Description
Overview
The Tuxedo TC-1300 is a leverless, tilt-back tire changer built for shops that run a steady mix of standard and low-profile wheels. The leverless mount and demount head removes the pry bar from the process, which protects rims and speeds up each cycle.
A tilt-back column swings the tower out of the way for loading and gives the operator room to work. The three-function assist arm holds the bead down on stubborn low-profile tires, while a pneumatic locking hex shaft keeps the mount and demount head set where you want it. Four self-centering clamps with dual bead-blaster jets seat the bead fast. The TC-1300 handles wheels up to 41 inches in diameter and rim widths from 3 to 15 inches.
