The Super R68 automatic tyre changer from Repco is capable of dealing with most light commercial vehicle wheels of 9 in to 18 in diameter.
Once the wheel is removed from the vehicle, a pneumatic bead breaker separates the tyres and the rim, even when rims are rusted. The wheel and loosened tyre are automatically clamped on a revolving platform and a manually operated lever removes the tyre.
The process of placing the new tyre on the wheel is claimed to be equally simple. The machine carries an automatic tyre inflator, which is marked in pounds and kilos.
