Rotary Solutions, part of Vehicle Service Group (VSG), a Dover company, has released the Rotary R1250 Leverless Tire Changer. This turnkey tire-changing solution improves shop efficiency and profitability by allowing automotive technicians a safer, faster and easier way to change tires safely, the company said in a release. The R1250’s debut was a success at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas, attracting professionals from across the industry.
Historically, tire changing has been a physically demanding task for technicians. As end-of-day and end-of-week fatigue sets in, lifting heavy tires on and off cumbersome machines can result in unsafe work conditions, inaccurate tire mounting and demounting, wheel damage, extended service times and unsatisfied customers. Rotary’s R1250 Leverless Tire Changer eliminates those risks with features designed for accuracy, speed and ease of use, requiring no heavy lifting or hand tools.
“With the R1250, changing tires has never been more efficient,” said Don Vanderheyden, vice president of business development for Rotary Solutions. “The R1250 provides automated options for several actions tire technicians perform regularly.”
Key features of the R1250 include:
- Pneumatic frontloading wheel lift for strain-free setup
- Dual-bead rollers for faster mounting and demounting
- Laser-guided, automatic tool positioning for perfect accuracy
- Patented, quick-locking center-clamping pedestal helps prevent accidental wheel damage
- Telescoping, three-position pedestal to service a wide range of wheels
- Built-in memory functionality and intuitive controls for easy operation
Additionally, the R1250 is ready to use right out of the box — no extra tools are required. With pushbutton controls and synchronized bead rollers, technicians can stay in virtually one spot, minimizing the risks of strain and injury.
“If you value time over sweat, the R1250 is the easiest Rotary tire changer to use for changing tires while improving your shop’s profits,” added Vanderheyden. “This turnkey system allows shops to change tires faster, with less labor, and at a higher quality — instantly boosting customer satisfaction and shop productivity.”
