Overview

The Hunter TCMW Maverick Tire Changer is a premium center-clamp machine that combines fully variable hydraulic control with leverless polymer toolhead technology to deliver safe, efficient tire service for passenger vehicles. Proudly Made in the United States, this technician-focused tire changer handles rim diameters from 10 to 34 inches and tire diameters up to 50 inches, making it versatile enough for standard passenger cars through light truck applications. With its integrated hydraulic wheel lift, the TCMW variant eliminates the back-straining work of loading heavy assemblies up to 175 lbs, while the fully variable 0-17 RPM rotation with 700 ft-lbs of torque provides precise control during mounting and demounting operations.

Key Features

Fully Variable Hydraulic Control

Proportional joystick controls deliver smooth, fully variable operation from 0-17 RPM with 700 ft-lbs torque, combining low-speed precision with on-demand faster operation for complete technician authority.

SmartSet® Leverless Toolhead

Uniquely designed polymer leverless mount/demount tool with SmartSet indicator notch shows proper set height, enabling damage-free tire changing on alloy and specialty wheels without rim contact risk.

InflationStation™ Walkaway Inflation

Automatic inflation system fills tires to specified pressure settings with hands-free walkaway capability, plus fast blast inflation feature directs high-volume air for tough bead seating on stubborn tires.

Integrated Hydraulic Wheel Lift

Factory-installed hydraulic wheel lift raises and positions heavy wheel assemblies up to 175 lbs onto the turntable, eliminating repetitive lifting and reducing technician fatigue throughout the workday.

RollerLock Center Post Clamp

Patent-pending ball-retention design clamps wheels faster and tighter than conventional systems, providing secure hold during rotation while adjustable clamping height accommodates various wheel types and sizes.

Smart Safety Monitoring

Advanced monitoring system tracks roller and hook positions to prevent unintended wheel contact, with automatic parking logic that moves rollers and toolhead out of the way quickly without operator input.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the TCM and TCMW models?+
The TCMW includes an integrated hydraulic wheel lift system, while the TCM is the standard model without the lift. The wheel lift on the TCMW can raise wheel assemblies up to 175 lbs, reducing technician fatigue and speeding up the tire changing process. Both models share the same core specifications including 10-34 inch rim capacity, 50-inch max tire diameter, and fully variable hydraulic controls.
What size wheels and tires can the TCMW handle?+
The Hunter TCMW accommodates rim diameters from 10 to 34 inches, tire diameters up to 50 inches, wheel widths up to 19 inches, and wheel weights up to 175 lbs. This range covers standard passenger car wheels through light truck applications including 19.5-inch large-bore assemblies and reverse drop center wheels.
Does the TCMW require compressed air or just electricity?+
The TCMW operates on 208-230 VAC, 1-phase electrical power at 3 kW and uses hydraulic cylinders rather than pneumatic cylinders for its primary operation. However, compressed air is required for the InflationStation inflation system. This hybrid design provides superior force and precision through hydraulics while maintaining fast tire inflation capability.
What is the SmartSet toolhead and how does it work?+
The SmartSet toolhead is Hunter's leverless polymer mount/demount tool that protects wheels from damage during tire service. It features an indicator notch that shows the proper set height position for optimal performance. Once properly set, the demounting hook lowers to catch and lift the bead above the rim for safe demounting without requiring metal tire irons that can scratch or damage wheels.
