Included within the bundle are the Hunter TCX 52 tyre changer, the Hunter SmartWeight Pro wheel balancer and a Teknel Butterfly induction heater, making it an ideal package for those looking to enter tyre servicing, upgrade or replace existing equipment. “Part of Pro-Align’s wider Essentials range, the Hunter TCX 52 is an entry- level traditional tilt arm tyre changer which features an air powered tilt column, bi-directional turntable, side shovel, bead press system and is operated via a foot pedal system. Meanwhile the SmartWeight Pro is the latest diagnostic balancer from Pro-Align.

He continued: “By bundling together a number of our most popular entry-level systems in an incredibly tempting package, workshop owners will be able to improve their service offering for a very modest outlay. Given the uncertain times we are enduring, we expect this offer to be a welcome relief and a very popular limited offer.” Clive added: “The products contained within this bundle are among the most popular that we offer, so if anyone is considering investing in any of these during 2020, Left to right: Hunter SmartWeight Pro and Hofmann monty 3300-24
