# Four-Tire Changeover Tools Hunter Engineering Launches the Road Force WalkAway Wheel Balancer By Kanesa D | Published 2025-12-08 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunter-engineering References: [brakeandfrontend](https://www.brakeandfrontend.com/hunter-launches-road-force-walkaway-wheel-balancer/) & [hunter](https://www.hunter.com/en-ca/?srsltid=AfmBOorP4YJS2G1EPJmPFj-qZtWN0-tdH9Ymiim4LZMCYc3xzD-eh-Wv)  [Hunter Engineering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunter-nature-raptor-x) has unveiled its latest innovation in automotive service technology: the Road Force WalkAway wheel balancer. Designed to streamline tire maintenance, the new balancer promises to cut the time needed for a complete four-tire changeover by up to 45 percent. At the heart of the system is Hunter’s WalkAway Inflation System, which automatically releases the [inflation chuck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Ventus-Pro) once the tires are inflated, allowing the machine to immediately begin the balancing spin. This automation translates to significant time savings for technicians: roughly 10 minutes per vehicle with a standard tire changer, 12 minutes with the [Maverick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ford-fathom) tire changer, and 15 minutes when paired with the Revolution tire changer. In addition to its efficiency, the Road Force WalkAway balancer features a new two-piece hood, enabling the unit to sit 4.5 inches closer to the wall, an advantage for workshops with limited space. A new hood angle sensor further enhances accuracy and usability, ensuring every wheel is perfectly balanced with minimal effort.
