This Fortisky combo pairs the FTC-T2 leverless tire changer with the FWB-8823 wheel balancer, and the theme across both machines is that nothing metal touches the wheel and almost nothing gets entered by hand. The changer's hook head and pressing wheel move together on a central column under hydraulic control, so no pry bar ever contacts the rim.
Hydraulics hold steady pressure without the rebound of pneumatic designs, and the bead breaker delivers 6,614 lb at 10 bar under hand control. The balancer reads rim parameters automatically with a linear grating scale, then a laser marks the weight location and the wheel auto-rotates to the balance point and locks.
Rim coverage is 10-28 in on the changer and up to 30 in on the balancer. For a shop handling alloy, chrome, and custom wheels where a scratch is a payout, this is the tire changer setup built for that risk profile.
Features
Leverless Center Post Design
The hook head and pressing wheel travel synchronously on the integrated central column, mounting and demounting without a pry bar touching the rim. A left helper arm and tire lifter round out the wheel handling.
Hydraulic Instead of Pneumatic Control
The hydraulic system holds position and pressure without rebound, and a hand control valve places the hook head precisely. It also shuts off automatically when operation stops and restarts on resume.
6,614 lb Bead Breaker
At 10 bar the bead breaker develops 6,614 lb of force under precise hand control, which handles run-flat and low-profile sidewalls without chewing the rim edge.
2D Automatic Data Entry
The FWB-8823 measures rim parameters itself using a linear grating scale; lowering the guard starts the cycle. No manual inputs on standard wheels.
Laser-Guided Weight Placement
A laser marks the exact weight location, and smart balance-point positioning rotates the wheel there and locks it at one button press. A built-in LED fill light keeps the inner barrel visible in a dim bay.
Self-Calibrating to ±1 Gram
The balancer self-calibrates to hold ±1g precision and offers multiple balance modes for different rim types, on wheels up to 165 lb.

The tire changer needs 220V/60Hz single-phase service with a 25A fuse and proper grounding; the balancer runs on 110V single-phase.
Compressed Air
The changer operates on 116-145 PSI shop air. Keep the oil mist device topped up with ISO VG32 oil as part of routine air-system maintenance.
Placement
Both machines go on a flat, level floor in a well-lit area, clear of oil, grease, and foot traffic, and never in an area with explosive gases.

Call (855) 498-2147Frequently Asked Questions
What wheel sizes does this combo cover?
The changer handles 10-28 in rims and tires to 47 in diameter; the balancer takes up to 30 in rims up to 165 lb. Together that spans passenger cars and light trucks.
How does the leverless design protect wheels?
No pry bar contacts the rim. The hook head and pressing wheel move together under hydraulic control that holds steady pressure without the rebound that scratches finishes.
What does the laser on the balancer do?
It pinpoints where the weight goes. Combined with auto-rotation to the balance point and one-button locking, weight placement stops being a hunt.
What electrical service do I need?
220V single-phase for the tire changer and 110V for the balancer, both properly grounded. The changer circuit needs a 25A fuse.
Do I need an air compressor?
Yes, for the changer: a 116-145 PSI supply. The balancer is electric only.
