• The fully automatic Monty 42 tyre changer from Hofmann Balancing Techniques has been designed to make light work of the heaviest wheels. The wheel is simply rolled onto a sliding table which holds it secure with four clamping jaws. The chuck itself can be raised or lowered, depending on the wheel diameter, and when locked into position, will rotate the wheel forwards or backwards at fast or low speed. The air-operated bead-break shovel takes only a few moments to detach the tyre from the rim, and the whole changing operation can be completed with a minimum of manual effort.
The Monty 42 will remove and replace tyres up to 82 inches in diameter from rims as large as 42 inches. This makes it suitable not only for commercials but for earthmovers and large construction vehicles too. Hofmann Balancing Techniques
