Fortisky FTC-1670 Tilt Back Tire Changer

The Fortisky FTC-1660 is a dual assist arm tire changer with integrated bead blaster built for high-volume tire shops and service bays running a steady mix of passenger cars, light trucks, and the low-profile and run-flat fitments that a standard single-arm machine handles poorly. The 186-steel bead breaker cylinder is rated for 600,000+ cycles — the durability spec that matters most on a machine running 20 or 30 tires a day where bead breaker fatigue is the first failure point. It runs on a 2.0 HP high-power motor designed for low noise output, keeping the machine from adding to the ambient noise level of a busy bay during continuous operation.

The dual assist arms control the bead and sidewall from both sides during mounting and demounting — the feature that makes run-flat and stiff low-profile tires manageable for one technician without manual workarounds or the rim contact that happens when leverage gets improvised. The turbo blast pipe bead blaster delivers fast, high-volume air bursts for aggressive bead seating on tires that resist standard inflation, eliminating the repeated attempts that slow the bay down. The hard chrome-plated working head resists wear at the contact point that takes the most abuse in daily service, and integrated plastic covers on the claws and working head protect alloy rims throughout the mounting and demounting cycle. A one-piece machined chuck base adds rigidity that prevents deformation under load, and the synchronized automatic-centering turntable keeps clamping consistent and repeatable across different wheel sizes.

The FTC-1660 is built for independent tire shops and dealership service bays that need a changer capable of handling the full range of modern tire types without a separate machine for difficult fitments, and for high-volume operations where the bead breaker cycle count and motor durability are as important as the day-one feature set.
