Description
BLS 296 Heavy Duty Truck Tire Changer Machine, 14″-42″ Clamping Range Hydraulic Tyre Changer for Bus & Commercial Vehicles, 3520lbs Max Wheel Weight Capacity, 2.2kW Dual Motors, Professional Garage Grade
The BLS 296 Heavy Duty Tyre Changer represents the pinnacle of commercial tire servicing technology, engineered specifically for the most demanding truck, bus, and heavy commercial vehicle applications. As part of UNITE’s prestigious Heavy Duty Line, the BLS 296 is a powerhouse machine that combines extraordinary capacity, industrial-grade hydraulic power, and professional versatility to meet the needs of the most challenging tire service environments.
What immediately sets the BLS 296apart from the competition is its extraordinary maximum wheel weight capacity of 1,600 kg (3,520 lbs). This is not a machine for light-duty applications — the BLS 296 is built to handle the heaviest wheels found on commercial trucks, articulated buses, mining vehicles, and other large commercial equipment. Very few tyre changers on the market can match this level of raw capacity.
The machine accommodates wheels with a maximum diameter of ≤2,300mm (90″) and a maximum width of ≤1,050mm (41″), covering virtually every commercial and industrial tire size in existence. Combined with a clamping range of 14″ to 42″, the BLS 296 provides unmatched versatility that makes it the ultimate all-in-one solution for workshops servicing a wide variety of large commercial vehicles.
Powering the BLS 296 is a dual-motor hydraulic system consisting of a 2.2kW hydraulic pump motor and a 2.2kW rotating motor, both available in 220V or 380V three-phase configurations. For even greater performance, the BLS 296 is also available with a 2-speed motor option (3.3/4.0kW at 380V), providing additional torque and speed control for tackling the most stubborn and oversized commercial tires with confidence and precision.
The clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation modes give technicians complete flexibility when mounting and demounting tires, adapting effortlessly to different tire and rim configurations. This bidirectional capability streamlines the tire changing process, reduces the time spent on each vehicle, and ensures smooth, damage-free operation regardless of tire type or size.
Built with professional workshops in mind, the BLS 296‘s robust heavy-duty steel frame ensures rock-solid stability even when working with the heaviest industrial wheels. The controlled hydraulic operation minimizes sudden movements and protects both rims and tires from damage throughout the changing process — an essential feature when working with expensive commercial vehicle wheels.
The BLS 296 operates at a noise level of ≤75 dB, a commendable figure for a machine of this immense power class. This helps maintain a more comfortable and manageable working environment for technicians, even during extended daily use. CE and RoHS certified, the BLS 296 fully complies with international safety and environmental regulations, providing buyers with complete confidence in the machine’s quality, construction, and compliance.
For fleet operators, truck depots, bus maintenance centers, mining equipment workshops, and professional tire shops specializing in large commercial vehicles, the BLS 296 is the definitive choice. No other machine in its class offers this combination of capacity, power, versatility, and professional-grade reliability. Invest in the BLS 296 today and equip your workshop with the ultimate heavy-duty tyre changing solution.
