Who It's For
Automotive Service Shops

Features
Pneumatic Tilt-Back Tower
The tower tilts back pneumatically with automatic push-pull locking. Creates clearance for mounting and demounting without fighting the machine. Stable locked position for precise bead work.
Helper Arm with Three-Point Pressing
Integrated helper arm holds the bead in the drop center during mounting. Three-point tire push system with independent column structure. Essential for low-profile and run-flat tires.
Bead Blast Inflation System
Turbo blast seats stubborn beads fast. Double-button safety design prevents accidental activation. Built-in 60 PSI pressure limiter protects against over-inflation.
Four-Jaw Self-Centering Turntable
Synchronized four-jaw linkage clamps from outside-in with automatic centering. One-piece machined chuck base resists deformation. Central bead pressing system for secure, rapid clamping.
Hardened Working Head
Mount/demount head is high-frequency quenched and hard chrome plated. Detachable swing arm design for precise bead positioning. Maintains clearance automatically once set for a rim size.
Rim Protection
All tire-contacting tools have protective covers and pads: working head, jaws, bead lever, and bead breaker. Service alloy and custom wheels without scratches.
