The Fortisky 1670-8833 pairs the FTC-1670 tilt-back tire changer with the FWB-8833 3D wheel balancer as a complete wheel service package for passenger cars and light trucks. The changer's pneumatic tilt-back tower swings clear of the wheel and locks automatically, so mounting happens with room to work instead of around a fixed post.
On the changer side: a helper arm with a three-point push system for low profile and run flat beads, a turbo bead blaster with dual-button activation, and a four-jaw self-centering turntable covering 14-26 in outer and 16-28 in inner clamping. The balancer skips manual data entry entirely; millimeter wave radar reads rim distance and width, and a mechanical keyboard with an IPS display runs the show up to 30 in rims and 165 lb.
The changer takes 110V single phase or 220V three phase plus shop air at 116-145 PSI; the balancer runs on ordinary 110V or 220V single phase. A well matched pairing for a general service shop running steady passenger and light truck volume.
Features
Pneumatic Tilt-Back Tower
The column tilts back pneumatically and locks with automatic push-pull locking, opening clearance over the wheel for mounting and demounting. No wrestling a tire around a fixed tower.
Helper Arm with Three-Point Push
The integrated helper arm holds the bead down while three press points guide the tire over the rim. Low profile and run flat sidewalls stay in the drop center instead of fighting the working head.
Turbo Bead Blaster
A direct-connect blast pipe delivers a high-volume burst of air to seat stubborn beads, with dual-button activation so it cannot fire by accident. The changer operates on 116-145 PSI shop air.
Four-Jaw Self-Centering Turntable
The linkage structure centers wheels automatically from the outside in, and the one-piece machined chuck base resists deformation under clamping loads. The working head is high-frequency quenched and hard chrome plated for wear resistance, and detaches for maintenance.
3D Millimeter Wave Radar Data Entry
The FWB-8833 measures distance to the rim and rim width automatically, with diameter from the pull-out ruler: position the wheel, lower the guard, spin. No caliper, no keyed-in numbers, no entry errors on standard wheels.
IPS Display with Mechanical Keyboard
Balance data shows in real time on an IPS screen, and Fortisky rates the mechanical keyboard 60% faster in response than touchscreens, with no lag or accidental touches from shop gloves.
Cooling, Positioning, and Calibration
Dual-channel cooling (air plus flow diversion) holds the motherboard temperature down during back-to-back jobs. One-button positioning rotates the wheel to the balance point and locks it, a laser marks the weight location, and self-calibration runs without a service call.

Call (855) 498-2147Frequently Asked Questions
What size wheels can this combo handle?
The FTC-1670 clamps 14-26 in outer and 16-28 in inner with tires up to 47 in in diameter. The FWB-8833 balances rims under 30 in and wheels up to 165 lb. Together they cover passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks.
What electrical service do I need?
The tire changer runs on 110V single phase or 220V three phase, with a 30 mA breaker, 25 A fuse, and proper grounding. The balancer runs on 110V or 220V single phase.
Do I need an air compressor?
Yes, for the tire changer: it requires 116-145 PSI of compressed air. The balancer is electric only.
What is the advantage of 3D radar over 2D measurement?
3D millimeter wave radar captures rim distance and width with no manual input, and diameter comes off the pull-out ruler. Faster setup, fewer entry errors, and higher throughput on busy days.
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 what stiff sidewalls need.
