Hunter Highlights Vol. 93

Hunter has introduced a TC3500 tire changer equipped with a side shovel bead loosener to offer an even more capable tool for servicing the widest range of wheel and tire designs. The TC3500-SS side shovel features an extra-wide, 15-inch travel that eliminates the need to readjust with each use. Its air motor drive provides total control, eliminating violent forces commonly associated with air cylinder operation. A side shovel is essential for some niche applications such as motorcycle and ATV wheel assemblies. It also speeds the service of some reverse drop center wheels. Hunter's TC3500 is the professional’s standard for easy and safe handling of the toughest tire/wheel combinations. It is specified by car and tire manufacturers, service shops and racing teams.

Hunter staff recently christened the first production units of two new products. Key engineering, sales and marketing staff gathered in the St. Louis Assembly Plant Shipping Dept. to celebrate the occasion and continue the Hunter tradition of christening the first new product shipped with a touch of aged bourbon.

National Tire & Battery on Farm Rd. 1960, in Houston, Texas received Hunter’s first W811P-Plus Aligner Console. Gatto’s Tires & Auto Service, Hibiscus Blvd. in Melbourne, Florida received the first DSP500 electronic sensors. Both pieces of equipment were part of complete alignment system orders.
