Hunter Engineering introduces the Maverick® Pro tire changer
ST. LOUIS – For its new Maverick® Pro center-clamp tire changer, Hunter Engineering has taken the popular original Maverick® and made two important enhancements.
The first is a new ergonomic pick-and-place wheel lift capable of lifting and tilting heavy assemblies and 19.5s up to 175 pounds in one smooth motion. The lift holds position while elevated and then lowers automatically, eliminating the most repetitive and back-straining part of the tire-changing process.
Additionally, the Maverick® Pro features an under-wheel light that illuminates the lower roller and bottom bead during the mount/demount process. The light activates automatically during lower roller operation and includes a customizable timer for automatic shut-off.
The improved visibility allows for easier bottom bead breaking and lubrication, even in low-light conditions.
The new Maverick® Pro maintains all the efficiency and productivity of the original Maverick®, keeping the technician completely in charge with smooth and variable operation. Hydraulic controls combine low-speed functionality with on-demand acceleration, allowing technicians to control the tire-changing process using their own techniques at their own speed.
Other productivity features include a leverless head and automatic tools-clear functionality. InflationStation™ fills tires to the desired pressure automatically without operator presence, allowing the technician to tend to other tasks simultaneously.
“The Maverick® Pro is a great example of how listening to the customer leads to better products that make wheel service easier,” said Jim Hudson, Hunter Product Manager for Tire Changers. “Technicians have loved the Maverick® since its release, and the ergonomic lift and under-wheel light make tire changing safer, faster and easier for everyone.”
