- Does it need a compressor?
- Yes. It needs air at 116-145 psi (0.8-1.0 MPa), so a compressor that holds that pressure under load is required. A small portable unit will struggle.
- What size wheels can it handle?
- Rims under 30 inches, tires up to 47 inches in diameter and 15 inches wide, and wheel assemblies up to 65 kg. Inside clamping starts at a 16-inch tire diameter.
- Can it balance motorcycle or ATV wheels?
- The balancer is built around car and light-truck wheels within the 3-12 inch width range. Small motorcycle wheels usually need adapters that are not listed here.
- What power does it need?
- 110V single-phase with a 2.0 HP (1.5 kW) motor. Check that your circuit can carry the startup draw alongside other equipment.
- Is it worth it over separate machines?
- It saves floor space and one purchase, and the specs cover most passenger and light-truck work. Separate units give more room around each machine and easier service if one part fails.
- How is it installed?
- It is a 750 lb floor machine that should be anchored and leveled. Plan for a concrete pad, clearance around the turntable and a short air line.
