Over the past few years, tyre fitting technology has become increasingly automated, with leverless tyre changers emerging as a preferred solution across the automotive industry. Unlike traditional tyre changers that rely on manual tyre levers, leverless machines utilise an automated tool, often referred to as a “finger”, to perform the same function. This mechanism provides greater precision and significantly reduces the strain placed on both the tyre and wheel during fitting and removal.
Key Benefits of Leverless Tyre Changers:
Improved movement and rim protection. Leverless tyre changers use a controlled, automated movement that helps prevent contact between the tool and the wheel rim, significantly reducing the risk of scratches.
Reduced stress on the tyre. By using pneumatic power rather than manual leverage, leverless machines apply force more evenly across the tyre bead.
Enhanced safety. The automated operation reduces the need for physical exertion and manual tools, lowering the risk of operator injury.
Faster operation. Leverless technology streamlines the tyre changing process, allowing technicians to complete jobs more efficiently.
The Importance of Assist Arms with a Leverless Tyre Machine
An important feature of leverless tyre changing systems is the use of assist arms, sometimes called help arms. These pneumatic devices apply pressure to the tyre bead, pushing it into the wheel’s drop centre.
