Description

The RFE23 Road Force® Elite Wheel Balancer provides complete wheel diagnostics faster than a traditional balancer. Includes SpeedClamp™ System, HammerHead® TDC Laser System, and Ink Jet Printer with storage.

Features

  • Road Force® roller mimics how a wheel performs under the load of a vehicle to find and solve hidden causes of vibration and vehicle pull.
  • Inner and outer camera assemblies use structured light to scan the wheel during spin. There are no moving parts in camera/laser assemblies for ultimate reliability.
  • ForceMatching® locates the stiffest area of a tire and the lowest spot on a rim to be marked and match-mounted to cancel radial-force vibration. Now up to 50% faster than the previous version.
  • StraightTrak® measures pull forces in tires and recommends wheel placement to cancel vehicle drift. Now measures individual tire pulls!
  • Enhanced SmartWeight® utilizes a scanned rim profile to give a more accurate balance, a more single weight solution and increased weight savings.
  • eCal™ auto-calibration provides true "self-calibration" without any input from the operator.
  • CenteringCheck® verifies proper wheel centering to eliminate setup errors and ensure an accurate balance.
  • BullsEye® 10-piece collet set with convenient storage comes standard.
  • Laser-guided weight placement speeds service with a standard bottom laser and an optional HammerHead TDC laser.
  • HunterNet® allows you to view balancer usage online. See trends on Road Force values, wheel types, weight usage, service and savings.
  • Handles assembles up to 175 lbs., 40 in. tire/ 30 in. rim
