This specific model of tire changer is a leverless design, utilizing a turntable and robotic arm to mount and demount tires without traditional lever bars. This automated process reduces the risk of wheel and tire damage, making it suitable for a wide range of wheel and tire sizes, including those found on high-performance vehicles. The design typically incorporates features such as a helper arm, bead blaster, and pneumatic controls for efficient and precise operation.
The automation and precision offered by this type of equipment contribute to increased productivity and efficiency in tire shops and automotive service centers. Minimizing the risk of damage to expensive wheels is a significant advantage, as is the ability to handle low-profile and run-flat tires. Historically, tire changing was a labor-intensive and potentially damaging process. The introduction of leverless tire changers represents a significant technological advancement, improving safety and speed while reducing the physical strain on technicians.
