Tire Changers for Professional Auto Shops

A swing-arm tire changer uses a mount-demount head that swings horizontally out of the way to load a wheel, while a tilt-back tire changer pivots the entire tower backward at the push of a pedal so the head remembers its position between wheels. Tilt-back machines like the TC-890T speed up multi-wheel sets and reduce operator effort on stiff or low-profile sidewalls. Swing-arm models like the TC-880 and TC-890 save floor depth against shop walls.

Maximum tire diameter ranges from 37 in. (940 mm) on the motorcycle-dedicated TC-806M up to 42 in. (1,067 mm) on the heavy-duty TC-890T. Outside clamping ranges run from 10 to 28 in. across the automotive lineup, covering passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks. Check the clamping range on each spec sheet against the wheel sizes your shop services most.

Yes. All Daytona automotive tire changers deliver 2.75 tons (2,500 kg) of pneumatic bead-breaking force, and the TC-890 and TC-890T include oversized bead-seating air blasters and protective rim clamp shoes built specifically for stiff sidewalls, low-profile tires and chrome or alloy wheels.

Daytona automotive tire changers (TC-880, TC-890, TC-890T) run on standard 120V single-phase 60Hz power with a 1.5 HP motor on a 20A circuit, plus shop air for the pneumatic bead breaker and inflation jets. The TC-806M motorcycle changer runs on 110V/220V. An air lubricator, filter, water trap and regulator come included.

Yes. A tire changer mounts and demounts the tire on the rim, while a balancer spins the assembly to eliminate vibration. Most repair shops pair their changer with a matching Daytona wheel balancer for a complete tire and wheel bay.

The TC-890T is Daytona’s flagship heavy-duty tilt-back tire changer. Its pneumatic tilting column, pneumatic locking system and 42 in. max tire capacity cut setup time between wheels and reduce technician fatigue in high-throughput bays.

Yes. The TC-806M is a dedicated motorcycle tire changer with elevated jaws designed for delicate alloy motorcycle rims. It supports a 6 to 24 in. clamping range, 3 to 12 in. rim widths and 2,500 kg (5,500 lb) of bead-breaking force.
