The Atlas® WBAWL Air-Operated Wheel Lift is a compact pneumatic lifting solution designed to help technicians safely position heavy tire and wheel assemblies onto compatible wheel balancers. With a 150 lb. lifting capacity, the WBAWL reduces the need to manually lift and hold heavy wheels while aligning them with the balancer shaft, making it a valuable addition to professional tire shops, automotive repair facilities, and dealership service departments.
Its compact design allows the wheel lift to fit beneath most wheel balancers. The technician simply rolls the tire and wheel assembly onto the lowered platform, operates the conveniently located toggle switch, and raises the wheel to the required mounting height. The sliding platform then allows the wheel to be moved toward the balancer shaft for installation of the appropriate mounting cone, adapter, and locking nut.
150 lb. Pneumatic Wheel Lift
- 150 lb. Capacity: Designed to raise and support tire and wheel combinations weighing up to 150 pounds.
- Air-Operated Design: Pneumatic operation raises heavy wheel assemblies to the appropriate mounting height.
- Compact Footprint: Designed to fit beneath most compatible wheel balancers without taking up excessive shop space.
- Platform Slide: Allows the raised wheel assembly to move toward the balancer shaft for easier mounting.
- Convenient Toggle Control: Easily accessible switch controls the raising and lowering of the wheel lift.
- Heavy Wheel Assistance: Reduces the need for technicians to manually lift and hold large tire and wheel assemblies during mounting.
- 3 Non-Mar Cone Hangers: Provides convenient nearby storage for mounting cones or a quick-release nut.
- Controlled Descent: Four base-mounted detent springs help provide a controlled leveling speed during descent.
- Air Regulator: Base-mounted regulator helps maintain the proper air pressure supplied to the pneumatic cylinder.
Make Heavy Wheel Balancing Easier
Large custom wheels, truck wheels, and other heavy tire and wheel assemblies can be difficult for a single technician to lift and position accurately on a wheel balancer. The Atlas® WBAWL supports the assembly while it is being positioned, helping reduce the physical effort required during wheel balancing operations.
Once the wheel is rolled onto the lowered platform, the pneumatic lift raises it to the appropriate height. The technician can then use the sliding platform to position the wheel onto the balancer shaft and install the required mounting components.
Ideal for Lug-Centric & Custom Wheel Mounting
Many heavy custom wheels require mounting to the balancer through the lug bolt pattern using a compatible universal lug adapter. Without a wheel lift, one technician may need to simultaneously support the weight of the wheel, align it with the balancer, and install the adapter.
The WBAWL supports the wheel during this process, making installation of compatible lug adapters easier while helping reduce the risk of accidental contact with or damage to the wheel and balancer shaft.
Sliding Platform for Easier Balancer Mounting
The integrated platform slide allows technicians to move the supported wheel toward the balancer shaft after it has been raised to the correct height. This provides greater control during mounting and helps technicians properly position heavy assemblies without having to support the entire wheel weight by hand.
Convenient Balancer Accessory Storage
Three non-mar cone hangers provide convenient storage for frequently used balancer mounting cones or a quick-release nut. Keeping these components directly on the wheel lift helps technicians organize the balancing area and keeps commonly used accessories within easy reach.
Controlled Pneumatic Operation
The WBAWL incorporates four base-mounted detent springs to provide a controlled descent leveling speed. A base-mounted air regulator also helps maintain the proper pressure supplied to the pneumatic cylinder for consistent operation.
