Essential Tyre Changer Routine Maintenance Tips For Garages

Undoubtedly one of the most commonly asked questions put to us, the ‘how do I look after my Giuliano Tyre Machine’ request is one we actually love to answer. In any garage, it is a very real but very unfortunate fact that the tyre fitting machine can be the least considered item of equipment when it comes to love and care.

Lifts are a bit more ‘in your face’; you are working under them, there is more of an onus in terms of insurance and Health and Safety, and people just seem more conscious of the need to service vehicle lifts. Similarly, diagnostics products often have to be routinely looked at because maybe they are an MOT item like a gas analyser, or need regular updates and/or calibration. A tyre machine, however, can all too often be neglected.

Choosing The Right Tyre Changer

Over the years, we have seen a zillion articles advising how best to determine the ‘right type of tyre changer for you’. These articles can range from semi-useful, to just a re-hashed montage of product leaflets blurb that verges on embarrassing to anyone who is on so much as nodding terms with tyre and wheel service equipment. Our approach to this is completely different. We could write about the various types of style of tyre machine; such as swing arm, tilt back or, the latest generation, Par-Move. Or we could discuss the obvious ones such as clamping capability (does anyone actually need to be told that if they want to change 22” rims, then they will need a tyre fitting machine capable of handling 22” rims?? Come on….).
