Hofmann Megaplan megamount REBEL vs megamount 70LLF: What You Need to Know
If you're shopping for a professional-grade tyre changer built to handle high-volume garage use, two models stand out: the megamount REBEL and megamount 70LLF from Hofmann Megaplan. Both of these machines are engineered for reliability, performance and durability so they can handle demanding workloads without issue.But these tyre changers are designed for different needs. So, which is right for your business? Let's break down the key differences.
What's the Difference Between the megamount REBEL and megamount 70LLF?
The megamount REBEL is a recent innovation, featuring a centre post design and Dynamic Leverless system. Unlike traditional leverless changers, this system uses axial and radial grippers to remove and mount tyres without any contact with the rim, reducing the risk of damage and making it especially effective for difficult low-profile, or run-flat tyres.
This leverless operation is fully automated, not just simulating a lever action but delicately repositioning the bead to reduce stress and eliminate tool contact. Combined with features like the additional bead-press arm, dual disc bead breaking, and a 30″ clamping range, the Rebel offers impressive performance for modern workshop demands.
In contrast, the megamount 70LLF is a heavy-duty, turntable based tyre changer, with a leverless system, which is, once again, highly effective on even the most difficult tyres. Though it doesn't feature the contact-free tech of the REBEL, its mechanical setup is proven, reliable and ideal for high-throughput environments.
In addition, the demount tool head benefits from a simultaneous vertical and horizontal arm locking system, to reduce flex during tyre mounting/demounting, which helps to avoid sudden slips or bead jumps that can happen with alternative tool setups.
