Draper Expert Tyre Changer with Assist Arm and Wheel Balancer Kit

The Draper Expert TC200/WB200 is a complete, professional-grade wheel servicing solution for garages and workshops. Combining a semi-automatic tyre changer with a dedicated assist arm and a fully motorised wheel balancer, this kit gives technicians everything they need to change and balance passenger car and LGV tyres quickly, safely, and with precision. Both machines run on standard 230V/13-amp supplies and arrive with a comprehensive accessories package — plus installation is included in the price.

Tyre Changer (TC200)

Semi-Automatic Tyre Changer with Assist Arm

The TC200 semi-automatic tyre changer is built to handle the full range of modern wheel types, including low-profile and run-flat tyres that traditional changers struggle with. The integrated assist arm — sometimes called a third arm — supports the tyre bead during the mounting and demounting process, dramatically reducing the effort and risk of rim damage when working with stiff, reinforced sidewalls.

The fully motorised turntable is operated pneumatically, with clamping jaws, a powerful bead breaker, and a tilt column all controlled by the machine's pneumatic circuit. A self-centering four-jaw chuck, actuated by two independent clamping cylinders, locks wheel rims securely and consistently — meaning no manual adjustment between wheels. The mounting head is fitted with plastic protectors to guard alloy rims from scratches, while a large anti-skid rubber pad on the bead breaker arm prevents damage to both the tyre and the rim during demounting.

• Machine weight: 350kg
• Power: 230V / 13-amp

Wheel Balancer (WB200)

Semi-Automatic Wheel Balancer — 1-Gram Accuracy

The WB200 wheel balancer delivers workshop-grade balancing performance in a compact, easy-to-use package. Spinning at 200RPM with a cycle time of just 8–10 seconds, it quickly identifies imbalance across the full face of the wheel and guides the technician precisely where to place each balancing weight. The 1-gram accuracy ensures a smooth, vibration-free result on even the most sensitive steering setups.

Capable of accepting wheels up to 65kg and 24" in diameter, the WB200 covers the full range of passenger car and LGV wheel and tyre combinations. A calibration weight is supplied so the machine can be verified and recalibrated on-site.

Key WB200 Specifications:

• Maximum wheel diameter: 24"
• Maximum wheel and tyre weight: 65kg
• Maximum tyre/rim diameter capacity: 43"
• Maximum tyre/rim width capacity: 35"
• Balance speed: 200RPM
• Cycle time: 8–10 seconds
• Balance accuracy: 1 gram
• Power: 230V / 13-amp
• Guard open dimensions: 1,321mm × 1,016mm × 1,651mm
• Guard closed dimensions: 1,321mm × 965mm × 1,276mm

What's Included

The TC200/WB200 kit is supplied complete and ready to use. Both machines are dispatched with the following accessories:

• 4 × centring cones
• Centring shaft
• Wheel weight pliers
• Hub nut
• Rim width calipers
• Tyre lever
• Filter regulator lubricator (for compressed air supply connection)
• Alloy rim protectors
• Head tongue protectors
• Inflation gun and air hose
• Calibration weight (WB200)

Installation is included in the price. A Draper-approved engineer will set up both machines in your garage or workshop, so you can start working immediately. Note: postcode restrictions apply, and the installation surface must be a dry, flat, level, oil/grease-free concrete floor capable of bearing the machine's weight. If the area is deemed unsuitable on the day of installation, call-out charges may apply.

Who Is This Kit For?

The TC200/WB200 is designed for:

• Independent garages and tyre fitting centres that need a reliable, professional-grade solution without the price premium of top-tier commercial brands.
• Fast-fit workshops handling a high volume of passenger and LGV wheel changes where speed and consistency are critical.
• Fleet maintenance operations servicing mixed fleets of cars and light commercial vehicles.
• Motor sport and prestige vehicle specialists who routinely deal with low-profile and run-flat tyres that demand the precision of an assist arm.
• Agricultural and plant hire businesses that work with large, heavy wheel assemblies up to 65kg.

Why Choose the Draper Expert TC200/WB200?

Handles Low-Profile and Run-Flat Tyres

Modern vehicles increasingly run on low-profile or run-flat tyres. The TC200's integrated assist arm is specifically designed to manage the extra bead stiffness of these tyre types, protecting rims and reducing the physical effort of the job.

Comprehensive All-in-One Solution

Rather than sourcing a tyre changer and balancer separately, the TC200/WB200 delivers both machines from a single trusted manufacturer, with matched accessories and a coordinated installation service.

Standard UK Power — No Rewiring Required

Both the TC200 and WB200 run on standard 230V / 13-amp supplies. There is no need for three-phase power, making this kit accessible to a wider range of premises.

Draper Expert Build Quality

The Expert range sits at the top of Draper's product hierarchy, built for sustained professional use in demanding workshop environments. The TC200/WB200 reflects this with heavy-duty pneumatic systems, motorised clamping, and a robust steel construction throughout.

Installation Included

The price includes professional installation — an advantage not always offered with competitor machines at this level.

Does this kit work on run-flat tyres? Yes. The TC200 is fitted with an assist arm specifically to handle the stiff sidewalls of run-flat and low-profile tyres, which are difficult or impossible to mount safely without this feature.

What is the maximum rim size the TC200 can accept? The TC200 can internally lock rims from 3" to 26" in diameter, and externally lock rims from 12" to 25". The maximum tyre outside diameter is 45".

Does the WB200 work on LGV wheels? Yes. The WB200 is rated for wheel and tyre combinations up to 65kg in weight, making it suitable for both passenger car and LGV applications.

Is three-phase power needed? No. Both machines operate on a standard 230V single-phase / 13-amp supply.

Is installation really included? Yes — a professional installation is included in the purchase price. Postcode restrictions apply, and the installation area must be a suitable dry, level concrete surface. Call-out charges apply if the site is deemed unsuitable at the time of the visit.

What compressed air supply is needed for the TC200? The TC200 requires a pneumatic supply of 80–115psi (6–8bar). A filter regulator lubricator is included to connect your workshop air line.

Does the WB200 come with a calibration weight? Yes. A calibration weight is supplied with the WB200 so the machine can be verified and recalibrated in situ.
