Changers
–Used
for Mounting and Demounting Tires. Speed
and Safety are a primary concern for the equipment operator as
well as the tire and wheel rim. |

| Industry
That has Changed -The
Automobile Industry is making changes in Wheel Rim and Tire
design. As a consequence of these changes today's equipment has been
redesigned. Air Powered Tire Changers were originally used to "Speed
up" changes while "preventing tire damage."
Then Aluminum or Magnesium alloy wheels forced us to seek Rim
Protection. Now with
the emergence of the “Run Flat Tire”,
today's Equipment and Operators must be able to handle stiffer
sidewall constructions with Ease. |
| Heavy
Steel rims have been replaced by lighter weight and more fuel economic
Alloy Wheels. These
fashionable wheels require special handling to prevent damage. |
| The
most recent "Run Flat Tire" technology is forcing our industry
to re-evaluate its equipment. Run Flat tires have a very low –
stiff side wall capable of providing enough support to the vehicle
allowing it to be driven
with little of no internal tire pressure. These tires require additional
hydraulics to aid the changing process. |
| Today’s
Equipment needs to be able to address both changes in rim and tire. |
