Wheel preparation

What cannot be automated is made ergonomic.

Kerb damage is removed with a drill, angle grinder and abrasives. That remains manual work. The workstation for it can be optimised: the MW-RT1 turntable holds the wheel at working height and rotates it via foot pedal, and the MW-TM1 fits tyres without scratches.

  • 11–26"external clamping range MW-RT1
  • 800 mmworking height of the turntable
  • up to 28"tyre fitting on the MW-TM1

Preparation turntable MW-RT1

The MW-RT1 is derived from the principle of a tyre changer: external clamping, foot pedal for both directions of rotation. We have dispensed with expensive functions that are unnecessary here, such as the mounting arm. The result is a turntable at a fraction of the cost, with a back-friendly working height, ideal for wheel repair and pre-treatment under rotation.

  • Clamp wheels up to 26 inch externally
  • Clockwise and anticlockwise rotation, clamping and unclamping via foot pedal
  • Optimised working height for back-friendly work

Tyre fitting after wheel refurbishment

After refinishing or repairing a wheel, tyre fitting decides the result: gentle removal and fitting is a must. The MW-TM1 handles all tyre types up to 28 inch, run-flat tyres and very wide low-profile tyres. The self-centring clamping system with replaceable protective sleeves and the plastic sliders protect the freshly coated surface.
