Run-Flat Tyres Editorial For Tyre Trade News

RUN-FLAT TYRES EDITORIAL FOR TYRE TRADE NEWS MAY 2015 EDITION
Run-flat tyres can be a real test in workshops today but the HOFMANN range of garage equipment,
famous worldwide for its outstanding quality, is designed to handle the demands of busy tyre shops
without compromising on durability or ease of use.
The practical pneumatic mounting tool, easymont PRO, is an indispensable accessory for mounting
and demounting difficult-to-handle tyres.
With its strong cylinder and extremely rugged build, easymont PRO – particularly in combination
with the Plus Kit which is available as part of the HOFMANN range – is an ideal tool when it comes to
run-flats.
Bead breaking with the optional bead breaker disc is done dynamically during rotation of the
turntable, thus preserving rim and tyre.
The tyre bead is pressed into the drop centre of the rim by a roller so that the mounting head can be
positioned on the rim easily and gently.
During the demounting operation the bead pusher presses the upper bead into the drop centre of
the rim so that it can be easily levered over the mounting head nose and finally demounted without
any effort.
During the mounting operation of the upper bead the roller retains the bead under the mounting
head nose. The practical bead pusher follows rotation of the wheel, doing the otherwise tedious job
of the operator, while preserving both tyre and rim.
The easymont PRO tool comes as standard with HOFMANN’s monty 3300 FUSION II, monty 3300
Racing, monty 3300 Racing Plus and the monty 3300 Racing AT Plus tyre changers.
Included within the Plus Kit are a plastic bead breaker disc, triangular bead pusher, plastic protector
for bead breaker blade, spacers for bead breaker blade, tyre lever plus, smart bead spacer tail,
plastic tyre protector, and an operation manual.
