Ranger launches new wheel balancer designed to handle nearly any vehicle wheel
Ranger Division of BendPak has released their latest wheel balancer, the RB30T hybrid wheel balance engineered to take on the biggest, heaviest truck and bus wheel assemblies without sacrificing the precision needed to balance passenger vehicle wheels. This balancer gives operators the ability to move between light duty and heavy duty applications with the push of a button. The balancer's integrated pneumatic wheel lift handles the heavy lifting, says Ranger, improving ergonomics and reducing the risk of injuries.
The RB30T features both a truck and car mode, allowing users to transition without extra steps or recalibrations. It is rated for a maximum capacity of 330 lbs. and can handle tire diameters of up to 49.25" and widths up to 20". Cycle times are 7 seconds for car wheels and 20 seconds for full truck assemblies.
The brain of the RB30T is the Ranger Drive-Check system, a smart-balancing technology that simulates real-world conditions and discerns subtle vibrations before they show up on the road. This high-sensitivity detection is backed by a 64-bit microprocessor and a full suit of quartz piezoelectric sensors that measure longitudinal, transverse, and shear axes. Once imbalance is detected, the RB30T automatically recommends the most efficient correction.
A rugged ribbed nylon-fiber drive belt and counter-weighted flywheel system deliver smooth operation under extreme loads, while the three-phase motor and solid-state phase converter ensure consistent torque with less maintenance.
It comes equipped with a full multi-piece commercial mounting kit, including all necessary cones and adapters to start balancing immediately. It is available as a stand-alone equipment purchase or with the new Ranger Select package that includes professional installation and training.
A word from BendPak
"The new RB30T wheel balancer can do it all," says Sean Price, director of product development. "Its versatility makes the RB30T a great choice not just for heavy duty fleets and repair garages, but also for high-volume tire shops and mixed fleets."
