Hunter Engineering Co. has introduced its new TCX53Pro tire changer, matching the class-leading TCXH chassis with the power and safety of Hunter’s exclusive hybrid leverless head.
Designed with a swing-arm format, the 53Pro also includes a locking lower disc and dual upper press rollers, equipping it to handle a range from 19.5s to advanced electric vehicle fitments.
The tilting lip of the hybrid leverless tool head keeps the bead in position during demount, while the rounded profile helps reduce tire damage risk. The polymer winged head doesn’t require protective inserts, and the wing feature keeps beads in position during mount.
This combination of features enables the 53Pro to change advanced tire and wheel assemblies, such as performance OE cars, trucks and SUVs. The locking lower arm eases demount of heavy, stiff or wide tires. The upper roller can lock or freewheel, assisting in all situations.
The table-top changer provides a clamping range of 10 to 28 inches and includes a PowerOut bead breaker and 220V two-speed rotation.
“The new TCX53Pro is a unique combination of premium features in a time-tested, familiar format,” says Jim Hudson, product manager for tire changers at Hunter.
“The hybrid head and lower locking disc make it much easier and safer to change tough tires on a simple, rugged swing arm tire changer.”
