Katool KT-WL70 – Wheel Straightener (Hydraulic, 30 in)
Katool KT-WL70 - Professional 30" Rim Straightening Machine with Integrated Lathe
The Katool KT-WL70 is a professional rim straightening machine for complete wheel restoration in automotive workshops and wheel repair facilities. This wheel straightening machine delivers hydraulic rim repair with integrated lathe functionality, featuring 15 MPa working pressure, 15kW motor power, and capacity for wheels up to 30 inches diameter. Handles alloy and steel wheel rim straightening with precision operation under 79dB noise levels.
Rim Straightening Machine Features & Benefits
Superior Wheel Size Versatility
Handles wheels up to 30-inch maximum diameter with a 21.6-inch width capacity, exceeding most competitor wheel straightening equipment limited to 24-26 inches. This accommodates luxury vehicles, light trucks, and specialty aftermarket wheels that smaller rim repair machines cannot handle, enabling shops to service a complete range of passenger and light-truck wheels in-house.
Industrial-Grade Power Performance
The 15kW motor delivers consistent high-force straightening capability with 15 MPa working pressure (150 bar), providing significantly more power than typical competitor rim straightening equipment. The hydraulic system maintains pressure control throughout the straightening process for consistent results even on severely damaged wheels and aluminum alloy wheels that require sustained pressure.
Integrated Dual-Function Alloy Rim Straightening
Combines hydraulic straightening and precision lathe finishing in a single 573-pound unit, eliminating the need for separate wheel repair equipment. This alloy rim straightening machine with integrated lathe enables technicians to perform hydraulic straightening and lathe-based repairs without moving wheels between different stations, reducing shop floor space requirements.
Professional Noise Control
Operates at documented noise levels under 79dB. The enclosed cabinet design and hydraulic system engineering minimize operational noise while maintaining full straightening capability. Enables operation in noise-sensitive commercial environments and supports extended operating hours.
Dual Voltage Flexibility
Accommodates both 220V single-phase and 380V three-phase power supply configurations. Eliminates electrical upgrade requirements for many facilities during installation, enabling installation in shops with either power configuration without extensive electrical work.
Heavy-Duty Construction Stability
The 573-pound operational weight provides superior vibration dampening and operational stability during high-pressure wheel straightening operations. Heavy-duty construction maintains precision during maximum pressure operations and reduces operator fatigue from machine vibration.
