Revolutionary SmartWeight ®by the numbers
* Time-savings are calculated from comparing single- and no-weight applications when using SmartWeight versus the typical two-weight application of standard balancers.
** Comeback avoidance is calculated based on residual static imbalance left by standard balancers versus SmartWeight balancers.
*** Calculations based on 10 vehicles per day in a standard working year. Performance differences are those of a SmartWeight-equipped balancer vs. a traditional wheel balancer.
