Yes, that's exactly what they're made for. A semi-automatic tire changer with a pneumatic auxiliary arm is the minimum requirement to mount stiff tire sidewalls of run-flat (RFT) or ultra-high-performance (UHP) tires safely and without damage.

Your entry into the professional league
The wheel changing season is just around the corner and you are looking for a solution to handle the rush more efficiently, professionally and with less effort?

We combine powerful tire changers, precise balancing machines and ergonomic wheel lifts into an unbeatable package for you. Increase your efficiency, protect your back and provide your customers with perfect results - with every bike.
For whom is a semi-automatic workplace ideal?
A semi-automatic tire service is considered the perfect entry into the professional league. But is he also the right one for you? The answer is a clear yes if you want to master the balancing act between pure manual work and a fully automatic system. Regardless of whether you are the operator of a small or medium-sized vehicle workshop and want to professionalize your tire service and handle seasonal order peaks with less stress, are setting up your own tire service and are looking for initial equipment that is a safe investment, or are an ambitious mechanic who does not want to compromise on quality in your private workshop - a semi-automatic workplace is the golden mean for more efficiency and professionalism.
The tire changer:
The heart. Semi-automatic models often have a pneumatic auxiliary arm (assembly aid) that makes it much easier for you to push, hold down and mount stiff low-profile or run-flat tires. You guide the assembly head manually while the machine does the power work.
The tire balancing machine:
Precision is everything. Modern digital balancing machines guide you through the balancing process, show you exactly the position and weight of the required counterweights and thus guarantee a smooth ride for your customers.
The wheel lift:
Your best colleague. The constant lifting of heavy SUV or van wheels is an enormous burden. A mobile wheel lift lifts the wheels effortlessly and safely to the perfect working height for the balancing or mounting machine. This not only increases occupational safety, but also your endurance throughout the day.To find the perfect package for you, pay attention to the following points:
On the tire changer:
Up to what maximum rim size (inches) do you want to work? Is an auxiliary arm for run-flat tires a must for you? How much space do you have available?
On the balancing machine:
What maximum wheel weight and wheel diameter must the machine be able to accommodate? Would you like the bike data to be automatically transferred for even more convenience?
At the bike lift:
What load capacity is required? Does the maximum lifting height match your other machines?
Frequently asked questions
What does "semi-automatic" mean on a tire changer?
It means you manually guide the mounting head while the machine does the heavy lifting: clamping the rim, turning, and forcefully pushing the tire off the rim flange. Often you will be supported by a pneumatic auxiliary arm.
What rim size (inches) are the machines designed up to?
Most of
our semi-automatic models are designed for the most common car and SUV wheels, covering a range up to 24 inches or more. Pay attention to the exact specifications of each model to make sure it fits your vehicle mix.
How accurate are the balancing machines?
Very precise. Our digital balancing machines work with a measuring accuracy of +/- 1 gram. This guarantees perfect smoothness and prevents vibrations on the steering wheel, which leads to satisfied customers.
Is a wheel lift really necessary?
It's not mandatory, but it's one of the best investments in your health and efficiency. Repeatedly lifting heavy SUV or e-car wheels (often 25-30 kg) is an enormous burden. A wheel lift effortlessly brings the wheels to the perfect working height and makes you much faster and more enduring.
How much space do I need to plan for a complete workstation?
As a rule of thumb, you should plan for an area of about 3x4 meters. This gives you enough space to operate the machines safely and work comfortably around the vehicle and wheels.
What power connection do the machines need (230V or 400V)?
Most machines for the semi-automatic range are flexible and designed for a standard 230V connection. Some more powerful mounters may require a 400V connection. In addition, a compressed air connection (approx. 8-10 bar) is always required.
Do I need a special foundation or floor?
No, that's a big advantage. A normal, flat and solid concrete workshop floor is perfectly sufficient for the installation of the machines. They are usually anchored to the ground with screws to ensure a secure footing.
How much time do I save per wheel change compared to manual assembly?
Experienced users can complete a complete wheel change (disassembly, assembly, balancing) in 10-15 minutes with a semi-automatic workstation. It often takes twice as long by hand and is much more strenuous.
Yes, because the investment pays off not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of the quality of your work and the protection of your health. You can offer a more professional service and avoid damage to expensive rims.
All our machines are CE certified. These include emergency stop switches, protective covers for moving parts, overload valves and, in the case of balancing machines, a protective cover that often only allows the start when the vehicle is closed.
Yes. For many of our tire changers and balancing machines, special adapters for motorcycle wheels are available. This allows you to flexibly expand your range of services and also serve two-wheeler customers.
