Those of you in the mechanic’s trade have likely heard of BendPak, one of the premier car lift manufacturers in the market these days. Well, it’s not all car lifts around the BendPak offices, but they’ve also been hard at work coming up with all sorts of other shop solutions. One of those solutions, the DST-2420 Ranger wheel balancer, offers accurate balancing within hundredths of an ounce, keeping your clients’ wheels from vibrating off their axles. And, it does all this with a minimum amount of actual effort!

A Balancing Act

The DST-2420 offers extreme accuracy by automatically calculating the weight needed to achieve the optimal balance of all your tires 30″ in diameter and smaller. An LED display marks the exact location and amount of weight needed in only six seconds. It can operate in dynamic, static, and performance alloy settings, allowing shops to balance both OEM wheel configurations and performance wheels.

It achieves this high level of speed and precision through its highly precise digital sensor technology, which features a 16-digit digital sensor and a single chip circuit board. You might not guess this, but according to BendPak, this single-chip board presents all sorts of advantages over multi-chip implementations with the same functionality. It reduces latency and boosts device throughput. A dedicated hyper transport protocol allows data to move much faster and results in less power consumption and lower heat levels.

Additionally, the Ranger wheel balancer features multi-directional quartz piezoelectric load sensors and a digital rotation encoder. These measure longitudinal, transversal, and shear effects for multi-directional force unbalance detection. Because these sensors offer fantastic stability and fatigue resistance, you can expect exceptional durability from your DST-2420.

Now With More Cones!

The Ranger wheel balancer comes with multi-size center cones and a Quik-Nut bell adapter to make mounting wheels fast and easy. However, this package also comes with not only standard car and truck cones, but also heavy-duty truck cones and spacer rings.

Cutting Weight

Additionally, the DST-2420 features a newly designed side shelf. Its open-top design accommodates a roll of the Ranger Quik-Peel adhesive tape weights. And, because the Ranger wheel balancer automatically calculates the minimum amount of weight actually needed to achieve the optimal balance, you’ll spend less on extraneous weights.
