TC3500 Features

* Polymer mount/demount head is a wearing component designed to protect tire and rim.

 
Floating 3-point Articulating Mounting Arm
  • Faster and easier to use than any other design.
  • Unlike conventional rim clamp mounting arms, there is no swing arm obstruction when servicing extremely wide wheels and tires.
  • No need to adjust the arm away from the wheel. The head follows rims without damage even when the wheel is clamped off-center.
  • Exclusive polymer mount/demount head* removes the potential of steel-head-contact damage, rides closer than steel-head designs and reduces stress to beads on low-profile tires.
  • Force Multiplier helps with mounting and demounting low-profile tires.
  • Mechanical bead pusher is great for handling stiff, low-profile tires.
 
Spring-Loaded Wheel Centering Support
Spring-Loaded Wheel Centering Support
  • Work surface remains at consistent height regardless of rim width.
  • “Lifts” tire to the operator upon release. Helps prevent back injury.
  • Quick Disconnect Center Support is easily removable, allowing the option of adding a Quick Disconnect Center Shaft and other accessories for additional wheel clamping and operator capabilities.
 
Exclusive “Tulip” Wheel Clamping System
Exclusive “Tulip” Wheel Clamping System
  • Allows wheel to move in unison with hydraulic roller forces without risk of bending or damaging rim.
  • Eliminates steel-jaw clamping, which can damage the surface of exotic wheels.
  • Clamping arms, brake and motor are sealed against dirt, debris and moisture.
  • Eliminates traditional table designs that may act as a “launch pad” in case of tire failure.
  • Standard Wheel Extension Kit easily adjusts for internal or external clamping of wheels up to 26 inches.
 
Exclusive Hydraulic Bead Roller System Aids Mounting, Demounting and Ultra-High-Performance Bead Loosening
Exclusive Hydraulic Bead Roller System Aids Mounting, Demounting and Ultra-High-Performance Bead Loosening
  • Safely and easily handles ultra-low-profile tires, rim protection sidewalls, EMT Goodyear, Michelin and Bridgestone runflat designs.
  • Easily rolls the tire off or on the rim while reducing the potential for damage.
 
Simple Two-Finger Controller
Simple Two-Finger Controller
  • Air-over-hydraulic two-stage system allows fast positioning and operation of both upper and lower bead rollers.
 
Tilted Ergonomic Design for Ease of Operation
Tilted Ergonomic Design for Ease of Operation
  • Allows unobstructed lower bead access for lubricating before tire removal.
  • Complete operation, including bead loosening, can be performed from one position, saving time and physical energy. Requires no bending over for bead loosening.
All Functions Driven by Compressed Air
  • Reciprocating multi-piston air motor generates high torque and bi-directional 360° rotation, requires no electric hookup and is extremely quiet.
  • Variable speed operation up to 15 rpm in either direction.
  • Cover and rubber bellows seal the motor, brake assembly and clamping arms against dirt, debris and moisture.
Side Shovel Bead Loosener
  • Saves time by simplifying the procedural steps required when servicing reverse drop-center wheels.
  • Side shovel bead loosener allows servicing niche applications such as motorcycle and ATV tire/wheel assemblies.
  • Ease of use and common familiarity assists inexperienced operators until they can get up to speed using the bead roller assembly on high-performance applications.
