Ken-Tool Easy-Lift bead seating stand

The Easy-Lift Bead-Seating Stand from Ken-Tool provides a safer and easier way to position large tire and wheel assemblies for proper bead seating. Ergonomically designed to increase productivity and reduce back strain and injuries, it aligns tire beads concentrically on the wheel resulting in improved vehicle ride and longer tire life. After mounting a tire onto a 22.5-inch wheel, the technician rolls the tire and wheel assembly to the front of the stand. Then he pushes the assembly towards the crown on the stand so that gravity takes over to make the center of the wheel fall onto the crown. Once the assembly contacts the crown, it automatically falls into a horizontal position, and gravity then causes the bottom bead of the tire to align concentrically with the bottom bead flange of the wheel. The Easy-Lift stand comes in two sizes for 22.5-inch diameter wheels: Item #36016 features a standard-sized crown to handle wheels with 8 1/2-inch center-holes, and Item #36017 features a larger crown to fit European-sized 11-inch center holes. Both are portable and weigh just 37 pounds. For more information visit www.kentool.com or call (8000 872-4929.
