This equipment combines two essential functions for automotive wheel service. One component mounts and demounts tires from wheel rims, while the other spins the assembled wheel and tire to identify imbalances. Corrective weights are then attached to the rim to ensure smooth rotation. This integrated approach streamlines the process, allowing technicians to perform both tasks efficiently.
Proper wheel and tire balance is critical for vehicle safety and performance. Imbalances can cause vibrations, premature tire wear, and stress on suspension components. Historically, these tasks were performed with separate, less sophisticated machines. The combined unit significantly improves efficiency and accuracy, contributing to improved vehicle handling, passenger comfort, and extended tire lifespan.
