Hunter Road Force GSP9700 Diagnostic Machine Adds Features to Increase the Quality of Balancing Service

This unit still features the patented tools that set it apart from conventional wheel balancers, plus adds new features to further improve wheel service productivity and profitability.


Hunter’s Road Force measurement uses a “road roller” to perform a simulated road test on the wheel assembly to identify vibration and tire pull problems.

The revolutionary SmartWeight balancing technology reduces wheel weight costs 30% to 40%, saving time with more single-spin balances, and ensures customer satisfaction by providing a better overall balance.

StraightTrak Lateral Force Measurement assesses the lateral forces in tires that cause pulls and drifts and generates a tire placement plan to produce the least amount of net lateral force.  The versatility of StraightTrak LFM enables a technician to integrate this valuable information into tire mounting and balancing processes, tire rotations and alignment service.

The new RoadForce features include:

TPMSpecs Database
Hunter’s TPMSpecs presents thousands of TPMS reset procedures in a comprehensive, tech-friendly format to quickly identify the sensor type, tools needed and OE procedure for specific vehicle being serviced.  

TPMSpecs eliminates the need for confusing reference manuals and helps prevent comebacks from not knowing proper procedures. Color printouts of TPMSpecs screens are available to explain needed service.

Bar Code Scanner
A bar code scanner can be used to instantly enter the VIN to access vehicle-specific TPMS data stored on the balancer. (Scanner is sold separately.)

SmartWeight Cost-Savings Tracking Tools
The SmartWeight odometer and ROI calculator displays wheel weight savings for each balance cycle and tracks weight savings over time.

These new tools track the balancer’s weight and dollar savings using a shop’s own numbers. The statistics can be broken down into daily, monthly, yearly or lifetime savings and used to show the investment payback of the machine.

Road Force Audit
Hunter’s Road Force audit automatically runs a fast QuickMatch test with every spin. If a runout tolerance is exceeded, the balancer will then run the more thorough Road Force test and provide corrective measures to resolve the problem.  

This feature is ideal for shops that want to provide advanced balancing service for every assembly with the fastest service time possible.
