    The crane, which measures 51x91inches and 72 inches high, disassembles for compact storage, has a long boom that allows for low pickup and high lifting and has an automatic bypass system to prevent damage from over pressure.

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.
