Snap-on Equipment’s Quadriga ATC 1000 Fully-Automatic Tire Changer Wins 2009 Motor Top 20 Tools Award

September 10, 2009 -- Snap-on Equipment’s latest addition to its line of high-quality tire changers has been named for Motor Magazine’s Top 20 Tools list for 2009. The Quadriga ATC 1000 is the industry’s first truly automatic tire changer. No other tire changer automatically measures tire diameter, uses imaging technology to precisely profile the wheel, automatically positions the tire for hydraulically-driven dual bead breaking, and uses precise motor controls to remove the tire from the wheel.

Motor’s Top 20 Tools award listing is compiled annually by the editorial staff at Motor Magazine and recognizes products with features and benefits that offer outstanding productivity.

The Quadriga ATC 1000 features an integrated wheel lift to handle heavy lifting, and a hydraulically-activated center clamp that safely clamps the wheel without risk of damage associated with table-top machines. Smart Vision™ laser-guided bead-breaking and demounting tools completely eliminate tool-to-wheel contact for damage-free and worry-free tire and wheel handling. The Quadriga ATC 1000 is the first tire industry application of laser imaging brought to you by the company that invented imaging technology for shop equipment.

Snap-on Equipment is the world’s leading automotive service equipment company and is a division of Snap-on Inc., a leading global innovator, manufacturer and marketer of tools, diagnostic and equipment solutions for professional tool users.
