With the continued growth of low profile tyres and run-flat technology, Viking International offers a range of garage equipment to meet demands of the changing tyre market.

The range includes the Corghi A2005 and SP2000 Assist Arm and the Hoffman Monty 3300 Racing GP.

The Corghi A2005 is an air/electric, semi-automatic tyre changer, particularly suited to car and light commercial vehicles. It features single lever locking of rim width, diameter and offset are automatic.

The clamping design handles alloy, high nave, reverse fit and light truck rims, and the special geometry power bead breaker safely handles tyres with the minimum of effort from the operator. Supplied in single or three phase mode, the A2005 is a general purpose tyre changer built to a high specification.

The SP2000 Assist Arm, which fits to the A2005, is an air operated bead loosener, patented by Corghi. Ideal for working with super low profile tyres or alloy sports rims, the bead loosening is achieved by gradually increasing the dish pressure against the bead as the wheel is rotated. The Assist Arm can be fitted to the A2025, A2020 RC TI and A2015.

The Hoffman Monty is an automatic tilt back post tyre changer, designed for car and light truck wheels with 10 - 24 rims. Featuring a self centering four-jaw chuck with chamfered jaws for quick and secure clamping of wheels, it also boasts a double acting, pneumatic bead breaker with quick inflating valve for fast and safe inflation of tyres in line with CE standards. Optional clamping jaws also allow motorcycle wheel fitment.

These are just a few examples of the garage equipment available from Viking International. For more information or to discuss your requirements, contact VI on 0845 205 55 16 or visit www.viking.co.uk.
