Corghi A9222TI Swing Arm Air or Electric Tire Changer
The Corghi A9222TI Swing Arm Air or Electric Tire Changer is a robust, versatile machine crafted to meet the daily demands of automotive and light truck tire service operations. Built with a swing arm design that allows the mounting head to move out of the way, it offers improved access for technicians working on difficult tires. This flexibility minimizes interference between the tool head and the rim or tire, streamlining the mounting and demounting process. The A9222TI supports both air and electric drive options, which gives shops the flexibility to use pneumatic systems or standard electric power based on their existing setup. This dual compatibility ensures the machine can be adapted to a wide variety of workshop environments without compromise.
In terms of capacity, this air or electric tire changer is engineered to handle large wheel assemblies. It supports a maximum tire diameter of 42 inches (approximately 1067 mm) and works with rim widths from 3.5 inches to 12.5 inches (89 mm to 318 mm). The external rim clamping spans from 11 inches to 24 inches, and internal clamping fits from 13 inches to 25 inches, covering a broad spectrum of passenger and light truck wheels. These capabilities ensure that common vehicle wheels can be serviced without requiring specialist equipment or custom adapters. The machine also supports an air pressure requirement of 130 psi (around 8.9 bar), which is in line with standard shop compressed air systems, simplifying installation and compatibility.
One of the key operational parameters is the rotation speed of the table. The A9222TI electric tire changer achieves a steady 6.5 rpm, a balance of speed and control that allows technicians to mount and demount tires without risking damage to rims or sidewalls. This rotational control is especially useful when working with sensitive alloy wheels or high-performance tires where precision and caution are essential. The inclusion of a bead-breaking system further enhances the machine’s usability: its bead breaker is capable of exerting the force needed to separate tire beads cleanly and reliably. Combined with the swing arm’s design, this bead breaker reduces the manual effort required and improves safety during operations.
Mechanically, the machine is built with stability and durability in mind. The swing arm design is supported by heavy-duty components to ensure repeatability and longevity over years of service. Control layouts are intuitive, allowing operators to manage tasks efficiently without awkward reach or fatigue. The structure is designed to minimize vibration and maintain stability during demanding operations, which helps preserve precision and reduce wear on parts over time. In addition, the machine’s compact footprint ensures that it fits into typical workshop floor plans without needing excessive space, yet still provides ample clearance and ergonomics for tire work.
Operational versatility is enhanced by the optional assist arm known as the HTB24 Helper Assist Arm. This accessory can be mounted alongside the A9222TI to aid in handling stiff tires or managing sidewalls that resist mounting. The assist arm helps guide and support tires during complex mounting processes, reducing technician strain and minimizing the risk of tire or rim damage. It is a useful upgrade for shops that frequently deal with low-profile, reinforced, or run-flat tires that challenge standard changers.
