M350 tyre changer is the only machine dedicated for motorcycle use
M350 Tyre Changer Package £1895+VAT
The M350 is the latest in this popular series of machine, and is the only machine on the market designed specifically for the motorcycle market. All too often, dealers are struggling with equipment which has been made for automotive use and has been poorly adapted.
Buying an M350 ensures a premium professional product, manufactured in Italy to the highest standards. The machine has evolved over 20 years and each feature has been refined for the needs of the motorcycle dealer.
Table and jaws
M350 features a dedicated motorcycle table for clamping wheels from 6” up to 23” with ease. Car machines typically have an integral steel jaw clamp right at the surface of the table which is of no use for motorcycles. Jaws at this height do not allow clearance for brake discs and sprocket carriers, and the steel jaw will damage the rim.
The M350 table has sliders with quick release pins that enable you to effortlessly move the jaw clamps in or out to the desired clamping range. The jaw inner and outer surfaces are all plastic covered, to ensure the rims are never at risk of damage.
Also to help with those trickier tyres, the motorised table can be turned in reverse when required using the pedal control.
Fitting head
The fitting head for a 17” car rim is very similar to one for a motorcycle wheel. The key benefit of the M350 is the quick release fitting head, as it can be very difficult to change smaller scooter or larger off-road tyres with a ‘one size fits all’ fitting head.
The M350 fitting head is attached with a quick release chuck and can be swapped in seconds, allowing you to change wheels of any size without fighting the tyre or risking damage. All our steel fitting heads include plastic inserts at the likely contact points.
Bead breaker
The M350 bead breaker blade is supplied with a plastic cover for extra protection, and although most tyres can be unseated with the large universal bead breaker blade, we do have an optional smaller size available if you are working exclusively on smaller wheels.
Optional assist arm £750+VAT
Some modern motorcycle tyres are becoming extremely hard to fit, even with a tyre changer. This can be due to the shape and composition of certain tyres and/or the shape of the wheel rim. For busy tyre bays, we recommend a pneumatic Assist / Help Arm which makes even the hardest tyres easy to fit and remove.
The Assist Arm features a reversible hard plastic head on a multi-jointed arm which can be pneumatically lowered to assist with the fitment and removal of tyres. The configuration allows the head to follow the tyre round acting as a third hand. Additionally, a roller on a second arm is used to support the tyre during the removal process.
This arm is designed to directly fit onto our M300 to M650 Tyre Changers – it is easy to retrofit to your existing machine or we can supply a new M350 prefitted with the assist Arm. Additionally the Assist Arm can be fitted to other machines with few modifications.
