Du Quesne To Debut Tyre Changer At Equip'Auto

For years, the DQN – Du Quesne Pro-Fit tyre changer has been the machine of choice for thousands of tyre professionals around the world; not only for the mounting/dismounting of standard tyres, but also for low-profile and RunFlat products. Nevertheless, the continuous evolution in tyre technology has prompted DQN – Du Quesne to expand its product range with a new model of tyre changer: the Opti-Fit, which will make its world debut at the forthcoming 2009 Equip’Auto fair. The fair runs from 13th to 16th October.

The major features of the Opti-Fit are its improved structural rigidity, enhancing its resistance to the tensions resulting from the dis-/mounting of today's hardest tyre types, as well as its ability to deal with even wider tyre sizes. In addition, the Opti-Fit has been designed to further simplify the handling related to dis-/mounting operation, while still keeping a literal 'hands-on' approach to tyre changing. This approach has been followed by the DQN – Du Quesne family business, since it was founded by Victor du Quesne in 1929, exactly 80 years ago.
