Fortisky FWB-8823 Wheel Balancer: 2D Auto-Entry with Laser Positioning
Also searched as: FWB8823 / FWB 8823 / Fortisky wheel balancer / car wheel balancer / tire balancer
The Fortisky FWB-8823 is a 2D fully automatic wheel balancer with self-calibration and laser-guided weight positioning. Handles rims up to 30" and 165 lbs with ±1g precision. Automatic data entry, multiple ALU balance modes for alloy wheels, and smart balance-point positioning that auto-rotates to the weight location.
Who It's For
Automotive Service Shops
2D automatic data entry speeds up high-volume balancing. Lower the wheel guard and the machine measures distance, width, and diameter automatically. Laser positioning and LED fill light let you place weights fast in any lighting.
Tire Dealers
Multiple ALU modes handle steel rims, standard alloy wheels, and special-shape aluminum rims. ALU-S mode hides weights behind spokes on custom wheels. ±1g precision eliminates comebacks.
Home and Small Garages
110V single-phase runs on standard shop power. 251 lb unit weight fits smaller spaces. Self-calibration keeps the machine accurate without dealer service calls. Also balances motorcycle and racing tires.
Features
2D Automatic Data Entry
Pull the measuring ruler to the rim and lower the wheel guard. The linear grating measurement scale automatically inputs distance, width, and rim diameter. No manual entry needed for standard wheels.
Laser-Guided Weight Positioning
Visual laser technology pinpoints exactly where to place the next weight. Built-in LED fill light illuminates the work area in low-light conditions. No guessing, no repositioning.
Smart Balance-Point Positioning
One button auto-rotates the wheel to the balance point and locks in place. No manually spinning the tire to find 12 o'clock. Faster cycle times, less fatigue.
Multiple ALU Balance Modes
STD: Steel rims with clip weights. ALU 1: Inside and outside adhesive. ALU 2: Inside adhesive, hidden placement. ALU-S: Special-shape rims with spoke hiding (3-12 spokes). STA: Static balance for motorcycle and narrow tires.
Self-Calibration System
Built-in self-calibration procedure uses a 100g test weight. Run it during initial installation or anytime measurement accuracy is in question. Calibration data saves to memory and persists through power cycles.
Wheel Guard with Auto-Start
Included wheel guard protects operator during spin cycle. Lowering the guard automatically starts the spindle. Safety interlock prevents operation with guard open.

Installation Requirements
Space and Floor
Install on solid concrete floor or similar surface. Unsolid ground causes measurement error. Leave at least 20" (500mm) clearance around the machine for operation.
Electrical
Power: 110V / 60Hz / 1-Phase. Install with automatic air switch and grounded plug. Yellow-green wire is ground only.
Shipping
Free freight shipping to commercial addresses or nearest carrier terminal in the lower 48 states. Residential delivery, liftgate, and farmland/construction site delivery available for additional fee. Forklift or similar required for unloading. Inspect for damage at delivery and note on Bill of Lading. Call +1 (855) 498-2147 with questions.

FAQs
What size wheels can the FWB-8823 handle?
Rims up to 30", wheel diameter up to 39", width 1.5" to 15", and weight up to 165 lbs. Covers passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs.
How accurate is it?
±1g balancing precision. The FINE mode displays actual imbalance values in 1g increments for maximum accuracy.
What balance modes does it have?
STD (steel rims), STA (static/motorcycle), ALU 1 (inside/outside adhesive), ALU 2 (hidden inside adhesive), and ALU-S (special-shape rims with spoke hiding for 3-12 spokes).
How does the automatic data entry work?
Pull the measuring ruler to the rim edge. The linear grating scale automatically inputs distance to rim and rim diameter. Width calculates automatically when you lower the wheel guard.
What does the laser do?
Visual laser technology shows exactly where to place the balance weight. Combined with the built-in LED fill light, you can see the placement location clearly in any lighting condition.
How do I calibrate the machine?
Built-in self-calibration uses a 100g test weight on a medium tire (13"-15"). Run the calibration procedure during initial setup or if measurement accuracy is questioned. Calibration data saves to memory.
Can it balance motorcycle tires?
Yes. Use STA (static) mode for motorcycle tires and other narrow single-plane applications.
What electrical service do I need?
110V / 60Hz / 1-Phase. Standard shop outlet with grounded plug. 250W motor draw.
