Commercial tire shops and fleet bays balancing larger car and SUV wheels can use the Daytona BL-956 heavy duty wheel balancer for assemblies up to 44 inches and 165 lb. It accepts rims to 35 inches and runs a balancing cycle in 5 to 7 seconds.
For smaller wheels measured entirely by hand, the BL-950 is another choice in our wheel balancer selection.
Features
The wand enters distance and diameter
Pull the retractable acquisition wand to the rim and those two measurements enter automatically. Rim width still comes from its marking or a gauge and is keyed in by hand.
Laser guidance at the weight point
The laser and internal light indicate the unbalance location. With LAS enabled in an ALU Smart program, the laser marks the 6 o'clock placement for the weight.
Choose the alloy balancing planes
ALS1 allows the outside weight plane to move from its fixed position; ALS2 allows both planes to be selected. Those two ALU Smart choices help with alloy rim sections that do not suit fixed weight positions.
Hold the wheel with a foot pedal
The foot pedal brake secures the wheel at the indicated correction position while a weight is placed. A Speed-Nut quick mount holds the wheel on the spindle during the balancing routine.
Hide a weight or match the tire
The hidden weight program splits one outside correction behind spokes. Once static imbalance reaches 12 g, valve marks guide tire rotation through the tire matching program to reduce the correction weight.
Fourteen pockets for weights and tools
The wheel weight shelf has 14 articulated pockets, each over 1.5 inches deep. Those pockets provide ample storage for wheel weights and tooling.
Best For
Commercial tire shops
A commercial tire shop moving through car and SUV wheels can pair the short spin cycle with wand entry and laser guidance at the correction point.
Dealership service centers
A dealership balancing car and SUV alloy wheels can select the wheel type, place ALU Smart planes for the rim, and locate corrections with the laser.
Fleet maintenance facilities
For fleet SUV wheel work, the machine's size limit guides fit, while standby retains wheel data during pauses and the weight shelf keeps correction weights close.

Call (855) 498-2147Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Daytona BL-956 balance truck wheels?
No. Its SUV mode is for off-road wheels whose tires are tall relative to their rims. Truck wheels are outside that setting because their rims differ significantly.
What must a motorcycle wheel use on the Daytona BL-956?
It mounts on a special motorcycle flange and needs an extension for the distance sensor; neither is among the included accessories. The motorcycle wheel type also needs its separate calibration before the machine will run it.
What if the acquisition wand has a fault on the Daytona BL-956?
The acquisition system can be switched off temporarily if it reports a startup fault while the wand is at rest. The operator then enters wheel dimensions by hand to continue balancing. Switching the balancer off and on brings the fault display back, so the bypass is temporary.
Can settings change after a spin on the Daytona BL-956?
Yes. Program type, wheel type, dimensions, dynamic or static display, and display resolution can be changed after a spin. The machine recalculates and shows revised imbalance values, so a technician can correct an entered dimension without repeating the measurement spin.
Can the Daytona BL-956 display corrections in ounces?
Yes. Choose ounces in SERVICE mode with the P4 key. The default X5 view advances by 0.25 oz; switch to X1 for 0.1 oz increments when a finer reading is needed. In grams, those modes advance by 5 g and 1 g, respectively.
What happens when the Daytona BL-956 sits idle?
After 5 minutes of inactivity, it enters standby while retaining the acquired data and settings. Pressing any key other than the F key wakes the controls, so the next wheel can be handled without resetting the prior selections.
