Swingarm Tire Machine with Center-Post Locking and Variable Speed Inverter
Busy tire centers live and die by cycle time — but pushing wheels through faster with a conventional clamping-jaw turntable means more cosmetic damage, more comebacks, and more arguments at the counter. Reverse rims and low-profile fitments only raise the stakes.
The Rotary R247D.CL pairs high-volume swingarm productivity with a center-post locking system that drastically reduces the risk of wheel damage, and an exclusive variable speed control inverter that automatically slows rotation as bead stress builds. It comes standard with both metal and plastic mounting and demounting heads.

Features
-
Variable speed control inverter — Rotary's exclusive inverter regulates rotational speed and slows as stress on the bead increases, avoiding damage to the tire
-
Center-post locking system — center-clamp design drastically reduces the risk of wheel damage versus clamping-jaw turntables, and works with reverse rims
-
Double-acting bead breaker cylinder — designed for low-profile and large-sized steel or alloy rims, with 6,745 lbs of force at 145 PSI
-
Integrated wheel lift — raises and positions heavy tire and wheel assemblies onto the machine, reducing technician strain and injury risk
-
Dual mount/demount heads — switch between the included metal and plastic heads to match steel or delicate alloy wheels
-
Pneumatic top bead tool and lifting roller — standard lower bead lifting roller and top bead pressing tool for large and special tires
-
Hand-controlled side bead breaker — precise, operator-paced bead breaking with a 15" maximum opening
-
10"-30" rim clamping with 47" tire capacity — covers passenger, light truck, and oversized fitments
Center-Post Locking: Speed Without the Damage Risk
Conventional turntables grip the rim with clamping jaws — four metal contact points on the customer's wheel face, every single cycle. The R247D.CL's center-post mount locks the wheel through its hub bore instead, using the included quick-locking centering adapter.
The payoff is twofold: setup is faster because there are no jaws to position, and the wheel face is untouched. Reverse rims, which fight clamping-jaw machines, mount without drama.
An Inverter That Protects Every Bead
The R247D.CL's variable speed inverter is not a simple two-speed pedal. It continuously regulates rotational speed and slows the turntable as bead stress increases — the machine reacts before a stiff sidewall becomes a torn bead.
Combined with the double-acting bead breaker cylinder engineered for low-profile and large steel or alloy rims, it lets techs run at full pace on easy fitments and lets the machine protect the difficult ones.
The Right Tire Changer for Your Shop
The Rotary R247D.CL brings 10"-30" center-lock clamping, a 47" maximum tire diameter, and a 2 HP variable speed inverter motor to shops that need pro-performance throughput without wheel damage claims.
With metal and plastic heads, the centering adapter, bead lifting roller, and pneumatic top bead tool all standard, it goes to work the day it lands — backed by Rotary's dealer and service network that has been serving shops since 1925.
