This compact, lightweight mounting bar features a unique mounting lip design that allows you to work easily around hub obstructions while protecting tire beads from damage.

ESCO 20430 Features
Unique Mounting Lip Design
The specialized mounting lip allows you to work around the hub for mounting reverse hub 17.5 inch and 19.5 inch rim combinations. This innovative design eliminates the need for alternative mounting methods and provides access to difficult wheel positions that standard mounting bars cannot reach.
Prevents Tire Bead Damage
The compact design eliminates "large bites" that damage tire beads during mounting operations. By reducing the contact area, the 20430 delivers precise, controlled mounting that protects even sensitive or thin-wall tire beads from gouging and tearing.
Lightweight and Portable
Weighing just 5 lbs (2.5 kg), the 20430 is easy to handle and store. The lightweight construction reduces operator fatigue during extended mounting sessions while maintaining the strength and durability needed for heavy-duty truck tire work.
Compact 34-Inch Length
The 34-inch (863 mm) length provides optimal leverage while maintaining a compact profile that fits easily into tight spaces around hubs and wheel wells. The proportionate length-to-weight ratio gives excellent control and maneuverability for precision mounting.
Professional-Grade Construction
Built from heavy-duty materials, the 20430 delivers professional-grade durability for continuous use in demanding tire shops. The reinforced design withstands the repetitive stress of high-volume mounting operations without bending or degradation.
Versatile Tire Size Compatibility
Specifically designed for 24.5 inch and smaller tire sizes, the 20430 handles most commercial truck tire applications. The compact design is particularly valuable for challenging reverse hub configurations that require precision and controlled access.
