The TTC/750 is an automatic leverless tyre changer for cars and LGVs with rims up to 24”. It is a leverless tilt-back tyre changer coupled with a pneumatic bead breaker, side-mounted assist arms, and an ultra-reliable leverless demount head.
The TTC/750 is a 24” tyre changer that incorporates many patented features, making it a high-performance tabletop tyre changer. Top of the features list is the leverless mounting head which removes the need for any levers during the tyre changing operation. Instead of the traditional method of inserting a tyre lever to bring the bead up onto the mounting head, the head itself incorporates a deployable finger. Once in position and at the press of a button, the finger deploys and slides between the bead and the tyre rim. The finger is then lifted, taking the tyre bead with it, and manoeuvred onto the mounting head. The turntable is then rotated to remove the top bead before carrying out the same procedure on the bottom bead.
The side-mounted assist arms are a patented bead lifting/pressing device to assist the operator, particularly on problematic low-profile or run-flat tyres. Specifically designed for the TTC/725 range of equipment, these assist arms are a three-stage system. A lower bead dish allows the lower bead to be lifted pneumatically and safely when the bead becomes stuck on the rim edge; this system eliminates the need for the technician to use the tyre lever to release a stuck bead, which can be unsafe. The upper bead roller allows for the correct placement of the bead whilst the 3rd arm press moves around with the tyre, allowing the technician to have a hands-off approach. There are several different parts to the assist arms to help with the following:
