The 1885 and 885 balancers have “small footprint” so it will fit almost anywhere. They are designed for light to medium duty environments, but offer features you’ll find on much larger, more elaborate machines.

Auto Start Hood

Lowering the protective hood starts the balancing process and offers additional protection.
Soft Touch Keys

The soft touch keys allow for simple navigation and tactile control while wearing gloves. The LCD display on the 1185 alerts operator to the imbalance location and identifies the optimal tape on or clip weight location.
Weight Placement Guidance

The 1185 uses an easily visible laser line that helps operators place weights right where they are needed. The 885 uses audible beeps to indicate exact placement of Tape-A-Weights and take the guesswork out of those tricky behind-the-spoke balances
