Used Tire Changer

A tire changer is a device that assists in dismounting and re-mounting tires to wheels. Each new or used tire changer on Alibaba.com is designed with specific vehicle classes in mind. Note that some tire changer machines might work with more than one type of vehicle.

Swing Arm Tire Changers

A swing arm tire changer is pretty common in any commercial tire shops. It has four movable desktop jaws, giving it a broader clamping range. For error-free clamping, all four tabletop jaws can be concurrently adjusted. The hi-grip jaw covers offer enough mounting torque to shield the wheels from damage. The only disadvantage of the swing arm tire equipment is that users have to constantly unscrew the machine's head to fit different sizes of tires. However, this disadvantage can be reasonably overlooked because they are easier to use, more efficient, and more affordable in the long run.

Leverless/Touchless Tire Changers

Better suited for low-profile tires. Leverless tire machines are the widely used ones in any local body shop. They are more expensive than swing arm tire machines and are top-of-the-line. Besides, spending money on a leverless tire machine is worthwhile. They are more effective in removing the tire and re-mounting it and require very little training, thus saving a lot of manpower. The capacity of a leverless tire changer to independently raise and set down hefty rims is its most coveted attribute. In some busy tire shops, the operator doesn't have to perform strenuous manual lifting.

Tilt Back Tire Changers

Tilt-back tire changers usually have an external clamping capacity of 28" and an internal clamping capacity of 30". This makes the tilt-back tire changing machine much easier to use and a more practical option for bigger tires, especially since operators won't have to keep on screwing and unscrewing the head.
