Australia's Own Truck Wheel Balancing Technology

"I've never had such good wear on the front end steers until after fitting your balancers"

Atlas Balance Company is an Australian company servicing the Australian Trucking industry with a range of uniquely developed, locally engineered, high quality wheel balancing products to meet the demands of our harsh and unforgiving Aussie roads.
​
Just like some of our clients shown above, you can enjoy the benefits of our locally manufactured heavy vehicle truck, trailer & bus wheel balancing rings, & reap the benefits.

ON THE FLY WHEEL BALANCING

---

The liquid metal in the balancing ring counters any light/heavy spots in the wheel assembly constantly.

REDUCED WHEEL SHIMMY

---

By counteracting balancing issues, the system will alleviate vibration in steering components & the cab.

INCREASED TYRE LIFE UP TO 50%

---

With minimal vibration & "tyre bounce", uneven scalloping & tyre wear is reduced, now the tyres will wear more evenly.

IMPROVED VEHICLE HANDLING

---

With evenly balanced wheel assemblies & reduced vibration through steering components, handling is improved.

REDUCES DRIVER FATIGUE

---

Now that handling is improved, it's easier for the operator to steer the vehicle, resulting in less fatigue behind the wheel.

How The Atlas Truck Wheel Balancing System Works

About Atlas Balance Company

With centrifugal force being created by a rotating tyre and wheel that is out of balance, the liquid weight fluid being liquid metal which is free-moving within the ring to positions along the ring, this will exactly offset any light and heavy spots, thereby eliminating the vibration and creating equilibrium within the rotating mass. When positioned, the Centrifugal Force holds the LIQUID METAL in that position until a different vibrational resonance pattern develops from tyre wear or from stones, mud or ice sticking to the tyre or wheel with every rotation, which instantly forces the fluid to its new equilibrium positions.
​
The next question is why use liquid metal? It’s simple, it works faster than anything involving both oil and buck shot ball bearings. It is a product which never wears out unlike the other products which start wearing out from day one.  Being a liquid it’s able to move more to precise areas as the wheel’s counterweight which can be done by the microseconds as the wheel is in motion. So consider this fact. A 22.5 wheel can rotate approximately 30 000 times within an hour at the speed of 90 – 100 kilometres. At that speed liquid metal outweighs unbalanced tyres as a counter weight just over one kilogram due to centrifugal force.

​The Director of Atlas Balance Company, Simon McQuillan, was initially introduced to the concept of "On the Fly" wheel balancing when his family's transport company was looking for an effective solution for tyre wear & handling issues on their fleet of trucks & trailers.

After a long struggle to find suitable solutions here in Australia, Simon and his Dad finally sourced a set of wheel balancing rings from their tyre fitter.  They decided to test them on the steer axle of one of the fleet vehicles that had some handling issues they hadn't been able to rectify.

They soon noticed that not only was the truck handling much better with reduced vibration, they also achieved a higher mileage out of the new steer tyres they had fitted, and the regular driver of the vehicle was much happier with the general feel of the performance behind the wheel.

Simon knew they had made a wise investment, as overall running costs were reducing, compared to other vehicles not fitted with the wheel balance plates.

He was surprised for a product that produced such amazing results, there was very limited options available within Australia for balance plates that suited all of their heavy vehicles.  Following a lot of research and development, he set up manufacturing rights here in Queensland to produce Australia's very own truck & trailer wheel balancing system. The manufacturing of the Patent design was achieved for the unique one size fits all American, European and Asian accessories to challenge the hard Australian roads.

Their whole fleet was soon fitted out with the truck wheel balancing rings, and significant savings were made for the business as they were gaining extra tyre life only to realise later, that the fuel costs had decreased on their trucks by 5 to 7% which was unexpected.
​
Atlas Balance Company has many happy clients far & wide across Australia & New Zealand, & continues to grow each year as the word spreads about the benefits & cost savings attributed to the Atlas Wheel Balancing System.
