The Fortisky FTC-T2 is a leverless tire changer built around a hydraulic center post: the hook head and pressing roller ride the same column and move together on one plane, so demount and mount happen without swapping tools or repositioning between cycles. Hydraulic control holds the hook head steady in a way pneumatic machines do not, and a hand valve adjusts its distance from the rim in real time.
That rim-clearance control is the reason to buy this machine if you run run-flats, low-profile tires, or expensive alloys. The bead breaker delivers 6,614 lb at 10 bar with hand-controlled blade positioning and a rim-protecting pad.
Capacity is 10-28 in rims and tires to 47 in diameter, covering motorcycle through light truck sizes.
Features
Integrated Center Column
The hook head and pressing roller ride the same column and move together on a single plane. Demount to mount happens without switching tools or repositioning between cycles, which is where separate-tool machines lose time.
Hydraulic Instead of Pneumatic Control
Full hydraulic operation holds the hook head steady, without the rebound of a pneumatic cylinder. Fine position adjustments happen under precise control, which is what keeps steel off expensive rims.
Real-Time Rim Clearance Adjustment
A hand control valve adjusts the hook head's distance from the rim while you work, so the head never has to contact the wheel. This is the feature run-flat and low-profile work is bought for.
6,614 lb Hand-Controlled Bead Breaker
The bead breaker delivers 6,614 lb of force at 10 bar, with hand-controlled positioning that puts the blade exactly where you want it. A bead breaker pad protects the rim through the stroke, and the force is enough for seized beads on run-flats.
Helper Arm and Pedal Tire Lifter
The left helper arm presses the bead into the drop center during mounting, and a pedal-controlled lifter raises wheels onto the center axle. On the big end of the 10-28 in range, not muscling wheels up by hand matters over a shift.
Auto-Off Electronic Control
The control system stops the machine when operation pauses and restarts when you resume. Less idle wear, lower power draw, and nothing running while you reach for a tool.

Best For
Performance and Luxury Tire Shops
The leverless design and hydraulic control exist to keep tools off expensive alloy wheels, with the hook head holding an exact clearance from the rim edge. Run-flat and low-profile tires are the design target, not an edge case.
High-Volume Tire Service
With the hook head and pressing roller moving together on one plane, there is no tool switching or repositioning between demount and mount. The helper arm and tire lifter carry the physical workload across a full day of cycles.
Multi-Service Shops
The 10-28 in rim range spans motorcycles, passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs on one machine, and 6,614 lb of bead breaker force covers the seized-bead jobs.
