Guide to Choosing a Tyre Machine and Balancer Package

Tyre Changers

As part of a Tyre Machine and Balancer Package, one of the main components is of course the tyre-changing machine. These come in various types, and the primary ones you will come across are listed below:

Manual Tyre Changers: Manual tyre changers are the cheapest, most basic type of tyre changers. They consist of a base, a spindle, and a tyre mounting tool. The spindle is used to mount the tyre, and the mounting tool is used to separate the tyre from the rim

Semi-Automatic Tyre Changers: A step up from manual tyre changers. Semi-automatic tyre changes feature a motorised spindle that makes it easier to mount and dismount tyres. These also usually feature a bead breaker to assist in the removal of the tyre

Fully Automatic Tyre Changers: The most advanced type of tyre changers. These are fully motorised and require little physical effort to operate. Fully automatic tyre changers can mount and dismount tyres very quickly and efficiently, and are great for frequent use in tyre shops or garages

Mobile tyre changers: These are equipped with all the same features as static tyre changers to mount and dismount tyres quickly, but designed to be fitted in a tyre fitters van and powered via the vehicle battery via an electrical inverter and split charging system

Wheel Balancers

The other key component to a Tyre Changing Packages is a wheel balancing machine, and there are 2 main types of wheel balancers:

Static Wheel Balancers: These are simple manual, non-automated devices for balancing the wheels of a vehicle, for hobbyists and very occasional users, these are the cheapest option

Dynamic Wheel Balancers: These are an automatic version of the device for balancing the wheels of a vehicle, with many more features to make the task of balancing wheels much less labour-intensive and faster. Within the dynamic wheel balancer range, there are 2 sub-types of wheel balancing machines, these are:

Semi-automatic wheel balancers: These are electronically powered devices, but need to have information about the wheel width, offset and wheel rim diameter entered by hand using the keypad on the top of the machine
Fully-automatic wheel balancers: These balancing machines automatically capture the wheel data from measuring tools within the wheel balancer and often the hood of the machine also
