#SEMA/GTE: Hunter Updates Revolution Tire Changer

Hunter Revolution-TCR1Hunter said new updates to its Revolution fully automatic tire changer have reduced the unit’s footprint by 25% and enhanced ease-of-use.

The Revolution’s updated console is now integrated into the unit for improved ergonomics and increased adaptor storage, according to the company, which added that an all-new flange plate comes standard and eases servicing of plastic clad and reverse wheels where maximum protection is needed. The new flange plate features a wider, stronger clamping range and makes adjustments faster using quick-change pins.

Revolution tire changers now come standard with a camera kit to record every tire changing interaction and verify correct operation and training.

Updates also include new 1.4 software, which features an advanced control function for more freedom when servicing extremely high-end assemblies and a new, adaptive bead-breaking system, Hunter added.

A new thick bead kit accessory expands the capabilities of the Revolution to include range H and higher tires, as well as off-road tires. A new wide hook and reverse wheel adaptor enhance the unit’s capability for thick bead applications, according to the company.
