The WB-953-B is built on a 36 mm balancing shaft with a Speed-Nut and an integrated centering spring — a mounting stack designed so a wheel lands square and stays square, because a wheel mounted a fraction off centre will read as an imbalance that is not there and send an operator chasing weights that never fix anything. Everything else on this machine, from the two-operator memory to the shelf of weight pockets, is arranged around getting wheels on and off that shaft quickly and correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe mounting system, in detail\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA 36 mm shaft is a deliberately heavy-duty diameter. It resists deflection under an out-of-balance load, and it accepts the wide spread of cone and adaptor sizes needed to cover everything from a motorcycle rim to a light-truck alloy. The Speed-Nut is the piece that changes the day-to-day: a lead-in screw draws the nut onto the thread and clamps the wheel without you winding a nut down the whole length of the shaft. Over a shift that is minutes back per bay. The integrated centering spring sits behind the cone and holds the wheel concentric while you tighten, which is precisely the step operators rush when they are busy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe machine measures to one gram. That resolution only means something if the mounting is repeatable, which is why the shaft and the Speed-Nut are the headline here rather than a number on a display.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTwo operators, one machine\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMulti-user operation lets two technicians work the balancer simultaneously with different settings held independently. In a two-bay shop this removes the small, constant friction of one tech re-entering rim data because the other tech changed it. Data entry is a touch-panel keypad with icon-marked keys, and distance and diameter are entered manually alongside a retractable measuring tool that stows back into the machine rather than living on a bench where it gets lost. Static, dynamic and three ALU weight modes are all standard, so alloy wheels needing tape weights behind the spokes are handled without a workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWheel range, and what will actually fit\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eRim diameter capacity runs 10\" to 24\" and rim width 1.5\" to 20\" (up to 508 mm), with an overall wheel diameter limit of 39\" (990 mm) and a wheel weight capacity of 150 lbs. The 24\" rim figure (610 mm) is the one to check against your customer base — large-diameter alloys have moved up steadily and a shop that regularly sees oversized rims should confirm this range covers them before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eConfirm the hood on this model before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished descriptions of this model differ on the wheel guard, so both are set out here. \u003cstrong\u003eThe product title says “No Hood”; the manufacturer's feature list carried on this page describes a large 38\" hood or shroud.\u003c\/strong\u003e If the presence or absence of a wheel guard affects your decision — and if your shop policy or your insurer requires one, it will — \u003cstrong\u003eask us to confirm in writing what ships with this exact model before you place the order.\u003c\/strong\u003e We will get the answer straight from Tuxedo.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill it fit your shop?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePower is a standard 110V, 15 amp, single-phase circuit — no high-voltage drop, no three-phase service. Confirm the branch circuit is a genuine 15-amp run.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe machine arrives at 305 lbs, so it needs a flat, level piece of floor and a plan for getting it there. Balancers are sensitive to a floor that flexes or a machine that rocks; a solid, level slab under all feet is worth more to your readings than any feature on this page. Siting, levelling and the electrical supply are the customer's responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOverhead space is the other question, and it is the one that depends on the hood answer above.

Plan the unload before you buy: you will need a forklift, a dock, or enough capable hands and equipment — or you can elect terminal pickup and collect it yourself. Deliveries to a residential address carry a residential fee, added at checkout when it applies. Warehouse pickup is available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect the crate at delivery, before you sign anything. Look for punctures, crushed corners and shifted or broken banding, and record whatever you find on the bill of lading while the driver is still there.
