It features a robust 1.5 HP Direct Drive™ motor, designed to provide longevity without the maintenance associated with belts or pulleys. This balancer accommodates a broad range of wheel sizes, handling rim diameters from 8 to 30 inches and rim widths from 2 to 20 inches. It supports a maximum tire diameter of 44 inches and a maximum tire weight of 160 lbs. The unit operates on 220V, available in both 1-phase and 3-phase electrical configurations, and utilizes a 40mm shaft diameter. With a shipping weight of 616 lbs and a footprint of 57 inches wide by 50 inches deep, it offers a stable and compact presence in any workshop. The LED display interface provides clear information, and automatic offset and diameter measurements streamline the balancing process.

Key Features

The Ammco-Coats 1250-3D Wheel Balancer incorporates advanced features for efficient and accurate wheel balancing. It offers eight distinct balancing modes, including dynamic balancing with simultaneous static data, four standard alloy options with behind-the-spoke weight placement, RV mode, and match balance. Laser Guided Operation™ precisely indicates Tape-A-Weight® placement and behind-the-spoke locations, eliminating guesswork and enhancing accuracy. The automatic start hood initiates the balancing cycle, which averages five seconds, upon closure, boosting workflow efficiency. An integrated VFD display guides the operator through the balancing process step-by-step, ensuring proper technique. The system also provides simultaneous display of static and dynamic imbalance data, allowing for comprehensive corrections. Additionally, a logically organized weight storage system keeps frequently used weights readily accessible.
