This equipment combines two essential functions for automotive wheel service. One component secures and manipulates wheels for efficient tire installation and removal, minimizing the risk of damage to both tire and rim. The other component analyzes wheel assembly balance and guides the application of corrective weights. This process ensures even weight distribution, crucial for smooth and safe vehicle operation.
Proper wheel service is essential for vehicle safety and performance. Historically, changing tires was a labor-intensive process, often resulting in damaged tires or wheels. Modern equipment dramatically simplifies this process, increasing efficiency and accuracy while minimizing potential damage. Balanced wheels reduce vibration, improve handling, extend tire life, and contribute to overall fuel efficiency. These advancements have become indispensable to the automotive industry, from small repair shops to large-scale tire retailers.
