Totalkare extends tyre changer range
Workshop equipment expert Totalkare has launched an expanded portfolio of tyre changers for both heavy duty and light commercial vehicle applications.
Bringing tyre changing in-house can benefit workshops of all sizes, says Totalkare, allowing both financial and time savings without the need to rely on outsourcing.
With specifications available to cover all types of tyre and wheel servicing facility, from entry level machines through to fully automatic setups, the company adds that its product range enables it to offer support for all sizes of garages regardless of the types of commercial vehicles being serviced.
“As workshops see the costs of maintenance and repair for dated machinery continue to rise, investment in the latest and safest equipment ensures they are able to provide continuous service,” said Totalkare.
“This increased business efficiency is key to ensure preparation for any job that might roll through the workshop doors, and Totalkare are continuing to monitor the marketplace and expand their offering to best support the hard workers in this core industry.”
The range includes uniquely designed four-roller systems capable of dismounting and mounting a tyre in only 30 seconds, as well as super duty truck tyre changers whose operating dimensions of the clamping unit and head-tool carriage allow operation on a wide range of wheels.
Whether the work requires lever type hydraulic distributors or pneumatically tilting columns for peak rigidity to prevent rim damage, Totalkare offers a solution.
The product range includes NAV101 (pictured above), a commercial tyre changer capable of dismounting and mounting a tyre in only 30 seconds thanks to its unique design featuring adjustable arm positioning, a four-roller system and bead breakers supported by two separately controlled arms.
Meanwhile, the Karacter automatic leverless tyre changer is said to be ideal for cars and light commercial tyres. It works for wheel diameters up to 46” and rim diameters from 10” – 24”, with max width 15”.
For workshop or roadside use, the NAV26HW mobile tyre changer uses hydraulic clamping and up/down movement with a standard roller for tube tyres.
The HP641 light commercial automatic tyre changer with double-acting bead breaker cylinder is designed to work on even low-profile and large-sized steel or alloy rims.
Also available is the HP643. With an extra-wide, heavy-duty frame, this light commercial tyre changer is designed for high output garages, working on any wheel up to a maximum width of 15”.
The NAV11 heavy duty truck tyre changer (pictured, right) provides the ability to service a wide range of wheels, including super-single, thanks to the operating dimensions of the clamping unit and head-tool carriage.
Totalkare will be demonstrating its NAV101 tyre changer at the Recovery Tow Show at Telford International Centre on 20-21 September 2023 alongside a variety of workshop equipment including mobile column lifts, vehicle pit, mobile and in-ground brake testers.
