase converter.
