Bead Press System
For Hunter TCX500, TCX525 & TCX550 Tire Changers

The Bead Press System speeds and eases clamping, lubricating, demounting and mounting the toughest wheel and tire combinations up to 28 inches in diameter. Patented design uniquely locates the pressing forces over the center of the wheel and tire to ensure maximum service strength and rigidity.

The rotating arm with single bead press roller can quickly be used for mounting and demounting stiff sidewall tires. The roller may be locked to hold the tire sidewall, which maintains traction during the mounting sequence.

Pneumatic wheel press cones and extension arm simplify external alloy wheel clamping when servicing low-profile tires.

Tapered rollers assist in bead lubrication and bead lever placement to ease demounting.

When combined with the rotating arm, the fixed bead press arm adds additional bead pressing force to service the most extreme low-profile tires and deep drop-center alloy wheels.

Bottom roller disc assists in reloosening tire beads and lifting the tire up the wheel barrel during demounting.

The Bead Press System is PAX tire system capable with the addition of an optional kit. (PAX bead rollers are attached to the BPS.) A center-shaft wheel clamping kit is also included.

PAX Upgrade Kit
Optional Accessory Kit speeds service on PAX System wheels and reduces chance of damage to wheel components (rim, tire, insert, valve, pressure transducer).
