Zusammenfassung:A method and machine for conveniently dynamically balancing heavy rotational members such as large vehicle wheels employs a horizontal rotatable shaft (20) that is movable vertically so as to align and engage the centre of the member (25) as it stands vertically on the ground. Thereafter the shaft (20) is raised vertically until the member clears the ground and is rotatable for balancing. The balancing mechanism is manually powered and detachable from the machine's base (50) for transport, and the base (50) is constructed with its vertical member (56) angled so as to preload and stress the base (50) by the weight of the member and eliminate play in the base.
