This Fortisky combo pairs the FTC-1670 tilt-back tire changer with the FWB-70B wheel balancer: one order that covers mounting, dismounting, and balancing for passenger car and light truck wheels. The changer clamps 14-26 in rims externally and 16-28 in internally with tires up to 47 in in diameter, backed by 5,510 lb of bead breaker force.
The tilt-back tower swings back pneumatically with automatic locking, clearing the wheel completely for loading instead of making you thread it past a fixed column. A helper arm with three-point pressing holds low-profile and run-flat beads in the drop center, and a double-button bead blast seats stubborn beads. On the balancing side, the FWB-70B self-calibrates, reads to plus or minus 1 g, starts automatically when the guard drops, and holds the wheel with an electronic brake for weight placement.
Both machines run on 110V single-phase (the changer can also take 220V three-phase), and the changer needs 116-145 PSI shop air. If you are choosing between this and the swing arm FTC-1660 combo, the tilt-back tower and larger rim capacity are what you are paying for.
Features
Pneumatic Tilt-Back Tower
The tower tilts back on air with automatic push-pull locking, clearing the wheel entirely during loading and unloading. Compared with swinging an arm around a fixed column, it is a faster, less fiddly cycle on every wheel.
Helper Arm with Three-Point Pressing
The integrated helper arm holds the bead in the drop center during mounting, and the three-point press distributes force around the tire. That is what makes low-profile and run-flat sidewalls manageable instead of miserable.
Bead Blast with Double-Button Safety
The turbo blast system seats stubborn beads fast, and its double-button design requires a deliberate two-hand action, preventing accidental discharge.
Four-Jaw Self-Centering Turntable
Synchronized four-jaw linkage clamps from the outside in and centers the wheel automatically. The one-piece machined chuck base resists deformation over years of clamping cycles.
Self-Calibrating Balancer, Plus or Minus 1 g
The FWB-70B holds plus or minus 1 g precision and lets you recalibrate it yourself to keep readings honest. Multiple balance modes cover different rim types, spanning 10-24 in rims and wheels up to 143 lb.
Electronic Brake and Guard Auto-Start
Lower the guard and the balancer starts on its own; the electronic brake then locks the wheel at position for weight placement. Fewer button presses per wheel, and no hand-stopping a spinning assembly.

Installation Requirements
Electrical

Air Supply
The tire changer needs 116-145 PSI (8-10 bar) compressed air for the bead breaker and blast system; a high-pressure water and oil filter is included. The balancer needs no air.
Space
Install both machines on a flat, level floor in a well-lit area, with clear space around them kept free of oil, grease, debris, and bystanders.

Call (855) 498-2147Frequently Asked Questions
What size wheels can this combo handle?
The tire changer clamps 14-26 in rims externally and 16-28 in internally, with tires up to 47 in in diameter. The balancer handles 10-24 in rims and wheels up to 143 lb. Together that covers passenger cars and light trucks.
What electrical service do I need?
Both machines run on 110V single-phase, so a standard shop can power the pair. The tire changer also supports 220V three-phase if you prefer, and it requires proper grounding with circuit protection (30 mA breaker, 25 A fuse).
Do I need an air compressor?
Yes, for the tire changer: it requires a 116-145 PSI compressed air supply for the bead breaker, tilt-back tower, and bead blast. The balancer is electric only.
Can it handle low-profile and run-flat tires?
Yes. The helper arm and three-point pressing system hold the bead in the drop center during mounting, which is exactly what stiff low-profile and run-flat sidewalls need.
Will it damage alloy wheels?
All tire-contacting tools carry protective covers and pads, and the balancer's cone adapters are designed for alloy rims. Rim protection is built into both machines rather than sold as an add-on.
