Katool KT-T810 + KT-B700 – Tire Changer + Wheel Balancer (Combo)
Katool KT-T810 & KT-B700 Tire Changer and Balancer Combo for Sale
The Katool KT-T810 & KT-B700 tire machine and balancer combo pairs a 2.0 HP swing-arm tire changer with an automatic wheel balancer for passenger car, SUV, and light-truck service. This tire changer combo handles wheels up to 41 inches in diameter with 12-22 inch clamping range, while the KT-B700 delivers ±1 g accuracy in 7 seconds. Both units run on 120V single-phase power for straightforward installation in pro shops and serious home garages.
Key Features & Benefits
Carburized Alloy Steel Jaw System
The KT-T810's alloy steel jaws feature 0.8-1.1 mm carburization depth with full quenching treatment, creating hardened surfaces that resist wear from repeated clamping. Each jaw includes protective covers to prevent rim damage, while the stainless mounting head comes with a plastic protective sleeve. Traditional tire changers use basic steel jaws without advanced heat treatment, leading to premature wear and increased risk of rim scratching during high-volume operation. This carburization process enables safer wheel service for modern alloy rims by combining structural strength with surface protection, maintaining consistent clamping force over thousands of tire changes.
Pure Copper Motor Winding
Both the KT-T810 tire changer and KT-B700 wheel balancer use motors with pure copper winding construction, delivering faster heat dissipation and lower defect rates compared to aluminum-wound alternatives. The tire changer's 2.0 HP / 1.5 kW motor operates at 6.8 RPM, while the balancer's 0.25 kW motor achieves 180 RPM. Standard imported tire service equipment often uses aluminum windings to reduce costs, resulting in overheating during continuous operation and shorter motor lifespan. This tire changing machine combo improves operational uptime by preventing premature motor failure, with superior heat dissipation maintaining consistent performance during high-volume seasonal tire changeover periods.
Structural Stability Design
The KT-B700 wheel balancer features a 3 mm-thick high-strength steel cabinet with fully welded construction, plus pressure sensor support built from 8 mm-thick bottom and side plates. The 36 mm diameter shaft uses quenched thread treatment for strength and longevity. Many competing balancers in this price range rely on thinner gauge steel that introduces flex and vibration during high-speed spin cycles. This tire changer wheel balancer combo enables consistent balancing precision by minimizing structural flex, while the moisture-proof, dust-proof, anti-static electronic control board protects measurement accuracy in typical shop environments.
Self-Calibration and Fault Diagnosis
The KT-B700 includes built-in fault diagnosis and self-calibration with double-side calibration programming that requires no stored parameters. This automated system continuously monitors sensor performance and calibrates measurement accuracy without operator intervention, maintaining the published ±1 g accuracy throughout the machine's service life. Traditional wheel balancers require periodic manual calibration using calibration weights and multi-step procedures, creating downtime and requiring technician training. This best tire changer and balancer combo reduces maintenance complexity and eliminates guesswork from accuracy verification, alerting operators when the system detects sensor drift.
Pneumatic System Protection
The KT-T810 tire changer includes a high-quality air filter and lubricator unit designed to protect pneumatic components from moisture, particulate contamination, and inadequate lubrication. Operating at 0.8-1.0 MPa (116-145 psi), the pneumatic system powers clamping, bead breaking, and bead seating functions. Compressed air in automotive shops often contains water vapor, oil carryover, and rust particles that damage cylinder seals, valves, and actuators without proper filtration. This tire machine and balancer combo for sale extends pneumatic system reliability by keeping internal components clean and properly lubricated, maintaining full bead-breaker force throughout the machine's service life.
Closed Body Design
The KT-T810 features a closed body cabinet that shields internal mechanical and electrical components from shop environment exposure, protecting drive mechanisms, electrical connections, and pneumatic routing from tire debris, water splash, and accidental impact. Open-frame tire changers expose critical components to shop floor contaminants, increasing wear on moving parts and creating electrical short risks when moisture contacts wiring. This tire changer balancer combo improves machine longevity and reduces contamination-related failures by creating a protective barrier around vulnerable systems while improving shop appearance by containing mechanical components within a finished cabinet structure.
