Tire changer
Hunter Engineering Co. has introduced a 3-point articulating mounting arm on its TC325 Euro-style tire changer that requires no locking and offers no obstruction when mounting wide tires.

The ``Tulip'' clamping system exerts uniform force and an air motor drive provides control for the bead breaker. An adjustable, removable wheel support holds the wheel during positioning, adjusts to desired work height and lifts the tire to the operator upon release.
All functions are driven by compressed air without the need for electric hookup.
