Wheel and Tire Repair Equipment

Wheel and tire repair equipment is used for tire mounting, tire demounting, wheel balancing, wheel alignment checks, rim repair, wheel washing, pressure control and daily tire service work.

This section includes equipment for repair shops, tire service centres, transport companies, fleets and businesses that service passenger cars, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, agricultural machinery or municipal equipment.

Tire service equipment for wheel maintenance and repair

The right wheel and tire service equipment depends on the vehicle types being serviced, wheel size, workload, available service area and required level of automation. Regular tire service work usually requires tire changers and wheel balancing machines, while a broader work area may also need rim repair, alignment, wheel washing, pressure control and storage equipment.

Passenger cars, SUVs, commercial vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles and specialized machinery have different requirements for machine construction, power, supported wheel sizes and accessories. Before choosing a specific model, it is important to check which vehicles will be serviced and which tasks will be performed most often.
