The Hofmann monty Swing Arm Tire Changer, No. 1675, features a compact design to handle passenger cars, light trucks, and high-performance wheel and tire assemblies.
“The ergonomic design and safety-enhancing features of the new Hofmann 1675 tire changer provides the user a safe workspace when changing a variety of tires,” said Adam Brown, director of product management for Hofmann. “The 1675 is easy to set up, simple to use, and offers a large range of capacity.”
The Hofmann swing-arm tire changer features the patented smartSpeed technology which automatically minimizes risk of damage to tires, according to the company. This technology also optimizes the torque applied to the wheel and automatically sets the maximum rotation speed of the wheel. The 1675 offers variable speeds from seven to 18 RPMs.
The monty 1675’s design, including machined shoes with cast jaws, makes for precise clamping. The pneumatic valves are simple to operate and offer functionality. An electric motor generates 1,200 Newton/meters (Nm) of torque to the tabletop.
Another feature of the Hofmann monty, No. 1675, is the bead breaker control that prevents the technician from having to straddle the assembly during bead breaking. An integrated pressure limiter helps stop air flow once pressure has reached 55 PSI, preventing accidental tire over-inflation.
