Katool KT-T850 + KT-B700 – Tire Changer + Wheel Balancer (Combo)
Katool KT-T850 and KT-B700 Tire Changer and Wheel Balancer Combo for Professional Tire Service
The Katool KT-T850 and KT-B700 tire changer and balancer combo pairs a tilt arm tire changer with a computer wheel balancer for complete tire service operations, handling passenger vehicles and light trucks with single phase North American power and a 47 inch maximum wheel diameter capacity.
Key Features & Benefits
Large Wheel Capacity Advantage
The KT-T850 tire changer handles wheels up to 47 inches (1,200mm) in diameter and 15 inches (380mm) wide, giving your shop capacity for oversized truck, SUV, and performance wheels that exceed typical mid market equipment limits.
Many mid market tire changers top out around 26 to 30 inches, so the KT-T850's extended capacity helps you capture growing demand for larger truck and SUV wheel packages without turning work away.
By keeping large wheel work in house, this tire changer and balancer combo reduces outsourcing, limits the need for extra machines, and helps maximize shop floor efficiency.
High-Speed Precision Balancing
The KT-B700 wheel balancer delivers ±1g accuracy with a 7 second measuring time at 180rpm, giving you faster cycles than many mid market balancers that need 8 to 9 seconds for similar precision.
The KT-B700's computer controlled system is engineered to maintain both speed and accuracy in a single measurement cycle, helping reduce customer wait times at the balancer.
Faster, accurate balancing improves shop throughput so technicians can complete more tire jobs per day while still delivering smooth on road performance.
Advanced Material Construction
The KT-T850 uses carburization treated alloy steel jaws with 0.8 to 1.1mm depth treatment and full quenching to deliver longer service life than standard steel jaws on typical tire changers.
The hardened surface layer resists wear from repeated clamping and mounting while the flexible core helps prevent cracking, reducing the jaw replacement frequency that drives up operating costs.
Consistent clamping performance over thousands of tire changes helps cut maintenance spend and reduces downtime for jaw replacement.
Single-Phase Power Compatibility
Both units run on 110V/120V single phase power, with a 2 HP / 1.5kW motor on the KT-T850 and a 0.25kW motor on the KT-B700, so the combo plugs into standard North American service.
Where many higher capacity machines require three phase service, this single phase tire machine and wheel balancer combo is a practical fit for smaller shops with standard electrical panels.
Avoiding three phase upgrades helps control install costs and lets you get the combo up and running quickly on existing outlets.
Comprehensive Safety Integration
The system includes a stainless steel mounting head with plastic protector, integrated assist arms, bead blast seater, and a KT-B700 control board with moisture, dust, and anti static protection plus built in fault diagnosis and self calibration.
These integrated protections help reduce rim damage risk during service and protect sensitive electronics from common shop hazards.
By preventing common service issues, the combo helps limit rim damage liability, cuts unplanned downtime, and keeps your tire bay running efficiently.

What is the maximum wheel size the KT-T850 can handle?
The KT-T850 tire changer accommodates wheels up to 47 inches (1,200mm) in diameter with a maximum width of 15 inches (380mm). This capacity exceeds typical mid-market tire changers limited to 26-30 inches, enabling service of oversized truck and performance vehicle wheels. The outside clamp range is 14"-26" while inside clamp range is 16"-28" for comprehensive wheel size compatibility.
What components are included with the tire changer and wheel balancer combo?
The KT-T850 includes assist arms, bead blast seater, 200mm aluminum bead breaker cylinder, integrated air filter/lubricator, plastic jaw covers, and stainless steel mounting head with plastic protector for rim damage prevention. The KT-B700 includes computer control board with fault diagnosis and self-calibration system, 3mm steel body construction, and 8mm sensor support plates for precise measurements.
What are the electrical requirements for installation?
The KT-T850 tire changer requires 110V single-phase power with a 2 HP motor, while the KT-B700 wheel balancer requires 120V single-phase power with a 0.25kW motor. Both units operate on standard North American electrical service without requiring three-phase power installation, eliminating electrical upgrade costs and installation complexity for most shop installations.
What compressed air pressure is required for the tire changer?
The KT-T850 tire changer requires compressed air pressure between 0.8-1.0 MPa (116-145 psi) for proper operation of all pneumatic functions including bead seating, bead breaking, and clamping operations. This pressure requirement is typical for professional tire service equipment and should be maintained consistently by your shop's air compressor system to ensure reliable operation.
How accurate is the KT-B700 wheel balancer?
The KT-B700 provides +/- 1 g balancing accuracy with a 7 second measuring time at 180rpm, outperforming many mid market balancers that require 8 to 9 seconds for similar precision.
