Description
Overview
The Tuxedo WB-448 is a heavy duty wheel balancer built to handle truck wheels up to 298 pounds, sized for fleet and commercial tire shops.
A back-saving pneumatic wheel lift raises the heavy assembly onto the shaft, so a single technician can mount large truck wheels without straining. The balancer self-calibrates and self-diagnoses, runs car and truck cones as standard, and offers ST and four ALU balancing methods for steel and alloy wheels alike.
