Truck Wheel Balancer CB1200
The CB1200 balances truck and bus wheels up to 150 kg without the fitter lifting them onto the shaft, because a pneumatic built-in lift raises the wheel to the spindle. Rim diameter range is 13 to 24 inches with rim widths from 5.5 to 20 inches, and maximum wheel width is 1200 mm, so it covers commercial wheels as well...
What This Machine Does
The CB1200 balances truck and bus wheels up to 150 kg without the fitter lifting them onto the shaft, because a pneumatic built-in lift raises the wheel to the spindle. Rim diameter range is 13 to 24 inches with rim widths from 5.5 to 20 inches, and maximum wheel width is 1200 mm, so it covers commercial wheels as well as car wheels on the same machine. A measuring run takes 8 seconds, which is what makes it usable in a bay that has to turn wheels around between other jobs. The microprocessor is built on integrated circuits and drives the measurement and the imbalance readout, so the operator reads weight and position rather than interpreting a needle. A protection cover is supplied and the lifting and mount-demount sequence is designed so the wheel is controlled at every step. Machine weight is approximately 250 kg, power supply is 400 V or 220 V, and air pressure is 6 to 8 bar. Standard accessories include an international universal standard flange with a tapering range of 40 to 285 mm, wheel width calipers, lock nut and ballast weight pliers.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Pneumatic built-in lift raises wheels up to 150 kg onto the shaft instead of the fitter lifting them
- 8 second testing time keeps commercial wheel balancing inside a normal bay turnaround
- Rim range of 13 to 24 inches and 5.5 to 20 inch widths covers truck bus and car wheels on one machine
- Maximum wheel width of 1200 mm takes wide commercial and twin-fit wheels
- Microprocessor readout gives weight value and position directly with no gauge interpretation
- Protection cover supplied as standard so the balancing run is enclosed
- Universal standard flange with 40 to 285 mm tapering range fits a wide spread of hub bores
Where Truck Wheel Balancer CB1200 Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- A 150 kg truck wheel cannot be lifted onto a balancer shaft by hand without injury risk
- Car balancers do not take 1200 mm wide or 24 inch commercial rims
- Slow measuring cycles make balancing the bottleneck in a commercial tyre bay
- Unbalanced heavy wheels cause steering vibration and uneven tyre wear across the fleet
- Flanges that do not fit the hub bore make centring inaccurate so the balance result is wrong
- Sending truck wheels out to be balanced means the vehicle waits
Who It Is For
- Truck and bus tyre service workshops
- Fleet and haulage depot maintenance departments
- Mixed car and commercial vehicle tyre bays
- Agricultural and plant service workshops running large wheels
- Garage equipment distributors supplying heavy-duty tyre bay equipment
Application Scenarios
- Balancing truck and bus wheels in a commercial vehicle tyre bay
- Fleet depots balancing their own drive and steer wheels after tyre changes
- Diagnosing steering vibration complaints on heavy vehicles
- Balancing both car and commercial wheels in a mixed workshop without a second machine
- Balancing wide wheels up to 1200 mm that will not fit a car balancer
- Mobile and roadside tyre service depots handling heavy wheel work

How It Is Built and What Can Be Changed
Operations Performed
- Wheel balancing
- Imbalance measurement
- Balance weight fitting
Quality Control
- Balancing accuracy verified against a calibrated reference wheel before shipment
- Measuring cycle timed to confirm the 8 second testing time
- Pneumatic lift tested under a full 150 kg wheel load
- Flange and taper set checked across the 40 to 285 mm range
- Machine run through repeated balance cycles and the protection cover interlock checked before packing
Customisation Options
- Power supply configured at 400 V or 220 V for your market
- Flange cone and adaptor set specified for the hub bores you work on
- Additional accessories quoted alongside the standard calipers lock nut and weight pliers
- Branding and colour applied for distributor supply
- Shipping arranged by sea air or train from Tianjin Dalian Qingdao Shanghai or Ningbo
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Car wheel balancer | A car balancer will not take a 150 kg wheel or a 1200 mm width, and has no lift, so heavy wheels have to go elsewhere |
|---|---|
| Static bubble balancing | A bubble balancer shows static imbalance only and cannot resolve dynamic imbalance across the wheel width, which is what causes steering vibration on wide commercial wheels |
| A truck balancer without a built-in lift | Without the pneumatic lift, a 150 kg wheel has to be manhandled onto the shaft, which slows the bay and is a safety problem |
| Sending wheels out for balancing | Subcontracting means the vehicle is off the road until the wheel comes back; an 8 second cycle on site turns it around in the same bay visit |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Connect air at 6 to 8 bar and confirm the pneumatic lift raises and lowers freely
Step 2
Select the flange and taper for the wheel hub bore within the 40 to 285 mm range
Step 3
Roll the wheel onto the lift and raise it to the shaft, then fit the flange and lock nut
Step 4
Measure the rim width with the supplied calipers and enter the rim diameter width and offset
Step 5
Close the protection cover and start the run, which takes 8 seconds
Step 6
Fit the balance weights at the positions and values shown using the ballast weight pliers
Step 7
Run the wheel a second time to confirm the residual imbalance before removing it
