The thing that most distinguishes the Tuxedo TC-770-T from a car changer is not its size, it is that the controls live on a \u003cstrong\u003emovable stand\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than on the machine body. The operator drives the chuck, the bead breaker and the mount\/demount arm while standing where they choose to stand — off to the side, out of the plane of the rim, at a distance they judge for the wheel in front of them. On earth-mover and tractor rubber, that is worth more than any convenience feature on the spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBehind it sits a \u003cstrong\u003efour-jaw rotating chuck with two speeds\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003epressure-regulated hydraulic pump\u003c\/strong\u003e. The four jaws grip the rim from the centre and turn it; the two speeds let you creep the wheel through the difficult part of a bead and then wind it round quickly when nothing is fighting you. Regulated hydraulic pressure is what keeps a tool that can generate enormous force from simply crushing an alloy or agricultural rim when the operator asks for more than the rim can take.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill it work in your bay?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree practical checks before you order, all of them yours to make.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePower.\u003c\/strong\u003e The machine runs on 220V, single phase, on a 20 Amp supply. Confirm the circuit with an electrician before delivery rather than after — this is not a machine to run from a temporary connection.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor space and approach.\u003c\/strong\u003e You need room for the machine, room for the control stand to be positioned away from it, and — the part that catches people out — room to roll a commercial wheel to the chuck and lay it down. Plan the path, not just the footprint.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWeight and floor.\u003c\/strong\u003e The machine has real mass; it ships at 1,690 lbs. Check that the floor and the route to its final position will take it, and that a pallet truck can actually get there.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTwo speeds, and why the slow one is the one that matters\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpeed on a tyre changer is not about doing the job faster. The fast speed is for spinning a free wheel round to the next working position; the slow speed is for the moment when the bead is under the tool and the tyre is trying to move somewhere you have not asked it to go. Having a genuinely slow rotation available means the operator can watch the bead and stop, rather than committing to a fast rotation and hoping. On stiff commercial sidewalls, that control is the difference between a clean demount and a damaged bead seat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe mount\/demount arm is a quick-change design, so swapping the tool for a different wheel type is a short job rather than a reason to avoid taking on unusual work. The hydraulic pump doing the pushing is pressure-regulated, which is what allows the same machine to handle a light truck rim and something far heavier without the operator having to modulate force by feel alone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat it is built to handle\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a changer for wheels from most trucks, tractors and earth movers, with an inside rim clamp range of 14″ to 26″. That clamp range is the specification to check first against the wheels you actually service, because it is the one that decides whether a given rim can be held at all — diameter and width limits only matter once the chuck can grip it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect for\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCommercial truck and trailer service\u003c\/strong\u003e — the daily bread of a machine like this.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgricultural dealers and repair shops\u003c\/strong\u003e handling tractor and implement rubber that a car changer will not touch.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePlant, quarry and construction fleets\u003c\/strong\u003e where earth-mover wheels are otherwise a subcontracted job with a call-out charge attached.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMixed fleet workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e that want one machine covering the heavy end of the range in house.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTyre specialists expanding out of car work\u003c\/strong\u003e and needing the chuck-style machine that commercial rims require.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe changer with its four-jaw rotating chuck, the pressure-regulated hydraulic pump, the quick-change mount\/demount arm and the control unit on its movable stand.

The distinction is worth being clear about: a manufacturer stating that a machine is built to a standard is not the same document as an outside body having examined and listed it, and insurers, corporate safety policies and some local jurisdictions ask specifically for the second. If any of those govern your workshop, get the requirement in writing from whoever imposes it and send it to us before you order — we would much rather answer that in advance than have equipment arrive that your inspection will not accept.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eShipped by freight within the lower 48, with the cost quoted live at checkout for your address rather than from a stale figure in a description. You will need to unload it — a forklift with the capacity for it, or a dock — or you can choose to collect from the carrier's local terminal instead. A residential address carries a residential fee, disclosed before you pay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect the machine on the tailgate before you sign for it. Look for shifted or cut banding, crushed packaging, bent guarding and hydraulic weeping, write anything you find on the delivery receipt, photograph it, and contact us the same day.

If a warranty term is material to your decision, ask us to confirm it in writing before you order. If a fault does appear, photograph it as found and speak to us before dismantling anything: a component already taken apart is usually outside the claim, and that is an avoidable way to lose one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-details-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-details-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-details-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-details-item\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFour jaw rotating chuck with two speeds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControl unit on moveable stand\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePressure regulated hydraulic pump\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuick change mount \/ demount arm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHandles wheels for most trucks, tractors and earth movers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-spec-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-spec-item\"\u003e \u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eTire Changer Model\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003eTC-770-T\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eMax Wheel Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e64.5”\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eWheel Width\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e31.5”\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eInside – Rim Clamp Range\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e14” – 26”\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e220V – 20 Amp – 1PH\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" width=\"50%\"\u003eShip Weight\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"right\" width=\"50%\"\u003e1,690 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003ePick Up and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-pickupdelivry-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-pickupdelivry-item\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur Pick Up locations for Valor, Tuxedo, iDeal are located in Temecula, California - Orlando, Florida - Norcross, Georgia - Elwood, Indiana - St. Cloud, Minnesota - Reidsville, NC - Pottsville, Pennsylvania - Alvarado, Texas - West Valley City, Utah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCall, text, or chat with us if you have questions. 866-774-7743\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-downloads-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-downloads-container\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tuxedo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49287151648922,"sku":"TC-770-T","price":5745.6,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/coretarps.co.uk\/products\/tuxedo-tc-770-t-tire-changer","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
