The standard Unite range of garage equipment feature some of the most popular tyre machines found on the market today. The tyre industy has moved on significantly from the old manual or "walk around" tyre changers and the Unite range has been designed to make the whole process alot easier and faster. Suitable for all standard wheel and tyre combinations, they range from capacities of 20" up to 28" in both semi and fully automatic systems. Some even have the abilty to be coupled with a powerful pneumatic assist arm to help with fitting those diffcult low profile and run-flat tyres. Supplied and fitted in hundreds of tyre bays across the UK, Ireland and throughout Europe, Unite tyre changers have been hugely successful and widely appreciated by all their customers from mobile tyre fitters to large fast fit chains.


The Unite range also includes 3 of the most popular wheel balancers available in the industry today. An extremely popular model is the U108 Hand Spin Wheel Balancer, with maximum wheel rim capability of 24" the hand spin wheel balancer will cover nearly every passenger vehicle on the road today. The 'hand spin' feature means there is no protective hood making this model an ideal size for mobile tyre vans and small tyre bays. By far the most popular of the range is the U820, a 24" 2D Motorised Wheel Balancer which has a balancing accuracy of 1 gram on motorcycle, passenger car, 4x4 and LGV wheels. The top of the range machine, the U829 24" Fully Automatic Wheel Balancer, offers completely automatic data input minimising both operator effort and turnaround time. This high-tech machine with flat screen display is a must for any busy tyre shop and looks pretty impressive too!


Since supplying passenger car tyre changers and wheel balancers, our customers and their needs have broadened and after increased demand over the years we have expanded our range to include commercial equipment, wheel alignement and lifting equipment. The newest addition to the range is the commercial garage equipment which was introduced after many of our existing customers wanting to expand their range of services to include commercial vehicles, naturally we continued to support their needs. Designed to make life as easy as possible for commercial tyre fitters, this brand new range of equipment will certainly deliver.
