AWB980 Wheel Balancing
Heavy wheel balancer with LCD and optional lift
Product Overview
AWB980 is an automatic wheel balancer designed for bigger and heavier tyres, an area where many heavy duty balancers lose accuracy. A high strength case keeps measuring precision stable under load, rim diameter and distance are measured automatically, and an optional tyre lift loads the wheel onto the shaft without manual lifting.
Key Benefits
What This Machine Changes in the Bay
- Built for bigger and heavier tyres, and corrects the accuracy problem common to heavy duty balancers
- High strength case keeps measuring precision stable
- Automatic measurement of rim diameter and distance removes manual data entry
- Hidden and decomposed weight functions keep weights out of sight on alloy wheels
- Optional tyre lift loads and unloads heavy wheels without manual handling
Application Scenarios
- Heavy SUV, van and light truck wheel balancing

Does it measure the rim automatically?
Rim diameter and distance are measured automatically, so they do not have to be entered by hand.
What does the hidden weight function do?
It places the correction weight behind the spokes so it is not visible on the face of an alloy wheel.
How is calibration handled?
The machine self calibrates. The procedure is covered in the manual supplied with the machine.
What packing and shipping applies?
The balancer is crated for container loading. Crate dimensions and gross weight are confirmed with the quotation.

Choosing a Wheel Balancer LED or LCD and What Else Matters
Display type is the visible difference, but automatic rim measurement, shaft diameter and weight placement modes do more for the bay's throughput.
