Rema Tip Top Offers Run-Flat Mounting Solutions

A full product range should include something for every requirement and budget, and Rema Tip Top reports that its workshop equipment line-up includes run-flat solutions spanning the spectrum from entry level to high end solutions that will keep even the most demanding workshop happy.

The Butler Topline tyre changer is a superb introductory machine, reports Rema Tip Top. It adds that this unit represents an intelligent evolution to the award winning Airdraulic and Aircombi tyre changers. One of the new standard features on the Topline is the ‘safety belt’, which has been developed to reduce the mounting stress particularly whilst fitting low profile, UHP and self supporting tyres, thus preventing damage to any part of the tyre or rim.

Changing Places

Working from a service van or trailer has been made easier by the introduction of Rema Tip Top’s Unimont truck tyre changer. Suitable for both fixed workshop or mobile service, the Unimont features a newly developed telescopic slide that enables mobile users to work outside their service vehicle and quickly and safely mount or demount tyres from 15 degree drop centre rims between 16.5 and 24.5 inches in size. And as a service van needs no special adaptation to accommodate the Unimont, the unit is truly is mobile and can be easily transferred from one vehicle to another.

Once familiar with the Unimont an operator can typically remove a truck tyre from its rim and replace it in under ten minutes, whether in the workshop or out on the road. In mobile operation it only takes a few seconds to position the unit outside the vehicle and a similar time to return the Unimont to its storage position. Following bead breaking via an electrically turned wheel the bead is dismounted through the bead-breaking cylinder in a one-step operation.
