The practical pneumatic bead assist device is an indespensable accessory for mounting and demounting tyres which are difficult to handle, such as low profile tyres and run flat tyre systems. It is an optimum complement to the tyre changer.
The pneumatic bead assist device is extremely rugged and specially suited for hard tyres due to its strong cylinder.
It is standard equipment on wdk-certified tyre changers T plus.- Bead breaking with the optional bead breaker disc is done dynamically during rotation of the turntable, thus preserving rim and tyre.
- The tyre bead is pressed into the drop centre of the rim by means of a roller so that the mounting head can be positioned on the rim both easily and gently.
- During the demounting operation the bead depressor presses the upper bead into the drop centre of the rim so that it can be easily levered over the mounting head nose and finally demounted without any effort.
- During the mounting operation of the upper bead the roller retains the bead under the mounting head nose. The practical bead depressor follows rotation of the wheel, doing the otherwise tedious job of the operator, while preserving both tyre and rim.
- The pneumatic bead assist device can be easily fitted by the customer.
- It is an option on T3000-20, T3000M, T4500-24 and T5000-24, but comes standard with the wdk-certified tyre changers T plus and T6000.
