Hunter releases new table-top tire changer

March 13, 2025
The new tire changer is designed to deliver premium features and productivity for users.

Hunter Engineering has introduced their new TCX53Pro tire changer, designed to deliver premium features and productivity in a familiar swing-arm format. 

The TCX53Pro includes a locking lower disc and dual upper press rollers, equipping it to handle everything from 19.5s to advanced EV fitments. The fast and easy hybrid leverless tool head's unique tilting lip keeps the bead in position during demount, while the rounded profile helps reduce the risk of tire damage. The polymer winged head doesn't require protective inserts, and the wing feature keeps beads in position during mount.

The TCX53Pro is heavier, more rigid and powerful than other tire changers in the same class, says Hunter, providing up to 50 percent higher torque, greater speed and less movement.

What people are saying

"The new TCX53Pro is a unique combination of premium features in a time-tested, familiar format," said Jim Hudson, Hunter product manager for tire changers. "The hybrid head and lower locking disc make it much easier and safer to change tough tires on a simple, rugged swing arm tire changer."

"It's a great mash-up of power, speed, simplicity, and safety that makes it a great machine for almost every shop," he said.
