This is the way it's done with the new Alemite commercial " on-the-vehicle" electronic wheel balancer model 7059/A4 for coach and heavy commercial vehicle operators. Completely portable, all component parts pack away on the spinner trolley, which is mounted on rubber-tyred wheels. It is equipped with a 3 h.p. 3-phase, 415 V induction motor with manual stop-start switch incorporating an automatic overload switch. The lever-operated brake also acts as a guard to the spinner.
Working on the same principle are two smaller balancers, the Model 7057/1,1 for light commercials and Model 7058111 for cars.
