Ranger RWS-1B Portable Bubble Wheel Balancer
The Ranger RWS-1B bubble wheel balancer delivers professional-grade precision and accuracy when balancing automotive and light truck wheels—whether you're in the shop or working on location. Engineered with a rugged die-cast aluminum head cone, self-leveling stand, and hardened pivot components, this portable balancer combines durability with exceptional ease of use. At just 14 lbs., it's lightweight enough to take anywhere, yet tough enough to handle demanding, high-volume work day after day.
Built for Precision, Portability, and Professional Performance
The RWS-1B Bubble Wheel Balancer offers uncompromising sturdiness, portability, and balancing accuracy for car and light truck wheels. Designed with a self-leveling stand, the RWS-1B requires no extra leveling legs—so it's ready to go anytime, anywhere, right out of the box. The self-aligning, spring-loaded cone and plated steel guide rods with zinc support springs make short work of any balancing task, ensuring consistent results across a wide range of wheel sizes and types.
With a hardened pivot pin and hardened cast pivot seat, the RWS-1B provides unparalleled durability and longevity. The die-cast aluminum head cone and cast aluminum base are engineered to handle more than their fair share of overtime—whether you're running a busy shop or performing onsite mobile service in the field. The 6061 extruded aluminum ASTM B 221 shaft and recessed circular level bubble ensure that every balance is precise and repeatable, while the built-in weight-storage compartments keep your wheel weights organized and within easy reach.
With a hub hole diameter range of 1-1/2" to 4-1/2" (39 mm to 114 mm) and calibration at 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360°, the RWS-1B accommodates most passenger car and light truck applications.
