Features
Dual Assist Arms on a Swing Arm Design
Upper and lower roller arms hold the tire bead in the drop center during mounting, pushing and pulling where a bare swing arm machine leaves you to lever alone. That is the difference-maker on low-profile and run-flat sidewalls.
186-Steel Bead Breaker
The bead breaker cylinder delivers 5,512 lb of force. Stiff sidewalls break loose without drama.
Rim Protection at Every Contact Point
Plastic covers ride on the bead breaker blade, turntable claws, and working head, and the hard chrome, high-frequency quenched working head resists wear. Alloy wheels come off the machine looking the way they went on.
One-Piece Machined Chuck
The turntable chuck base is machined from a single piece for rigidity, so the four self-centering jaws stay true instead of developing slop as clamping cycles accumulate.
Five Balance Modes, Plus or Minus 1 g
The FWB-70B runs Dynamic, Static, ALU1, ALU2, and ALU3 modes, covering clip weights on steel rims through hidden adhesive weights inside alloys. Precision is plus or minus 1 g, with a high-precision mode that displays residual values under 5 g.
7 Second Cycles with Auto-Start and Brake
Lower the wheel guard and the balancer starts on its own, measures in 7 seconds, and the electronic brake holds the wheel at position for weight placement. Under 70 dB, it will not be the loudest thing in the shop either.

Installation Requirements
Space and Floor
The tire changer needs a 44 x 30 in footprint plus clearance for the swing arm; allow room around the balancer for wheel mounting and operator access. Both machines want a level floor, and combined weight is approximately 700 lb.
Electrical
Both machines are available in 110V single-phase, with separate circuits recommended. The tire changer can alternatively run 220V three-phase.
Air Supply
The tire changer requires 8-10 bar (116-145 PSI) shop air for the bead breaker and turbo blast. The balancer uses no compressed air.

Call (855) 498-2147Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles can this combo handle?
Passenger cars, SUVs, crossovers, and light trucks. The tire changer clamps 10-22 in rims externally and 12-24 in internally; the balancer handles rims up to 24 in. It is not intended for heavy-duty commercial truck tires.
Do both machines run on 110V?
Yes, both are available in 110V single-phase. The tire changer can also be run on 220V three-phase if preferred; the balancer is 110V only.
What air compressor do I need?
The tire changer requires 8-10 bar (116-145 PSI) for the bead breaker and turbo blast, which a standard shop compressor with adequate CFM covers. The balancer requires no compressed air.
Can the tire changer handle run-flats?
Yes. The dual assist arms hold the bead in the drop center, the 5,512 lb bead breaker handles stiff run-flat sidewalls, and the working head geometry is shaped for them.
What balance modes does the FWB-70B have?
Five: Dynamic (clip weights both sides), Static (single plane), ALU1 (clip weights on alloy shoulders), ALU2 (hidden adhesive inside), and ALU3 (combination). That covers steel and alloy wheels and every common weight placement.
How heavy is the combo to receive?
Approximately 700 lb combined: 485 lb for the tire changer and 212 lb for the balancer, arriving in separate crates.
