Hofmann Megaplan keeps tyres and wheels turning
Hofmann Megaplan supplies, installs and maintains a range of tyre and wheel handling equipment specifically designed for the commercial vehicle sector, in addition to its portfolio for cars and light goods vehicles.
The company says its focus is on traditionally built machines designed for longevity, citing build quality, strength and reliability as among the benefits of the equipment.
The current CV tyre and wheel range includes three tyre changers, two wheel balancers and the TruckaLine 58 fully computerised Truck/CV wheel alignment system.
The megamount 352 tyre changer is available in single and three-phase, and is said to be the ideal machine for owner/operators and truck tyre specialists alike. A rim clamping capability up to 27” and a 1,600mm (63”) outside diameter make the megamount 352 extremely versatile, says the company, while a two-speed hydraulic chuck makes fast work of any job.
The heavy duty megamount 752 is a tyre changer for truck and plant applications. Boasting a rim diameter capability of 14” to 56”, outside diameter of 2,300mm (90.5”), and rim width up to 1,065mm (42”), the model is said to be a great ‘all-rounder’ for anything from buses to heavy plant machinery. It is available in single and three-phase, and a two-speed chuck and portable control unit complete the specification.
The megamount 852 truck tyre changer is an extremely heavy duty unit for handling the widest variety of CV and plant rims, from buses to earthmovers. Available in three-phase only, it will handle rims from 14” to 56” with outside diameter up to 2,400mm (98”) and width up to 1,300mm (53”).
An industrial strength gearbox and clamping chuck mean the megamount 852 can work in the harshest conditions, says Hofmann Megaplan, such as mining facilities and military field operations.
The wheel balancer range comprises the Junior Truck Tyre Balancer – said to offer an affordable solution for heavy duty truck wheels – and the megaspin 250, a portable, handspin commercial wheel balancer, which can be operated in a workshop environment or on a mobile van. Both feature built-in wheel lifters and the ability to cover all car, LCV and HGV wheels.
“The robust design of Hofmann Megaplan commercial vehicle equipment continues to strike the same high quality standards that have become expected of Hofmann Megaplan,” said the company.
“All in all, it’s one of the most comprehensive product offerings for commercial tyre shops, fleet and plant operators in the UK.”
