Precision. Speed. Smart Shop Growth.

The Rotary R144i is a compact, high-performance swing arm tire changer designed for independent shop owners and dealership service managers who need reliable, technician-friendly tire service without sacrificing floor space or upgrade potential.

BUILT FOR TECHNICIAN COMFORT AND CONTROL

The hand-controlled bead breaker reduces strain and improves precision compared to traditional foot pedals. With 6,745 ft-lbs of force, the R144i easily handles tough beads while protecting wheels.

A standard plastic mount/demount head protects alloy rims. The extra-wide shaft accommodates tires up to 15″ wide and 46″ in diameter—ideal for most cars and light trucks.

COMPACT & ORGANIZED FOR TIGH BAYS

This Rotary tire changer features an encapsulated air tank inside the column, saving rear space. The built-in storage cabinet keeps tools like valve stems and cores within reach—boosting workflow and technician speed.

IDEAL FOR GROWING SHOPS 

The R144i runs on standard 110V single-phase power, so no special wiring is needed. It’s equipped with a durable swing arm structure and steel-reinforced gearbox for long-term, high-volume use.

The POWER IN, PARK, and POWER OUT functions give precise control when working with low-profile, run-flat, and stiffer sidewall tires—helping new and experienced techs reduce risk.

The self-centering rim clamps handle:

  • External clamping: 10″–26″
  • Internal clamping: 12″–28.5″

Optional adapters make this table top tire changer compatible with motorcycle, ATV, and small equipment tires.
