Tough wheel combinations are no challenge for new tire service equipment

By: Lori L. Mavrigian

Hennessy now offers the Coats ProGuard Leverless tire changer equipped to handle difficult wheel and tire assemblies.

Tire service equipment manufacturers have developed new products specifically geared for working with difficult tire/wheel combinations — and doing it with ease.

Here are products new to the market designed with your service technicians’ safety and productivity in mind.

Bosch TC 526 THP tire changer

The TC 526 THP, a high-end, manual tilt-tower tire changer, is designed to provide outside clamping from 10 inches up to 26 inches. Replacement plastic inserts protect the rim surface from metal contact and standard jaw protectors lock into place for added rim protection.

The heavy tower and cabinet also help prevent tire damage by eliminating tower flex. The 750-pound unit is six-foot high, and features a three-position bead breaker with telescoping adjustment; non-opposing adjustable jaws;  and  a dual-cylinder, pneumatic “mounting helper system” (which is not included with the Model TC 526 T tire changer).
