HOFMANN POWER WEIGHT – THE RIGHT WEIGHT FOR EVERY RIM

For decades, HOFMANN POWER WEIGHT products have set standards worldwide and stand for durable, long-lasting balancing properties and maximum balancing accuracy. All HOFMANN POWER WEIGHT balancing weights are manufactured according to the high requirements of the automobile manufacturers. Outstanding OEM quality, the best assembly properties and fitting accuracy combined with first-class corrosion protection are the particular strengths of HOFMANN POWER WEIGHT balancing weights. The HOFMANN POWER WEIGHT brand combines a long company tradition and history with the young thinking of a rapidly growing international brand.

ADHESIVE WEIGHT ROLL TYPE 355 2.0

Discover our optimized adhesive weight roll type 355 2.0 at this year's TIRE COLOGNE. The new segment design offers a better adaptation of the weight to the rim radius due to the trapezoidal segments and thus enables the best possible grip.

SPEEDLINER®-/ULTRALINER® - tape 

Take a look at our range of adhesive weights and the selection of our patented SPEEDLINER® and ULTRALINER® adhesive tapes. The SPEEDLINER® offers maximum adhesive strength and 50% time savings in one. It is a great relief for the workshop, especially due to the residue-free removal when dismantling the weights at a later stage. The ULTRALINER®, on the other hand, offers maximum adhesive strength in sub-optimal conditions such as cold, dirty and matt rims as well as surface tension is too low.

SPEEDCUT®

We invite you to test our SPEEDCUT®, our workshop-optimised cutting device for adhesive weight rolls. This roll holder has been specially developed for the needs of the workshop. The cardboard packaging of the SPEEDLINER® rolls and the SPEEDCUT® fit together perfectly and enable optimised work processes in the daily routine of a workshop.

KNOCK-ON AID FOR THE ASSEMBLY OF KNOCK-ON WEIGHTS 

The practical knock-on aid with integrated magnet supports you by mounting the knock-on weight to the rims especially when assembly unwieldy, small grammages. It increases your work safety and avoid downtime due to inquiries.

ALLIGATOR - YOUR EXPERT FOR VALVES, TPMS AND AIR PRESSURE SYSTEMS
