Trucks, motorcycles, cars, buses - everyone needs wheel balancing that suffers from driving on bumpy domestic roads. Therefore, specialized machines are indispensable equipment. They return the wheels to their original shape, as close as possible to the center of mass to the geometric center. The result is a safer ride in any vehicle.
The design of all balancing machines is almost the same. The difference in price is due to the place of production and additional features. The most standard model looks like a case with a table and weights. Of the technologies - a monitor or display that displays the results of the test. However, the level of automation, the size and weight of the serviced wheels is different. Somewhere the user sets the parameters, expensive models do it on their own. There are programs that suggest the distance of the weights, sometimes they add an automatic descent and stop of the wheels. We have collected 5 best models of all price categories, both the most sophisticated and the most simple.
