What car tire assembly is suitable for low-profile tires? Choosing a tire changer is a hard task that is best thought through in terms of all the workshop options. Since it depends on what type of tires we can mount on a rim, that is, de facto what customers we serve and which we will send to other workshops. It is worth considering during this digression the fitting intended for low-profile tires.
The tire changer for low profile tires is a device that deviates from traditional machines. The non-standard tire changer is more massive and is intended primarily for larger tires, such as the low profile and Run Flat tires mentioned above. Their construction usually takes into account the lifter, helpful at the stage of moving the wheels to the area of the assembly table. In addition, the conventional hammer was replaced in their case by pressure rollers (two or single), and the mounting foot is equipped with so-called. “LL system”, based on the use of a characteristic demolition can. This last mentioned factor also allows you to give up the necessity of using spoons. The greatest strengths of this tire removal device are their reinforced structure and optimized speed of work within problematic tires. Among the tire changers for low-profile tires, you can recommend X-36 or X-98 models from the renowned Twin Busch brand known for its unique production processes and strict quality control of its range.
When choosing a fitting, it is worth paying attention to:
- available range of supported tires and table surface (the more extensive, the better, within the limits of course the amount of space available in a given workshop),
- strength of ramming rammer – it should be relatively high if we plan to work hard on hard tires,
- thickness of the assembly column, which determines the durability of the machine during the assembly and disassembly of tires,
- height of the column – in the elevated variants it is significantly easier to service wheels with exceptionally wide rims,
- user manual and certification of a given wheel changer, issued by industry standards organizations,
- possibility of expansion, which will allow us to increase the range of tires supported by our tire shop, eg for low-profile tires or – increasingly used in Poland – Run Flat.
