Hunter Engineering Co. announced the launch of its latest family of center-clamp tire changer models, the TC37 and TC39. Both models take aim at the growing segment of mid-range center-clamp tire changers, according to the manufacturer. The TC37 has been redesigned from the ground up from the venerable TC3700, TC3500 and TC350 series, but introduces as a completely new, modern platform. The TC37 offers the traditional polymer mount head that protects rim and tire, and a vertical locking head that protects wheel face.
Hunter’s cutting-edge TC39 features a powerful and easy to use leverless demount head, the company stated. The self inserting polymer leverless head is the same design as Hunter’s Auto34.
Both models feature a simple to use single pendant control, a bead press arm, two bead loosening rollers with direct indention, and powerful variable-speed drive as standard equipment. The new family of center-clamp tire changer models have an optional side shovel feature for quick and easy bead breaking on standard tires, Hunter said. Another popular option is a wheel lift which eases operator fatigue with today’s ever-changing population of large and heavy tires.
