DESCRIPTION OF THE TYRE CHANGER
The machine is an universal electro-pneumatic tyre changer, to be used with wheels with drop
centre featuring weights and dimensions as described in the technical data section.
It is designed to work effectively on:
- Conventional wheels;
- Reverse rim wheels or wheels without central hole (use optional kit);
- Light commercial vehicle rims (use optional kit);
- Run-flat tyres with reinforced sidewalls*.
* WARNING: There are specifically studied procedures for this type of wheels.
NB: It may be difficult and sometimes impossible to clamp and/or demount wheels of Vintage cars (cars
out of production for over 30 years), some types of rally wheels and non-standardized street wheels.
The machine is solidly constructed. It operates with the wheel in an horizontal position for both bead
breaking and demounting/mounting operations.
All machine movements are controlled by the operator by means of pedals on the pedal unit and
manual controls on the console.
The machine can be used to easily break, demount and mount any type of the above tyres.
In any stage, the tyre changer operates with a clamped and perfectly centred horizontal wheel on
the turntable.
Wheel loading and unloading operations are simplified by an ergonomic wheel lift which minimizes
the operator effort required (optional).
The main advantage of the machine is that it does not require a bead lifter lever.
Its absolutely innovative operating principle comprises:
- A wheel positioning system that makes use of the wheel inner side and the machine axial mounting
turntable as references (an optional reverse rim kit is supplied for rims with drop centres on the
inner side).
