Semi-automatic swing arm tire changer 10"-24"

The CAV 1024 semi-automatic swing arm tire changer is built for workshops that need reliable tyre service equipment without unnecessary complexity. CAV understands that not every garage needs a fully automated machine, but every garage still needs a tire changer that works consistently, handles a decent range of wheels, and does not cost a fortune to maintain. That is exactly what this tire changing machine delivers.

The swing arm design is the heart of this tire changer. It gives you a good balance of manual control and mechanical assistance. You operate the CAV 1024 using foot pedals, which leaves your hands free to guide the tyre and the duckhead tool precisely around the rim. That hands-free operation is a genuine safety advantage – you are not reaching across moving parts while trying to manage a stiff tyre sidewall.

The clamping system on this swing arm tire changer is versatile enough to handle most wheels that roll through a typical service bay. External clamping works from 10" to 22", and internal clamping goes from 12" right up to 24". So whether you are dealing with a small compact car spare or a light truck tyre, the CAV 1024 has you covered. The maximum wheel diameter is 1040mm (about 41 inches), and the maximum wheel width is 330mm (13 inches). That is a practical working range that covers the majority of passenger and light commercial vehicles on the road.

Power comes from a motor rated at 0.55kW, 0.75kW, or 1.1kW depending on your local power supply – CAV offers flexibility to match 110V, 220V, or 380V electrical systems. The bead breaker delivers a punchy 2500kg of force, which is more than enough for most stubborn tyres. You will appreciate that kind of muscle when you are wrestling with an old tyre that has been on the rim for years, or a low-profile performance tyre that does not want to let go. The CAV 1024 tire changer operates at under 70dB, so your workshop stays relatively quiet even during busy periods. And with air supply requirements of just 8 to 10 bar, it works with most standard workshop compressors.

Product highlights

Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction – The CAV 1024 tire changer is built around a heavy-duty steel frame and a reinforced tower that absorbs the stresses of daily tyre work. This is not a flimsy machine that will wobble or shift when you apply pressure. CAV has over-engineered the structure to give you years of reliable service, even in busy workshops where the tyre machine gets used dozens of times a day.

Versatile Clamping Range – 10" to 24" – This swing arm tire changer accommodates a broad spectrum of wheels. External clamping covers 10" to 22", and internal clamping covers 12" to 24". That means you can service everything from compact car spares to light truck and SUV wheels on the same tire changing machine. The adjustable clamping jaws adapt quickly, so you are not wasting time fiddling with settings between jobs.

Powerful 2500kg Bead Breaker – The bead breaker on the CAV 1024 delivers 2500kg of force – plenty of muscle to separate stubborn beads from the rim. Whether you are dealing with corroded steel wheels or tight-fitting performance tyres, this tire changer makes the job manageable. The bead breaker operates automatically, so you get consistent, reliable performance every time.

Foot-Operated Control Pedals – The foot pedal system gives you total hands-free control over the turntable rotation and the tool arm. That is a significant safety and efficiency feature. You can rotate the wheel, position the tool, and guide the tyre all without taking your hands off the job. Experienced tyre fitters will tell you that this makes a real difference when you are working through a long list of tyre services.

Multi-Angle Duckhead Tool – The CAV 1024 tire changer comes with a duckhead tool designed to minimise the risk of damage to wheels and rims. The multi-angle head gives you the flexibility to approach the tyre from the optimal position, reducing the effort required to mount or dismount the tyre. This is particularly valuable when working with expensive alloy wheels where scratches are not an option.

Low Noise Operation – Below 70dB – At under 70 decibels, this swing arm tire changer is noticeably quieter than many competitors. That makes a difference in a busy workshop where the constant noise from equipment can be fatiguing over a long shift. Your technicians will appreciate the quieter working environment.

Easy Wheel Compatibility – This tire changing machine handles steel wheels, alloy wheels, and performance wheels, including low-profile tyres and run-flat tyres. That versatility means you can use the CAV 1024 across your entire service range without needing a separate machine for different wheel types.

Integrated Tool Tray – The built-in tray keeps your tyre tools, valve stems, and small accessories organised and within reach. It is a simple touch, but it keeps your workspace tidy and saves you walking back and forth to the tool bench.

Flexible Motor and Power Options – CAV offers this tire changer with motor ratings of 0.55kW, 0.75kW, or 1.1kW to suit your local power supply. Choose from 110V, 220V, or 380V configurations – the CAV 1024 adapts to your workshop infrastructure.
