The advanced features of the Hunter (www.hunter.com) TC3700 Tire Changer service a wide range of wheel and tire combinations up to 50 inches in diameter.
The new center support with Quick Clamp adds the flexibility to easily mount large-diameter wheels and can be adjusted to three different heights to allow the technician to work at the most effective position.
The powerful, high-torque electric motor includes a two-speed drive system that operates at a low speed with increased torque to prevent damage to wheels and tire beads when servicing tough combinations.
Technicians can apply the faster speed when servicing less difficult combinations.
The tire changer column adjusts back and forth to maximize wheel diameter capacity range.
The exclusive hydraulic bead loosening roller system gently rolls the tire off or on the rim under complete command of the operator with a simple two-finger controller. The rollers are strong enough to hold the tire stationary while the rim is rotated to complete match-mounting procedures.
The three-point articulated mounting arm allows the polymer mounting head to follow the rim edge. Made of a wearing material and riding closer to the rim than steel mounting heads, the polymer head removes the potential of marring damage and reduces the stress to beads on stiff, low-profile tires. The Force Multiplier Arm aids the technician with added leverage on the mounting arm when seating the mounting head and holding it down against the wheel. The mechanical bead roller helps hold the upper bead in place when mounting tires with stiff sidewalls.
The optional pneumatic wheel lift helps technicians mount wheels effortlessly, preventing potential injuries and fatigue from manually lifting heavy wheels into place. The pedal-controlled wheel lift quickly raises the wheel and automatically positions it over the clamps for easy mounting. The technician’s hands are free to control the wheel assembly once it is lifted into the mounting position. All wheel-contact parts are polymer-coated to protect the finish on custom wheels. The lift handles wheels up to 140 pounds and takes up minimal space around the tire changer.
A bead-loosening side shovel exerts up to 6,600 lbs. of pressure to helps service special applications such as reverse drop-center wheels and motorcycle or ATV tire and wheel assemblies.
