Wheel Balancing – Ever Get Customer Comebacks? We Have The Solution
We are delighted to announce that Giuliano Automotive have been appointed UK distributors for the Oreka range of specialist wheel balancing adaptors.
SpeedPlates: A Wheel Balancer Adaptor Designed for Accuracy
Made in the USA using machinery that produces products for demanding industries such as aerospace, the SpeedPlate balancing system is arguably the most important product from the Oreka line-up.
The SpeedPlate adaptor system consists of 3 balancing ‘plates’ and various studs to allow the wheel to be mounted on the balancer via the locking nut holes, as opposed to the centre-bore, exactly as it is on the vehicle.
Having extensively tested the variances between balancing on a conventional cone vs the stud-holes, we know that the SpeedPlates vastly improve the consistency and accuracy when balancing.
3 Reasons to Use SpeedPlates for Wheel Balancing
Whilst the ‘proof of the pudding is in the eating’ (we have a great customer case study to share in the next couple of weeks), and we could get very technical regarding the merits of SpeedPlate balancing, here we are going to give you three big reasons why SpeedPlates are a valuable asset to any professional tyre shop, main dealer or alloy rim specialist…
1. Eliminate Customer Comebacks with More Accurate Wheel Balancing
We all know it happens, and it is rarely the fault of the wheel balancer. Instead, it is the quality of the centre-bore of an alloy rim not providing a suitable mounting reference for a balancing cone. The stud holes are, in contrast, a perfect location to mount the rim, ensuring that any residual balance is eliminated along with costly customer re-balances
2. Improve Wheel Balancing for EVs
The advent of EVs, which introduce vastly increased load and wheel assembly weight, and more noticeable acoustics from vibrations, means that the margins for residual imbalance is way more noticeable. The ‘fine’ balance is more crucial than ever before.
3. Save Time in the Garage Workshop
With one-handed set-up, the SpeedPlates are fast to use, so there is no need to worry about wasting valuable time. Made from special material, they are virtually indestructible, meaning you can pass them from balancer to balancer as the years go by.
