Tuxedo WB-448 — Truck Wheel Balancer
The Tuxedo WB-448 is a heavy-duty wheel balancer built for truck wheels, not a scaled-up version of Alamo's WB-953 car/light-truck balancer family. Its 298 lb wheel weight capacity is nearly double the WB-953/WB-953-B's 150 lb rating, and it runs on 220V power instead of 110V — both reflect the genuinely heavier wheels this machine is built to handle.
A back-saving pneumatic wheel lift standard helps position heavy wheels onto the shaft, and the machine is self-calibrating and self-diagnostic with ST/AL1/AL2/AL3/AL4 balancing methods, a foot brake, weight storage, and a standard toolbox.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Shops balancing heavy truck wheels up to 298 lb
- ✅ Facilities with 220V power available for a heavy-duty balancer
- ✅ Techs who want a pneumatic wheel lift instead of manually hoisting heavy wheels onto the shaft
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Standard car/light-truck wheels — see Alamo's WB-953 or WB-953-B instead
- ❌ Shops without 220V, 20 Amp single-phase power available

What Makes the WB-448 Different
298 Lb Wheel Weight Capacity
Nearly double the 150 lb rating on Alamo's WB-953 family — built specifically for heavy truck wheels, not a higher tier of the same car/light-truck machine.
Standard Pneumatic Wheel Lift
Helps position heavy wheels onto the balancing shaft without manual lifting, a feature the lighter-duty WB-953 family doesn't need or include.
220V Power
Runs on 220V instead of the WB-953 family's 110V, reflecting the heavier motor needed for truck-wheel balancing loads.
Self-Calibrating / Self-Diagnostic
Checks its own calibration rather than requiring manual calibration procedures.
✅ Best For
- ✅ Heavy truck wheel balancing up to 298 lb
- ✅ Shops with 220V power for a heavy-duty balancer
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ Standard car/light-truck wheel balancing — the WB-953/WB-953-B is the better fit and lower cost

Warranty — WB-448
Tuxedo Distributors, LLC publishes a Limited Warranty (5-year structural / 1-year parts) for its Lifts and Wheel Service equipment. Alamo downloaded the manufacturer's own 31-page operating manual for the WB-448 and searched its full text for warranty language; the manual covers safety, electrical wiring, and hood-assembly installation only, with no warranty section. No other manufacturer document naming this heavy-duty truck wheel balancer specifically was located, so no warranty term is advertised here rather than assuming coverage that isn't confirmed in writing.
