Ranger by BendPak's unveils Pneumatic Wheel Lift for wheel balancers
The Ranger division of BendPak has introduced the Pneumatic Wheel Lift, No. RWL175, designed for wheel balancers. This lift aims to tackle both the technician shortage and the challenges posed by increasingly heavy wheel and tire combinations by enabling a single technician to safely and quickly raise wheel assemblies weighing up to 175 lbs for mounting on virtually any wheel balancer.
The RWL175 is a compact, air-operated wheel lift with a space-saving design that allows it to fit neatly under/in front of most balancers, regardless of brand. In order to use, the technician rolss the wheel onto the lowered platform slide, activates the air control, then raises the assembly smoothly to the proper mounting height. The sliding platform enables precise positioning so the wheel can be smoothly guided onto the balancer shaft, reducing risk to threads, cones, and expensive finishes.
Designed for professional automotive repair shops and tire service bays, the RWL175 is engineered with heavy duty steel for long-term durability. It includes cone hangers to keep cones and locking nuts organized and within reach.

“Physically wrestling large wheels onto a balancer shaft can strain technicians’ backs, shoulders and patience,” says Sean Price, BendPak director of product development. “The Ranger RWL175 is like an extra set of hands that does the heavy lifting and positioning for them. It’s another BendPak innovation designed to protect technicians and customers’ wheels while improving productivity and throughput.”
