The Hunter TC3500’s exclusive features operate in unison to easily and safely change the world’s toughest new performance tires and wheels. It is the professional’s “standard,” specified and field-proven by car and tire manufacturers, service shops and racing teams.

• Faster and easier to use than any other design.
• Unlike conventional rim clamp mounting arms, there is no swing arm obstruction when servicing extremely wide wheels and tires.
• No need to adjust the arm away from the wheel; the head follows the rim without damage even if the wheel is clamped off center.
• Exclusive polymer mount/demount head* removes the potential of steel head contact damage. Rides closer than steel head designs; reduces stress to tire and rim on low-profile tires.

Spring-loaded wheel centering support

• “Lifts” tire to assist the operator upon release. Helps prevent back injuries.


Exclusive “Tulip” wheel clamping system

• Rubber pad tulip clamping exerts uniform clamping strength – eliminates spinning and scoring damage to wheels.
• Soft grip clamping virtually eliminates alloy wheel damage inherent in steel jaw/table type or center post changers.
• Eliminates traditional table top designs that may act as a “launch pad” in case of tire failure.
• Easily adjusts for internal or external clamping of wheels up to 22” (optional kit extends clamping diameter to 24”).


Tilted ergonomic design for ease of operation

• Positions wheel at a consistent work height regardless of rim width.
• Allows unobstructed lower bead access for lubricating before tire removal.

Bottom bead lifter device attached to column

• Reloosens lower bead without tugging or pulling.
• No need to remove wheel from clamps and reuse bead loosener.


Smooth, powerful bead loosener

• Exclusively air motor driven to operate with total control.
• Eliminates the violent forces commonly associated with air cylinder operation when loads are applied and immediately released.

All functions driven by compressed air

• Reciprocating multi-piston air motor generates high torque and bi-directional 360° rotation.
• Requires no electric hookup and is extremely quiet.
• Variable speed operates up to 15 rpm in either direction.
• Cover and rubber bellows seal the motor, brake assembly and clamping arms against dirt, debris and moisture.

• The patented, wheel-centered Bead Press System aids in blocking and pressing stiff, low-profile tire beads into deep drop-center wheels.
• The BPS provides effortless assistance in mounting and demounting stiff sidewall tires and wheels up to 28” in diameter.

• The 220V, 1-phase, high-torque, drive system uses a 1-3 phase power inverter to drive a 220V, 3-phase motor. This unique system operates at a low speed with increased torque when servicing tough combinations and a faster rotational speed when required. An air-powered version is also available.

• Patented design saves time by eliminating repositioning.
• With the push of a single button, the swing arm locks the preset wheel diameter and width. Automatic swing-arm design does not require the extra space used by tilt-column tire changers.

Built for heavy use, this superior quality swing-arm tire changer is designed to easily service low-profile and run-flat tires mounted on large, custom alloy wheels up to 26”*. The TCX500 provides quick service of steel wheels, and its familiar design and conventional operation speed orientation and use.

• Traditional design uses simple intuitive mechanical operation.
• Column height and distance from table is optimized for large SUV and light-truck off-road tires.
