Who It's For
High-End Tire Shops and Dealerships
The leverless center-post design eliminates pry bar contact with rims. Hydraulic control provides precision that pneumatic machines can't match. Built for shops handling premium alloy and chrome wheels.
High-Volume Tire Operations
Synced dual pressure wheels move together, cutting repositioning time. Variable-speed servo motor adjusts to any tire type. Faster cycle times on every vehicle.
Shops Upgrading from Pneumatic
Hydraulic power eliminates air pressure inconsistencies. More stable operation, more accurate positioning, no compressor dependency for main functions.
Features
Leverless Center-Post Design
No tire irons touch the rim. The patented crescent hook head works with pressure wheels to mount and demount without metal contact. Adjustable gap control sets exact clearance between hook and rim surface.
Synchronized Dual Pressure Wheels
Upper and lower pressure wheels move together. Position once, work fast. Handles low-profile performance tires through standard passenger sizes.
Hydraulic Control System
Operating pressure of 13-16 MPa delivers 6,600+ lbs bead breaker force. Smooth, precise movement for run-flats and stiff sidewalls. No pneumatic inconsistencies.
3.0HP Servo Motor
Runs under 70dB with stepless speed control. Pulse speed controller adjusts rotation on the fly. Slow for low-profiles, fast for standard tires.
Integrated Bead Blaster
Seats stubborn beads quickly. Dual-button activation prevents accidental discharge.
Automatic Tire Inflation
Set target pressure, connect hose, press start. System inflates to spec and alerts when complete.

FAQs
What rim sizes can the FTC-T8 handle?
10" to 30" rims. Tire widths up to 15.7" (400mm), tire diameters up to 49" (1250mm). Covers cars, SUVs, light trucks, and performance vehicles.
What makes this leverless?
Traditional tire changers use metal pry bars that contact the rim. The FTC-T8 uses a center-post system with a crescent hook head and synchronized pressure wheels. No metal tools touch the wheel surface. Adjustable gap control ensures zero contact.
Why hydraulic instead of pneumatic?
Hydraulic delivers consistent, controllable power without compressor pressure fluctuations. Smoother operation, more precise positioning.
What are the electrical requirements?
220V / 60Hz / Single Phase. Dedicated circuit recommended. Compressed air (under 58 PSI) needed only for bead blaster and inflation.
How loud is it?
Under 70dB during operation. Servo motor runs quieter than conventional induction motors.
What maintenance is required?
Check hydraulic oil regularly. Clean chuck with diesel, lubricate slides with molybdenum disulfide. Blow out control box dust periodically. Inspect cylinders for leaks. Tighten pressure wheel and center column bolts as needed.
Does it work on run-flat tires?
Yes. 6,600+ lb bead breaker force handles stiff run-flat sidewalls. Variable-speed servo motor allows precise control.
What's the warranty?
1 year standard on all operating components. 2-year extended available. Free parts shipping on warranty claims. Does not cover wear items, abuse, or improper installation.
