Today, any busy, modernized auto shop that has a large volume of business understands the necessity of having tools to assist you in the type of work you are doing. A particular type of auto shop is one that changes tires. Depending on the type of tires you will be working on, you can determine what type of tools you will need to have on hand. For smaller cars and trucks, you can do fine using lower volume tools. On the other hand, for those larger trucks and cars, you will need a tool that can manage higher volume vehicles.

For such larger vehicles, one tool that would do you some good in terms of proper assistance and ability to handle larger vehicles is a high volume air rim clamp tire changer with extended clamps. The large title is suitable for all the range of use this machine offers. First of all, what is this machine all about?

Let us break the title of this machine apart into smaller pieces to understand what each aspect of this heavy duty machine is all about, and how each part works together. An air rim clamp tire changer is basically a tire changer that uses a pressurized system to fill a tire that is mounted on a wheel with air. Most models consist of four components- an air hose, air inflation gauge, inflation pedal and a manual pressure bleed valve. An air hose is the housing for the air to flow through, and it has a specialized end to clamp firmly onto the valve systems of the wheels.

The inflation gauge tells you exactly how much air is in the tire, and will displays this via the hose being connected to the valve system. The pressurized air is calculated using the pounds per square inch measuring method (psi). Right below the air hose on the tire changer is the inflation pedal, which allows the air to flow through the hose to fill the tire with air. When the pedal is lifted, a burst of air is released from valves beside each rim clamp toward the bottom bead of the tire to assist with inflation.

The manual bleed valve is found right next to the air hose and air inflation gauge. The manual bleed valve function is to allow the manual release of air pressure directly from the tire itself.

Rim clamps are what they sound- they hold down the wheel in order to mount or dismount the tire. They also have the ability to rotate the tire as well, allowing easy maneuvering. there is a tabletop component of some kind to set the tire on top of, and allows the turning of the wheel.

What makes a high volume air rim clamp tire changer with extended clamps different than what is described above? The high volume is the first notable aspect of this machine. It is able to service a very broad range of vehicles- small, large, heavy and heavier. This is beneficial to you because you are given the opportunity to broaden your business by servicing many different vehicles, rather than just one type.

The other feature this specific tire changer offers is the extended clamps feature. These clamps basically have a longer reaching ability, able to change those difficult or delicate tires. It is merely an additional feature that helps you to change tires more easily and efficiently, and there is no arguing with that!

The key feature that you want to keep in mind when considering a high volume air rim clamp tire changer with extended clamps is that it is built to mainly convenience you, the operator. The extra features give you extra assistance to boost both your abilities and your efficiency.
