What tire and wheel sizes can the Winntec Wheel Assist Gen 2 handle?
The Winntec Wheel Assist Gen 2 is built for all passenger tire and wheel sizes, including run-flats. That makes it a fit for tire shops handling heavier OE wheel-and-tire packages, not just standard passenger assemblies.
How high does the Winntec Wheel Assist Gen 2 lift?
The Winntec Wheel Assist Gen 2 travels from floor level to post-lift height. In practical tire shop use, that means the same tool can pick up the assembly at the vehicle, stay with it through service, and bring it back into position for reinstallation without a hand-carry step in between.
Where does the Winntec Wheel Assist Gen 2 fit in the tire shop workflow?
The Winntec Wheel Assist Gen 2 fits directly between the vehicle, the tire changer, and the wheel balancer. The intended sequence is removing the assembly from the vehicle, moving it to the changer, moving it to the balancer, and then taking it back to the vehicle without lifting it by hand at each transfer point.
What maintenance does the Winntec Wheel Assist Gen 2 require?
The maintenance burden is minimal on the Winntec Wheel Assist Gen 2 because it does not rely on hydraulics, pneumatics, or electric components. That no-power, no-fluid design is the reason it is presented as virtually maintenance-free rather than as a lift that needs air lines, hydraulic service, or electrical troubleshooting.
What changed on the Winntec Wheel Assist Gen 2 compared with the first generation?
The Winntec Wheel Assist Gen 2 adds taller wheel casters, a loading ramp, sliding tire roller sleeves, and an assist step. These updates are aimed at making loading, supporting, and moving the assembly through the shop more controlled than the earlier version.
