Katool KT-T800 + KT-B700 – Tire Changer + Wheel Balancer (Combo)
Katool Tire Changer KT-T800 & Wheel Balancer KT-B700 Combo - Professional Wheel Service Package for Shops & Garages
The Katool KT-T800 & KT-B700 Combo combines a swing-arm, wheel-clamp tire changer with a computerized wheel balancer for passenger car and light-truck wheel service. Featuring a 2.0 HP motor, 41-inch wheel capacity, and ±1 g balancing accuracy with 7-second measuring cycles, this package delivers professional-grade performance on standard 110-120V single-phase power.
Key Features & Benefits
Hardened Alloy Steel Jaws with Advanced Surface Treatment
The KT-T800's wheel clamp jaws feature alloy steel with a 0.8-1.1 mm carburized surface layer and full quench treatment, combining surface hardness with core toughness. This dual-treatment process creates jaws that resist wear and deformation while gripping wheels securely across the 12-20 inch outside clamp range and 14-24 inch inside clamp range.
The carburization hardens the outer surface where contact occurs, while the quenched core maintains structural integrity under high clamping pressures. Plastic jaw covers provide additional rim protection for servicing high-value alloy wheels.
Stainless Steel Mounting Head with Rim Protection System
The mounting head is machined from stainless steel with solution treatment and interface polishing, then fitted with plastic protection covers to minimize metal-to-metal contact. The ergonomic design distributes leverage forces evenly across the bead, reducing physical effort when working with stiff sidewalls or low-profile tires.
The polished interface and protective covers enable safer handling of painted, powder-coated, or chrome-finished wheels. Stainless construction resists corrosion from tire lubricants and shop chemicals.
2.0 HP Motor with Pure Copper Winding
The KT-T800 uses a 2.0 HP (1.5 kW) motor with pure copper winding delivering consistent torque at 6.8 r/min rotation speed on standard 110V single-phase power. Copper winding provides faster heat dissipation than aluminum alternatives, allowing continuous operation without thermal derating during busy service periods.
This motor design maintains full torque output during extended operation, eliminating unexpected shutdowns during critical mounting operations.
±1 g Balancing Accuracy with 7-Second Measurement Cycles
The KT-B700 wheel balancer delivers ±1 g precision through an advanced pressure sensor system mounted on 8 mm-thick steel support plates that minimize flex and vibration. The sensor design includes moisture-proof, dust-proof, and anti-static protection. Each measurement cycle completes in 7 seconds at 180 rpm balancing speed.
The reinforced sensor platform maintains stable readings in demanding shop environments, while built-in self-calibration and fault diagnosis help identify setup issues before they compromise accuracy.
Reinforced Cabinet Construction with Strategic Thickness Distribution
The KT-B700 uses 3 mm-thick cabinet walls with 8 mm-thick plates around critical sensor mounting points. The tire changer features a closed cabinet design protecting internal pneumatic components. The balancer's 36 mm shaft undergoes quench treatment for dimensional stability and wear resistance under repeated mounting and high-speed rotation.
Reinforced construction reduces vibration transmission to sensors, maintaining measurement consistency across the full 65 kg (143 lb) wheel weight capacity. The enclosed tire changer cabinet protects air control valves and cylinders from debris.
Structured Warranty with Extended Coverage Option
The combo includes a 1-year parts warranty and 3-year structural warranty on major load-bearing elements, with free shipping on warranty parts. An optional 2-year extended warranty is available, extending parts coverage for shops planning high-volume use.
The tiered warranty structure provides long-term coverage on structural components most likely to handle stress over the equipment's service life.
