The "Third Hand" for Tire Changers: Extra Help with Tire Mounting

Imagine your customers are working with challenging tires, like run-flats or low-profile tires. Demounting them from the rim can be a real struggle! Their stiff sidewalls make the job significantly harder. Your customers might be expending a lot of effort, losing time, and even risking damage.

What kind of damage?

For instance, they could damage the tire or scratch the rim. It can happen to anyone. Why risk it when a wheel and tire assembly can cost thousands?

That's precisely why solutions like the "third hand" for tire changers were developed. Please note: It is not a good idea to recommend the "third hand" as a replacement for real third hand arms. Do not expect that the clamp ever replaces it. 

However, in a pinch, this manual tire press can significantly simplify the process! For example, if the main station with a run-flat/low-profile tire changer is occupied, and your customer needs to quickly demount such a tire.

How Does the "Third Hand" for Tire Changers Work?

Let's describe it using the REDATS Standard press as an example. First, the lever is lifted, the tool is placed on the rim, and then the press lock is released. This action causes the manual tire press to seat the tire below the rim. Your customer can then begin rotating the machine's mounting table.

When the tire is pressed with the handle, there's no risk of it popping back over the rim's edge. At this point, your customer can begin mounting the tire at the opposite point.

Benefits of Using a Third Hand Clamps in the Tire Mounting Process

Let's be frank: the "third hand" for tire changers is simply useful. It's a clever tool, a helping hand for exceptionally difficult tires.

This tool will primarily save your customers a lot of time. They probably know how time-consuming it can be to "break" a difficult tire off the rim. Why risk it when they have the right tools?

Another point: Not every tire changer has an auxiliary arm for low-profile or run-flat tires. For example, if your customer has an additional service bay that's only used during peak season, it might house a simpler tire changing machine. But suddenly, their main service bay is occupied, and a vehicle with such tires arrives.

Of course, they can't serve every customer and vehicle, but sometimes it's a shame to lose money due to the lack of such an add-on!

The "third hand" for tire changers can be invaluable in such situations. It costs little but can significantly ease the process. Moreover, this tool is completely safe for rims, including very delicate aluminum wheels. So, there's no concern about scratches, dents, or other such problems.

The "third hand" for tire changers also takes up minimal space; your customers can store it anywhere in their tire service shop. They can keep it near the tire changer or even in the back and retrieve it when needed.

Every "third hand" tire press is made from durable composite. This ensures it won't be damaged even during intensive use in a tire shop.
