The Fortisky FTC-6700 is a fully automatic vertical truck tire changer that runs 14-42 in rims and tires up to 59 in in diameter and 3,307 lb. The vertical layout keeps heavy commercial tires at working height, and a single joystick drives every function: chuck rotation, arm movement, bead pressing, tire lifting. One operator, standing wherever the sightline is best.
Two 1.5 kW motors (pump and gearbox) deliver 4.0 HP through enlarged hydraulic lines for faster cycle times, with a gauge for real-time pressure monitoring. The mount/demount hook works in both directions, and the bead pressing roller locks to rim size on a scale so it stays put between mount and demount cycles. Aluminum wheel clamps with jaw protectors mean alloy rims come off unmarked, and passenger vehicle adapters are included, so the same machine that services Class 8 trucks also handles the fleet pickups.
Know the infrastructure before you order this heavy duty tire changer: it requires 3-phase power (220-230V or 380-440V) and a minimum 8 in concrete slab, with anchor bolts for wheels over 1,100 lb.
Features
Vertical Design, Joystick Control
The vertical layout holds heavy truck tires at working height instead of flat on the floor, and every function runs through a single joystick: chuck rotation, arm movement, bead pressing, tire lifting. You operate from any position around the machine with the best view of the bead.
Bi-Directional Mount/Demount Head
The hook tool works in both directions, and the adjustable bead pressing roller locks to rim size on a scale. Once set, it stays put between mount and demount cycles, so there is no repositioning tax on every tire.
Sealed Gearbox
The fully sealed gearbox keeps tire dust and grit out of the gears, which is exactly what kills open gearboxes in tire shops. Less wear, less maintenance, longer service life.
Dual-Motor Hydraulic System
Separate 1.5 kW pump and gearbox motors deliver 4.0 HP total through enlarged oil lines: higher flow, faster motor speed, quicker cycle times. A hydraulic gauge gives real-time pressure monitoring.
Aluminum Wheel Protection
The self-centering chuck carries specialized clamps and jaw protectors for aluminum and alloy wheels, so light-alloy rims clamp without scratches or gouges. Optional light-alloy clamps (Art.137/90) are available for dedicated alloy work.
Layered Hydraulic Safety
A check valve on the spindle line prevents wheel drops, a second check valve on the chuck arm stops uncontrolled descent, a relief valve caps system pressure at 130 bar, and a motor overload cut-off prevents burnout. With tires up to 3,307 lb on the machine, each of those matters.

Installation Requirements
Concrete and Space
The slab must be at least 8 in (20 cm) thick, B25 quality per DIN 1045, flat and level. For wheels over 1,100 lb, anchor bolts are required: drill 130 mm deep with a 16 mm bit, with bolts extending 125 mm into the slab. Working area is 88 x 65 in minimum, and an outdoor installation must be covered.
Electrical
Three-phase power at 220-230V or 380-440V, 50/60Hz, with a 30 mA circuit breaker and fuse protection (25 A at 220V, 16 A at 380V). The machine must be grounded. There is no single-phase option, so shops without 3-phase service need that resolved before ordering.
Environment
Operating range is 32 to 131 F (0 to 55 C) with humidity of 30 to 95 percent, non-condensing.
