Truck wheel balancers
Truck wheel balancers
A truck wheel and tyre can weigh more than the person balancing it. This family mounts, lifts and balances heavy wheels — the XP-512D and XP-513D headline it, with the XP-512, XP-598 and the car-and-truck XP-562 behind them.

Balancing at truck weight
Everything about a truck balancer scales with the wheel: the shaft and flange take the weight, the spin cycle is powered and braked for the inertia involved, and on the XP-512 and XP-598 a built-in pneumatic lift brings the wheel to the shaft instead of a technician's back doing it. The XP-512D and XP-513D balance wheels to 1,200 mm diameter on 10–28 inch rims at ±10 g precision — the right tolerance language for truck wheels — on a 10-second cycle at 180 rpm.
Truck balancing is also a comeback business: an unbalanced steer wheel is felt through the driver's whole shift and wears the tyre it was meant to protect. The XP-562 closes the family as a dual-mode machine with car and truck programmes, for fleets whose balancer must cover both. For the heavy-duty pair, work from their own page — full tables, and the mounting discussion that decides repeatability.

Checks before a truck-balancer quote
- The heaviest wheel-and-tyre assembly in your fleet work, weighed or from the tyre data.
- Rim diameter range, including any bus or super-single fitments.
- Mounting type: centre-hole sizes and hub-piloted arrangements you must cone or flange.
- Air supply for the pneumatic lift on the models that carry one, and power for the drive.
- Floor space for the machine plus the wheel staging beside it.
Questions buyers ask about truck wheel balancers
Why does the lift matter so much?
Because a heavy assembly does not get lifted by hand twice per wheel, all day, without injuries and dropped wheels. A balancer with a lift gets used on every wheel; one without gets skipped on the heavy ones.
Can a truck balancer balance car wheels too?
The XP-562 is built for exactly that, with a car mode at ±1 g. The headline pair are truck tools; a mixed fleet bay normally runs the car balancer family beside them unless the 562's dual mode fits the volumes.
What decides balance repeatability on truck wheels?
Mounting: the wheel must sit on the shaft exactly as it sits on the hub. The cone and flange set for your rim types is a quote-stage question, not an afterthought.
