The Katool KT-WL70 is a hydraulic rim straightening machine built for professional wheel repair, handling rims up to a 26" working diameter (30" maximum wheel diameter) and up to 21.6" wide — a size range that extends from passenger cars through full-size trucks and larger light commercial wheels. It runs on a 15 kW motor at 15 MPa working pressure, which puts meaningful hydraulic force behind each correction cycle and separates it from lighter-duty straighteners that struggle with thicker alloy and steel rims on trucks and SUVs.
The automatic hydraulic drive applies pressure progressively rather than in sharp bursts, which is what allows controlled correction without cracking the rim at the repair point. Adjustable assist arms and fixtures let the operator dial in wheel position before committing force — useful on larger, heavier wheels where repositioning mid-cycle wastes time and risks inconsistent results. At 573 lbs (260 kg), the machine is substantial enough to stay planted during operation without being anchored to the floor. Noise output runs below 79 dB, keeping it within a range that doesn't require hearing protection for the operator working directly alongside it.
The KT-WL70 is the right fit for dedicated wheel repair shops running high volume, tire centers that want to bring straightening in-house rather than subcontracting it, and full-service shops that regularly see truck and SUV wheels beyond the 22.5" limit of lighter machines like the KT-WL69. The step up in motor output and working pressure is the practical difference between a machine that handles passenger car wheels comfortably and one that handles the full commercial range without laboring.
