Key Features & Benefits
High-Capacity Center-Post Design
47" max diameter with 12" to 30" clamp range. Covers virtually all passenger car and light truck applications including large SUV aftermarket sizes. The center-post configuration with stainless steel mounting head and protective plastic rim covers prevents damage to expensive alloy wheels.
Fully Hydraulic Lever-Less Architecture
2.0 HP gearbox motor and 1.5 HP hydraulic power unit running at 6.8 rpm turntable rotation. No manual tire irons or pneumatic-assist needed. Pure copper motor windings ensure efficient heat dissipation and extended service life under continuous operation.
Integrated Professional Features
Built-in top assist arm and wheel lift assistant included as standard equipment for run-flat and low-profile tire service. The wheel lift reduces operator strain when handling heavy assemblies, while the top assist arm applies controlled pressure during difficult bead breaking.
Standard 110V Operation
Single-phase 110V, 60 Hz power. Install in shops with standard electrical service without 220-240V three-phase infrastructure. Faster installation and reduced total project costs.
