Unite 2019 24” Semi-Automatic Tyre Changer with Twin Assist Arm

Unite 2019 24” Semi-Automatic Tyre Changer with Twin Assist Arm

The Unite 2019 24” Semi-Automatic Tyre Changer with Twin Assist Arm represents a significant upgrade for any professional workshop. It provides a blend of rugged durability and precision engineering. This machine is specifically built to address the challenges presented by modern, stiff-walled run-flat tyres and low-profile wheel configurations.

By integrating a space-efficient swing arm design, the equipment ensures that even workshops with limited floor space can offer high-quality tyre servicing. It is an ideal choice for mobile tyre fitters or smaller garages looking to expand their service capability without investing in oversized, cumbersome machinery.

Mechanical Physics and Operational Forces

Successful tyre changing relies on the delicate balance of mechanical leverage and pneumatic force. This model utilises a powerful pneumatic bead breaker that generates a massive 2,500kg of force. This immense pressure is necessary to break the bead seat on stubborn tyres that have been tightly bonded to the rim over time.

The structural integrity of the vertical column and the swing arm is engineered to withstand extreme torsional stress. When the mounting head interacts with the tyre bead, it experiences significant outward pressure. The design of this machine ensures that the column remains rigid, preventing the flex that often leads to wheel damage or equipment failure. The pneumatic locking systems for the column and assist arm are essential, as they maintain total stability during the high-torque movements required for mounting thick tyres.

Step-by-Step Operational Workflow

Technicians will find that the workflow is highly intuitive, allowing for rapid throughput during busy shifts. The process begins by securing the wheel on the turntable using the pneumatically operated clamping jaws. Once the wheel is locked into position, the operator uses the bead breaker to release the tyre sidewalls from the rim flange.

The next phase involves positioning the mounting head and utilising the twin assist arms to depress the stiff tyre wall into the drop centre of the rim. By maintaining this pressure, the technician can easily swing the mounting arm into place. The final step sees the turntable rotate to guide the tyre bead off the rim effortlessly. Each movement is designed to be smooth and fluid, minimising the risk of accidental damage to the delicate alloy surfaces of the rim.

Ergonomic Health and Safety

Operating a tyre changer manually can be physically demanding for staff, often leading to fatigue or long-term musculoskeletal strain. This equipment addresses these health concerns by automating the most strenuous parts of the process. The twin assist arms perform the heavy lifting and pushing that would otherwise require significant manual force from the operator.

By automating these actions, workshops can create a safer environment for their team. Furthermore, the inclusion of an alloy wheel protection kit and protective plastic inserts for the mounting head ensures that the machine is as gentle on the customer property as it is effective. Reduced physical exertion means staff can maintain high performance levels throughout the day without the risk of injury associated with manual tyre manipulation.

Commercial ROI and Workshop Throughput

Investing in the right equipment is a strategic business decision that directly impacts the bottom line of any automotive centre. By reducing the time taken for every tyre change, this machine allows you to increase the number of vehicles serviced daily. Every minute saved per tyre is a minute that can be redirected toward additional revenue-generating tasks.

The ability to handle modern, difficult-to-fit tyres also means your garage can accept a wider range of customer vehicles without having to outsource complex jobs. This versatility prevents the loss of business to competitors. When you combine increased capacity with a reduction in labour costs and the elimination of accidental rim damage, the return on investment for this unit is rapid. It is a cost-effective entry-level solution that does not compromise on the professional standards your clients expect.

Versatility for Two-Wheeled Servicing

A major advantage of this machine is its adaptability. While it excels with standard car and van tyres, it can also transition to motorcycle tyre servicing. By utilising our Motorcycle Adaptors for Redback tyre changers, you can elevate the motorcycle wheel to the correct height for the mounting head. This ensures that the delicate beads of motorcycle tyres are treated with care during the fitting process.
