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 and the cab.
Increased Tyre Life Up To 50%
With minimal vibration and "tyre bounce", uneven scalloping and tyre wear is reduced, now the tyres will last longer
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 when
Reduced fuel consumption
Unbalanced tyres put more stress on the engine of your vehicle, since the resistance created by the imbalance forces the engine to work harder
How It Works
How Our Truck Wheel Balancing Technology Works
CENTRIFUGAL FORCE is created by a rotating tyre and wheel. When that is out of balance; the liquid weight fluid – that is a liquid metal, which is free-moving within the ring, moves to positions along the ring to exactly offset any light and heavy spots; thereby eliminating the vibration and creating equilibrium within the rotating mass.
When positioned, 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.
Read MoreContinual – Instant – Dynamic self-adjustment
The Atlas Balance System will precisely, instantly and dynamically self-adjust to tyre and wheel imbalance, because nature MUST have equilibrium, and natural forces will act on the counterbalancing fluid to eliminate vibrational resonance and disequilibrium.

Case Studies
Wilken Bulk Haulage, A helluva difference!
“Tyre Pressures play a big role in the life of steer tyres. Inflation too. Depending on the roads you are driving, dropping PSI can drop km off your tyres. Balanced tyres will give you a better ride than a soft tyre, and they don’t slow you down. Balance Rings make a hell of a difference, and you’ll notice that in the steering wheel.”Brendan Jackson is a thinking driver, a workshop supervisor who carefully notes wear and tear on tyres and fuel consumption; and often takes the wheel himself as a relief driver for Wilken Grain Haulage – @WilkenGroup Brendan’s father-in-law owns Wilken, and in addition, they have our own fuel station and contract with fuel carriers. Brendan, says – “we just haven’t stopped since Covid.”
“I first found out about Atlas Balance Rings at the Brisbane Truck Show. We had an old fashioned habit of using balance bags in city-use tyres. Well, I’m not a tyre expert, but ever since I put Atlas Balance Rings on my own Mack 2006 LT Superliner, I noticed the difference. “
“As a test, I fitted Atlas Balance Rings; didn’t tell the drivers; but paid a lot of attention to the running gear and their comments. One driver only got 1.5 km down the road, and rang and asked me ‘What did you do to my truck? All the chatter has gone out of it ! I also put a set of Atlas Balance Rings on my fuel truck at 6 am, and by 2 pm I had the driver call me, and say “Geez this is good !”
“So I proceeded to balance the rest of the steers in the fleet. It’s interesting – whatever issue you have with the truck the balance rings makes it easier to identify. I rotate tyres every 20,000kms for driver comfort and because I’m getting 150,000 plus km out of tyres that previously only lasted to 125,000 km. I also noticed drive tyres settled in quicker, and a smoother drive as well. We noticed wobbles were cut in half. ”
Atlas Balance Rings smoothes rough roads for livestock fleets
Betts Transport manage both livestock and general carrying. Peter Betts started with Atlas Balance Ring steers on just one of his rigs, and after seeing the difference in handling and tyre-savings, he then went right through the fleet, fitting out both the rural fleet and coastline running vehicles, which are American and Euro trucks, with Atlas Balance Rings.
Peter is impressed with the ease of fitness, with no wasted downtime, in addition to extra tyre savings.
Bling fleet love Atlas Balance Rings
Winston Express Haulage started with one of their Kenworths and then have followed through, doing their entire fleet through the steers and drives. Nathan from Winston has set the mark as his family has a great new fleet.
Jason, Nightingales Transport, less wear & tear on the rig and the body!
Here is a customer we’ve featured before. Jason of Nightingales Transport. He bought himself this new KW K200 a while back. He took the new rig back to the dealer three times within the first year due to the vibration and shaking in the steering, but didn’t get anywhere. They said there was nothing wrong with it, so he bought the rings for the steers and drives and hasn’t looked back!
Jason has said he was going to consider fitting out the trailers now due to the extra tyre life he was saving along, with wear and tear on the rig as well as his own body. Remember, if it’s Atlas, it’s Balanced.
Darren Powell’s Kenworth feels like a brand new truck
Darren Powell has been a customer since 2019. His Kenworth has been back to the dealer a couple of times due to vibration and shaking through the truck, where they told him nothing was wrong.
He soon purchased a set of Steer Axle Balance Rings, fitted them up, then called Simon to tell him he felt like he was driving a brand new truck. Then he grabbed a pair of Balance Rings for his K200 as well. In a video we published in August 2020 ( https://fb.watch/1nTxfjcmKH/ ) you will see that he has 100,000 km on the steers here and you can see how well the steer tyre is wearing.
There’s still plenty of life left in the left-hand steer (right one had a blowout and was replaced). Darren is getting great tyre life, the truck is smoother and easier to handle – what’s not to like about this Aussie made product?!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Active Balancing?
Spin Balancing while you drive. Atlas Balance will not only balance your tyres, Atlas Balance will balance your wheel assembly being the wheel and hub.
How does it work?
With centrifugal force, the liquid will always find the light side.
What is the Liquid?
A. Recycled Liquid Metal , it will not Freeze or Boil at any temperature that you will drive at and can find a precise unbalanced area in the tyre by as much as a micro second.
Will the liquid wear out?
A. NO, Liquid Metal is the ONLY non Frictional liquid known to mankind that will not wear, therefore allowing it to outlast the life span of the vehicle and can be recycled onto other vehicles over and over again.
Is the Liquid Metal a hazard?
ONLY if it is ingested, inhaled, gargled or injected – and who plans to do that?

Client Testimonials
Our commitment to sustainability helps us reduce waste and share the benefits with our customers. It permeates the way we do business, driving us to innovate.
“To any one of our Transport industry friends sitting on the fence regarding Atlas Balance Rings; I had them fitted a few years ago now and the difference is amazing….I used to get 120,000klm maximum out of steer tyres and I have JUST TAKEN THESE OFF AT 186,000 KMS …
Today we are chatting with valued customer Ryan Hocking, who used to drive for Emerald Carrying Company. He originally brought the Atlas Balance Rings from a previous business based in Gladstone, Pembrose. Brian took the rings from there to Emerald Carrying Company and is now driving for Paramount Freightlines.
“ I did have a run this week, the balance rings have made a world of difference to the 610. I am very happy with the handling, Atlas Balance Rings have taken all of the rough handling out of the truck, making it a different truck altogether. I can’t believe the difference. It is awesome Simon. Thank you!”
200,000 KMs ON THE DRIVE TYRES! G’day folks – You know, when you’re working hard, and then something happens that makes you feel like it’s all worthwhile?? You get a message like this – “Hi Simon, Mal McCosh here, I bought a full set of Atlas Balance Rings off you last year. 200,000 kms on the last set of drive tyres! B-Double Stock Crates, and 160,000 on steer tyres. ”
I bought the original set 18 months and put them on a truck to get a bit of extra tyre life, as the tyres were down. They should have been coming off soon, but with the Atlas Balance Rings, I got an extra 10,000 kms out of them. I was impressed so I fitted Atlas Balance Rings to my new Mack Superliner rig at WestVic tyre service at Mortlake.
Helluva a difference!

Nothing better than Happy Customers, and this is high praise indeed from Andy Campbell of Campbell’s Transport Services Pty Ltd. “BEST MONEY YOU’LL EVER SPEND. The reduction in fatigue from vibrations makes Atlas Balance Rings worth it before even considering the cost savings!
We have your products on three of our prime movers. One is a DAF XF 105, second is a T401 Kenworth Crane truck, the third is a T404 SAR Kenworth Crane truck. Over the last 18 months these three units have had improved tyre wear and steering.
We currently have our fleet of UD and Volvo curtain sider trucks running Atlas Balance Company plates and we are very happy with the results.
Given the condition of some of the roads we travel on wheel balancing is an issue, before fitting the balance rings drivers regularly complained of steering shake or shudder.
We started by putting a set of balance rings on just one of the Kenworth B doubles running super singles. The driver came back two days later asking what we had done to the truck as it simply held onto the road better.
