Rotary® R1250 Leverless Pro Tire Changer
High-Volume, Wheel-Safe Tire Changing for Dealership Service Bays
The Rotary R1250 tire changer is engineered for dealerships and professional tire shops that demand productivity, precision, and protection. Designed as a high-performance leverless tire changer, the R1250 combines laser-guided positioning, patented tool head technology, integrated wheel lift, and advanced control systems to increase throughput while reducing technician strain and rim damage.
For modern service departments handling low-profile, run-flat, performance, and EV tires, the R1250 delivers the speed and consistency required in high-volume environments.
Built for High-Volume Dealership Tire Service
Dealership service managers are measured on efficiency, technician productivity, and customer satisfaction. The Rotary R1250 was developed to support all three.
Traditional tire changers often require repeated repositioning and increased technician contact with moving components. The R1250 leverless tire changer reduces unnecessary adjustments through:




These features minimize repetitive setup time between wheels and increase daily tire bay capacity. For high-volume dealerships, even saving two minutes per tire can translate into increased RO capacity and improved revenue per bay.
Leverless Operation with Patented Wheel Protection
Modern wheels are larger, lighter, and more expensive than ever. Scratched alloy wheels and damaged beads can quickly become costly customer satisfaction issues.
The Rotary R1250 includes a patented leverless tool head engineered to minimize metal-to-wheel contact. This wheel-safe tire changer design significantly reduces the risk of rim damage when servicing:
- Low-profile performance tires
- Run-flat tires
- Luxury alloy wheels
- EV wheel assemblies
- Large-diameter rims
For dealerships servicing premium brands, protecting customer wheels is not optional—it’s essential.
Integrated Wheel Lift for Technician Safety
Technician injuries and lifting strain impact productivity and liability. The R1250 includes a standard integrated wheel lift, reducing manual lifting when handling heavy wheel assemblies.
This makes it an ideal tire changer with wheel lift for dealerships servicing SUVs, EVs, and performance vehicles with heavier wheel packages.
Fewer lifting injuries mean:
- Improved technician retention
- Reduced downtime
- Lower workers’ compensation exposure
- Safer working conditions
Advanced Control for Modern Tire Applications
The R1250 professional tire changer machine provides exceptional control across a wide range of tire applications. These features make the R1250 a reliable solution for servicing modern performance, EV, and run-flat tires commonly found in today’s dealership service bays.
Increased Tire Bay Productivity
In today’s dealership environment, adding staff isn’t always the solution. Improving efficiency is.
The R1250 helps service departments:
- Reduce cycle times
- Lower training time for new technicians
- Minimize service errors
- Reduce wheel damage claims
- Increase daily throughput
This makes it one of the most effective high-volume tire changers for dealerships seeking operational improvement without expanding footprint.
