Buying guide

How to choose: Wheel balancers

A wheel balancer measures the imbalance of a rim and tyre assembly and shows where to place the balance weights. This section includes two families: balancers for light vehicles, automatic with sonar, with manual locking or pneumatic clamping, and an automatic balancer for heavy goods vehicles from 10 to 24 inches, fitted with a pneumatic wheel lift. The choice depends first on the type of vehicle being serviced.

Selection criteria

  1. The type of vehicle

    Car wheel balancers are designed for car and light van wheels. Lorry and bus wheels require a truck wheel balancer, which is sturdier and equipped for handling.

  2. The clamping method

    Manual locking uses a quick-release nut tightened by the operator. Pneumatic clamping is operated by compressed air, which speeds up fitting and removal of the wheel.

  3. Entering dimensions

    Models fitted with a sonar automatically measure some of the wheel dimensions, which reduces manual input.

  4. Handling heavy wheels

    For truck wheels, a pneumatic wheel lift makes it easier to position the wheel on the balancer shaft.

Frequently asked questions

When should a wheel be balanced?

A wheel is balanced after fitting a new tyre, after a repair or when vibrations appear in the steering wheel. Poor balancing can cause vibrations and uneven wear.

Can a car wheel balancer take HGV wheels?

No, a car wheel balancer is not designed for the weight and dimensions of truck wheels. You need a dedicated machine, such as the truck wheel balancer in this section.

Is compressed air required?

This is required for pneumatic clamping models and for the pneumatic wheel lift of the HGV wheel balancer. A manual locking model only requires the power supply indicated on its product page.
