ESCO HD Bead Wedge for Tire Demounting

Heavy-duty steel wedge positioning tire beads for controlled separation

The ESCO 20397 HD bead wedge positions tire beads into the drop center of the rim, enabling faster and more controlled separation of tires with stiff sidewalls. This lightweight 2 lb. wedge minimizes bead damage and stretching while strategically guiding tires smoothly during removal. An essential accessory for commercial truck shops, agricultural equipment service facilities, and mobile tire technicians handling tough demounting jobs on rust-bonded or weathered assemblies.

Key Features

Drop Center Positioning Design

Precisely engineered shape places tire bead into drop center of rim during demounting. Positioning enables easier separation and reduces strain on tools and technician effort, especially on weathered or rust-bonded assemblies.

Stiff Sidewall Guidance

Specifically designed for tires with stiff or reinforced sidewalls that resist standard demounting methods. Wedge shape guides challenging tires smoothly throughout separation, preventing binding and uneven bead stress.

Bead Damage Protection

Strategically contoured design reduces bead damage and stretching during tire removal. Guides bead gradually and evenly, preserving tire integrity for tires being repaired or remounted rather than scrapped.

Lightweight at 2 Pounds

Easy to maneuver and position during tire service operations. Technicians quickly adjust wedge location throughout demounting cycle without fatigue, improving control and consistency across multiple tires.
