How to choose the right wheel and tire repair equipment?

When choosing tire service equipment, it is important to consider the type of vehicles being serviced, the expected workload, available workspace and the required level of automation. A smaller repair shop may need a basic tire changer and wheel balancer set, while intensive professional use may require automatic machines with assist arms, higher precision balancing and wider wheel size support.

If the repair shop works with low-profile, run-flat, SUV, commercial vehicle or truck tires, equipment selection becomes especially important. In these cases, machine power, construction strength, additional assist systems and compatible accessories help reduce the risk of tire or rim damage during operation.
