K Snap-on Sun Tech Systems has three new semi-automatic tyre changers for the medium to heavy duty truck market.
The SIC 6000 is designed to handle tubeless tyres with steel or aluminium rims and can be mounted in the back of a service vehicle; the SIC 7000 is designed for 110 Vs with 14 or 16in tyres, with or without tubes. It also features a neat tool for bead-breaking, tyre mounting and dismounting.
Topping the range is the SIC 8000: an .. electro-hydraulic tyre changer for heavy 1113 Vs and earth movers with wheel rims from 14-56in.
This model has a 2.5hp twospeed chuck motor and an innovative disc tilt system with more than 10 tonnes of bead breaking pressure. Like the SIC 7000, it is designed to avoid damaging aluminium wheels. Con:an Colin Nutt on 01536 413800.
