Is the End of the Manual Tyre Changer Nigh?

In an ever-changing world of innovation where speed and practicality of garage equipment are paramount, garage owners and mechanics alike are turning to more automated solutions for tyre fitting, leaving the manual equivalents in the dust.

The rise of the automatic tyre changer and semi-automatic tyre changer have completely changed the way tyre fitting professionals operate.

Here are just a few reasons why you should consider ditching your manual tyre changer in exchange for a more modern, semi-automatic or fully automatic equivalent.

Why choose a fast fit machine?

Due to incredible developments within the industry, you’d be hard pushed to find a manual tyre changer in any fast fit tyre shop these days.

Ease of use, speed and the ability to perform more precise tyre changing makes semi-auto and full auto machines an obvious choice over more traditional manual alternatives. Tyre fitting machines are far more feature rich now, meaning outstanding speed, ergonomic design, a lower footprint and more is achievable.

What it all boils down to is this: with a fast fit machine, you’ll be able to serve more customers in less time… and it doesn’t take a genius to work out what impact this might have on your bottom line.

Further sealing the deal is the fact that, due to the prevalence of fast fit machines, they’re now more affordable than ever. Prices for our range of Redback semi auto machines start at just £780 excluding VAT!

Semi-automatic or fully automatic?

With ever so slight differences in semi-automatic tyre changers and fully automatic tyre changers, it can be difficult to distinguish which machine is right for your services.

Not only do you have to consider the correct machine, model and features for your services, but consider your own budget as well. What’s clear even for the smallest of garages changing the lowest number of tyres is that a manual tyre changer can no longer deliver the quality needed.

What’s more, modern tyres with slicker profiles and run-flat capabilities have meant the need for smarter methods, only offered conveniently in these newer machines.

There is always something within our range that suits every budget and garage’s need!

Why choose an automatic machine over a manual one?

We are living in a world where technological advancements that save users time and money are at the forefront of developers’ minds. Trying to make the lives of business owners easier whilst producing greater results drives innovation. Vehicle tyre changers are no exception to these advancements. The obvious two advantages to automatic machines are:

Saves time

Instead of spending hours demounting and mounting a tyre with your hands, spend only a few minutes changing the tyres of multiple cars!

The task of changing a tyre by hand is not an easy one, especially not when there is such an easy alternative. An automatic tyre changer is more expensive, however you could increase the efficiency of your garage tyre changing services massively, growing productivity and your revenue. This alone means the machine will easily provide a decent return on investment.

Saves energy

As the automatic tyre changer is much more user friendly and convenient to use than a manual tyre changer, it requires less hard work from your team, allowing them to get through more work each day! This makes it easier to grow your team of fitters who are excited to use the latest equipment.

In conclusion…

A manual tyre changer is much cheaper than an automatic machine but requires more physical resources to complete your garage services. If you do so smartly, investing in a good automatic or even semi-automatic tyre changer can save you a lot of time, energy and money in the long run!

We always have great deals on pre-owned or ex-display machines too, allowing you to save even more!
