Tire Balancing Machine Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Sealed Unit
Tire Balancing Machine Specification Example for Scooter Fleets: Sealed Unit
This is a worked specification for tire balancing machine in a sealed unit programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The sealed unit version exists because the duty cycle on scooter fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Tire Balancing Machine |
|---|---|
| Application | Scooter Fleets |
| Version | Sealed Unit |
| Base material | Anodised Aluminium |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | E-mark |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Anodised Aluminium, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- laser cutting
- shot blasting
- anodising
- surface grinding
- precision stamping
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run sealed unit most often specify this build for scooter fleets. Related applications include racing teams, three-wheelers, boat trailers, agricultural trailers, passenger cars.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
