The ethos behind the Sbacy was simple; design a tyre changer that can provide the best coverage, including the most exotic rims and toughest tyres, using the smallest possible footprint, height and weight combination. If we could achieve that, we knew we had a market leading solution to mobile tyre fitting limitations on our hands.

The spelling, using the ‘b’ as opposed to the conventional ‘p’, is a nod to the legacy of this machine, being designed for the famous Balco brand who, employing the assistance of real-life mobile tyre technicians to work with the Giuliano R&D team, came up with a tyre changer that we feel has broken the mould. The Sbacy can clamp rims up to 26” diameter (24” external) and 15” wide. The impressive rim width capability means removing the bottom bead on really wide tyres is no longer a problem, and the array of assist arm options means that tailoring the Sbacy to suit your van layout is easy and convenient. Being in a van doesn’t compromise this machine in any way, as the Sbacy still employs the famous Power X turntable and comes with leverless operation as standard (traditional levered version also available upon request). Depending upon the configuration, the Sbacy can use a modest footprint and height of just 1300mm deep x 1140mm wide x 1900mm high. Even ‘fully loaded’, with both SP1 and SP2 arms, the width requirement only increases to a reasonable 1500mm.
