The Ranger RB30T Truck Wheel Balancer is a heavyweight champion, built specifically for high-volume commercial tire dealers and truck fleets who need speed, precision, and reliability around the clock. This isn't just a scaled-up version of a standard balancer—it's a purpose-built machine designed to handle the biggest, toughest jobs in the industry. And while it's optimized for heavy-duty applications, it's fully capable of balancing light truck wheels with the same level of accuracy and ease.
Featuring Ranger's Drive-Check™ system, 64-bit microprocessor technology, and a multi-directional quartz piezoelectric sensor array, the RB30T detects imbalance across longitudinal, transverse, and shear axes—then recommends the most efficient correction method to save time, reduce waste, and extend tire life. It delivers 7-second cycle times for passenger car wheels and approximately 20-second cycles for full truck assemblies, with balancing accuracy down to ±0.035 oz (1 gram) in standard mode and ±0.4 oz (12.5 grams) in truck mode.
Built to withstand the toughest conditions, the RB30T boasts a counter-weighted flywheel and ribbed nylon-fiber drive belt featuring a polyester-aramid core, ensuring durability under extreme loads and consistent torque transfer even during extended use.
Built for Real-World Demand
When your shop's reputation rides on the balance of every wheel, the equipment you choose isn't just a tool—it's your margin, your time, your name. The Ranger RB30T Truck Wheel Balancer was built for that level of pressure. Specifically designed for commercial truck fleets and high-volume tire shops, the RB30T takes on the biggest balancing jobs with factory-grade precision and zero hesitation. Whether you're working with buses, semis, OTR applications, or light-duty trucks, this machine gives you the power and accuracy to turn over wheels fast and without guesswork.
Purpose-Built, Not Repurposed
The RB30T isn't just another "heavy-duty" option—it's a fully re-engineered platform. A max capacity of 330 lbs, tire diameters up to 49.25", and widths up to 20" are only part of the story. This machine reads like it was built by technicians who've wrestled with the biggest wheels and didn't settle for workarounds. Its cycle times hit 7 seconds for passenger car wheels and around 20 seconds for full truck assemblies, making it fast enough for volume and tough enough for abuse. Truck or car mode is just a button away, allowing seamless transitions between wheel types without extra steps or recalibration.
The 40 mm precision-machined, hardened-steel shaft ensures long-term durability and repeatable clamping force. A self-centering quick-chuck system dramatically reduces setup time and improves centering accuracy, while the electro-pneumatic braking system locks wheels for pinpoint weight placement at top or bottom dead center. The integrated pneumatic wheel lift handles up to 330 lbs with ease, reducing strain on technicians and speeding up mounting operations.
Smarter Tech, Better Balancing
At the heart of the RB30T is Ranger's Drive-Check™ system, a smart balancing tech that simulates real-world conditions and hunts down even the subtlest vibrations before they show up on the road. This isn't basic "spin and guess" balancing—it's high-sensitivity detection backed by a 64-bit microprocessor and a full suite of quartz piezoelectric sensors that measure across longitudinal, transverse, and shear axes. Once imbalance is detected, the RB30T recommends the most efficient correction—saving time, reducing waste, and improving tire wear longevity for your customers.
The machine offers five distinct balancing modes: Dynamic, Static, ALU1, ALU2, and ALUS for total compatibility with steel and aluminum wheels. The optional lower laser projects 6 o'clock placement for adhesive weights in ALU modes, while top-dead-center LED weight placement indicators guide fast and accurate clip-on weight installation. A built-in optimization mode improves balance on problematic wheels using tire rotation guidance, and self-calibration and inner-arm calibration functions maintain long-term measurement accuracy.
Engineered to Endure
It's more than smart—it's built to last. A rugged ribbed nylon-fiber drive belt and counter-weighted flywheel system deliver smooth operation under extreme loads, while the three-phase motor with solid-state phase converter ensures consistent torque without the maintenance headaches of older systems. The shaft is a hardened 40 mm steel build, machined for repeat accuracy and made to hold its own under daily abuse.
The RB30T is engineered to operate in high-heat, high-humidity environments—up to 122°F and 85% humidity—with an operating temperature range of 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C). Error-code diagnostics streamline troubleshooting and service, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum. A built-in air regulator and oiler system ensures reliable pneumatic lift operation, and the durable ribbed nylon-fiber reinforced serpentine belt resists wear and slippage under load.
Operator-Focused for Faster Workflow
Ease-of-use features are dialed in for real-world speed. A built-in pneumatic lift handles the heaviest wheels with minimal effort. An electro-pneumatic braking system locks wheels dead-on for accurate weight placement. Top-dead-center and bottom-dead-center modes give techs flexibility with clip-on or stick-on weights, and a bright LED display guides them to perfect placement in seconds. The optional lower laser mode pinpoints 6 o'clock adhesive weight positions when working with alloy wheels.
The touchpad interface with intuitive LED guidance and clear operator prompts makes training new technicians fast and reduces errors. Manual or automatic start options when the hood is lowered can be customized for individual technician workflow, and a dual-unit display allows user preference between gram/ounce and inch/millimeter readouts.
Ready for the Grind
Even storage and workflow get an upgrade. A spacious top tray holds an arsenal of wheel weights, while side shelves and cone pegs keep everything organized and ready for rapid-fire balancing. The machine is shipped with a full multi-piece commercial mounting kit, including all necessary cones and adapters to start balancing everything from day one—no upsell required.
Multi-directional onboard storage offers generous space for weights, cones, and tools, keeping technicians moving without interruptions for supply runs. The RB30T supports wheels from 13" to 24" in diameter (330 mm to 610 mm) and 4" to 20" in width (102 mm to 508 mm), with balancing increments down to 0.035 oz (1 gram) and a resolution of ±0.09 oz (2.5 grams).
Productivity Without Compromise
For tire shops chasing throughput, and fleet operations who can't afford downtime, the RB30T is the kind of upgrade that pays for itself fast. It's a purpose-driven powerhouse that combines old-school durability with cutting-edge tech—giving you the confidence to tackle every wheel that rolls through your bay without hesitation or compromise.
With balancing speeds of 260 RPM for car mode and 135 RPM for truck mode, the RB30T delivers the fastest cycle times in its class without sacrificing accuracy. The power supply is 208–240V, 50/60 Hz, 1 Ph, 1.5A, and the unit ships at a shipping weight of 990 lbs (449 kg).
