The Corghi ET88 Laserline Wheel Balancer is a heavy-duty, professional-grade balancing solution engineered specifically for shops that work primarily on truck and bus wheels. With its robust 220 kg maximum wheel weight capacity and integrated 200 kg pneumatic lift system, the ET88 delivers unmatched versatility for commercial vehicles, vans, cars, and off-road applications. Whether you're balancing a compact car wheel or a heavy-duty truck rim, the ET88 provides the precision, speed, and ease-of-use demanded by today's high-volume tire professionals.
Featuring a large 19" LCD widescreen monitor with intuitive graphics, the ET88 makes operation straightforward—even for new technicians. Advanced functions like automatic sensor measurement for wheel distance and adhesive weight application, 7 ALU programs for both truck and car wheels, and patented "Shift Planes" and "Hidden Weight" programs ensure you can handle any balancing challenge with speed and accuracy. The ET88's optimized low-speed balancing algorithm and 6-second average measuring time for car wheels (18 seconds for truck wheels) mean you'll move through your workload faster without sacrificing quality.
The ET88 Truckline wheel balancer was created to meet the rigorous demands of professionals working on truck and bus wheels day in and day out. Its heavy-duty construction, reinforced 46 mm shaft diameter, and substantial 255 kg machine weight provide rock-solid stability even when balancing the heaviest commercial wheels. The integrated pneumatic lift with ergonomic control allows technicians to manage wheels weighing up to 200 kg effortlessly, reducing physical strain and improving shop productivity.
Yet despite its truck-focused engineering, the ET88 doesn't compromise on car wheel performance. With dedicated car wheel programs and the ability to accommodate rim diameters from 7" to 30" and rim widths from 1.5" to 22", this balancer seamlessly transitions between commercial fleet work and everyday passenger vehicle service. The ET88 automatically identifies whether a truck or car wheel is fitted, ensuring the correct balancing parameters are applied every time.
At the heart of the ET88 is Corghi's cutting-edge balancing technology. The automatic sensor measures the distance of the wheel from the machine and locates the exact position for attaching adhesive weights in Alu P programs. This eliminates guesswork and ensures perfect weight placement for alloy rims that demand maximum precision. The Alu 1 P and Alu 2 P programs are specifically designed for balancing alloy rims where both weights must be attached on the inside for a clean, professional finish.
The ET88 also features Corghi's patented "Shift Planes" program, which allows you to use weights in multiples of five grams without the need for partial cuts—saving time and reducing inventory complexity. The innovative "Hidden Weight" program subdivides the adhesive balancing weight for the outside of the wheel into two equivalent weights positioned behind the spokes of the rim, delivering a cosmetically superior result that customers will appreciate.
The balancer's 1 gram readout accuracy ensures pinpoint precision, while its ability to calculate unbalance values up to 999 grams for car wheels and 1999 grams for truck wheels means even the most out-of-balance commercial wheels can be corrected. A pneumatic brake automatically slows the wheel when measurement is finished and locks the shaft, making weight application safer and easier.
The 19" LCD widescreen monitor on the ET88 isn't just large—it's designed with clarity and ease-of-use in mind. High-resolution graphics guide technicians through each step of the balancing process, from entering wheel data to selecting the appropriate program. The simple, intuitive keypad allows for quick data entry, and interactive help is available on-screen whenever needed. Even technicians new to the ET88 can get up to speed quickly, minimizing training time and maximizing shop efficiency.
The visual interface also includes a visual wheel wobble inspection feature, allowing you to identify bent or damaged wheels before balancing. Combined with OPT FLASH functionality for precise weight placement indication, the ET88 provides all the information you need at a glance to deliver fast, accurate results.
With its original design and robust construction, the ET88 is built to withstand the demands of busy commercial tire shops. Operating on 115V / 1 Ph power with a pneumatic air supply pressure of 6 - 15 bar, it integrates seamlessly into your existing shop infrastructure. The balancer's low noise level of < 70 dB (A) ensures a more comfortable working environment, even during extended operation.
The ET88 places itself at the top of the range with its combination of speed, precision, ease-of-use, and heavy-duty capability. Whether you're running a dedicated truck service center or a full-service tire shop handling everything from compact cars to heavy commercial vehicles, the Corghi ET88 Laserline Wheel Balancer gives you the tools to deliver professional results faster.
