Katool KT-B795L – Truck Wheel Balancer (Heavy-Duty)
Katool KT-B795L - Heavy Duty Truck Wheel Balancer for Commercial Fleets & Tire Shops
The Katool KT-B795L delivers 150 kg (331 lb) wheel capacity with 8-second measurement cycles in a compact 529 lb chassis. This commercial wheel balancer handles truck, bus, and commercial vehicle wheels up to 51 inches in diameter while maintaining car and light-truck capability through included wheel balancer cones and adapter sets.
Key Features & Benefits
8-Second Measurement Cycle for Maximum Throughput
The KT-B795L completes wheel measurements in 8 seconds per spin, regardless of wheel size within its operating range. Traditional heavy-duty balancers often require 15-20 seconds—this faster cycle enables tire shops and fleet operations to service more vehicles per shift without sacrificing measurement accuracy.
Laser-Guided Weight Placement Accuracy
Position lasers provide exact weight placement location on the wheel rim, a feature typically found on balancers priced at $4,000+. The laser guidance projects the precise mounting point for adhesive or clip-on weights, eliminating guesswork and reducing "chasing weight" re-spins that waste time and consumables.
Heavy-Duty Capacity in a Compact Chassis
Handles wheels up to 150 kg (331 lb) and 51 inches in diameter with a footprint of only 98-118 inches and machine weight of approximately 529 lb. Significantly lighter than comparable heavy-duty balancers that often exceed 700-900 lb. Rim diameter range: 13-24 inches; width range: 1.5-20 inches.
Single-Phase 220V Power for Simplified Installation
Operates on 220V single-phase, 60 Hz power with a 0.55 kW motor. No three-phase electrical service required. Works with existing shop electrical infrastructure without costly panel upgrades or dedicated three-phase circuits.
Complete Adapter Kit for Multi-Vehicle Service
Ships with cone sets for car and light-truck wheels plus cone and spacer sets for truck, bus, and implement tires, along with a heavy-duty steel wing nut and protective safety hood. Service the full spectrum of passenger cars through heavy commercial vehicles immediately after installation—no additional adapter purchases required.
Low-Noise Operation for Shop Comfort
Running noise levels under 65 dB, quieter than typical conversation. Reduces hearing fatigue during long shifts and enables better communication between technicians during operation.
