What Equipment Does a Mobile Tyre Technician Carry?

When most people hear the term “tyre fitting,” they picture a large garage with ramps and heavy machinery. In reality, modern mobile tyre technicians operate fully equipped vans that function as professional workshops on wheels.

At Roadside Tyres 24hr Ltd, we provide expert mobile tyre services across Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Coleford, and Tewkesbury. Our vans are fitted with all the specialist equipment required to carry out safe, efficient tyre work at your home, workplace, or roadside location.

So, what exactly does a mobile tyre technician carry?

Professional Tyre Changing Machine

One of the most important pieces of equipment in our vans is a professional tyre changing machine. This allows us to safely remove old tyres and fit new ones without causing damage to alloy wheels.

Our machines are specifically designed for mobile use, meaning you receive the same standard of service as you would at a fixed garage — with the added convenience of us coming to you.

Digital Wheel Balancing Equipment

After fitting a new tyre, wheel balancing is essential. Without proper balancing, drivers may experience:

• Steering vibrations
• Uneven tyre wear
• Reduced driving comfort

Our vans are equipped with advanced digital wheel balancing systems, ensuring your wheels are precisely balanced on-site for a smooth and safe driving experience.

Air Compressors and Inflation Systems

Each mobile unit carries a high-powered air compressor used for:

• Inflating newly fitted tyres
• Adjusting tyre pressures
• Checking and optimising air levels
• Assisting with puncture repairs

Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is essential for fuel efficiency, safety, and extending tyre lifespan.

Hydraulic Jacks and Safe Lifting Equipment

Safety is always our priority. We use heavy-duty hydraulic jacks and axle support equipment designed to lift vehicles securely on a variety of surfaces — whether at home, at work, or on the roadside.

Your vehicle is properly stabilised and positioned before any tyre work begins.

Calibrated Torque Wrenches

Wheel nuts must be tightened to precise manufacturer specifications. Over-tightening or under-tightening can lead to serious safety risks.

Our technicians use calibrated torque wrenches to ensure each wheel is secured correctly before we complete the job and return your vehicle to the road.

Puncture Repair Tools

Not all tyres require replacement. Where it is safe and legal to do so, we carry professional puncture repair equipment to restore your tyre.

If a tyre cannot be safely repaired, our vans are stocked with a wide range of major tyre brands, allowing us to provide immediate replacements during the same visit.

Stock of Major Tyre Brands

Many people assume mobile vans carry limited stock. In fact, we carry a wide selection of:

• Premium tyres
• Mid-range options
• Economy tyres

We also provide:

• Winter and Summer Tyre Swaps
• Full tyre replacements
• Emergency tyre replacements

Keeping tyres in stock allows us to complete most jobs in a single visit.

24hr Emergency Equipment

As a 24-hour emergency mobile tyre service, our vans are fully equipped for safe roadside operations at any time, day or night.

Our equipment includes:

• Portable lighting systems
• Safety cones and hazard equipment
• Rapid response tools
• Secure roadside working equipment

If your vehicle cannot be made roadworthy on the spot, we also provide Recovery & Towing Services to ensure you are never left stranded.

A Complete Mobile Workshop – Brought to You

A common misconception is that mobile tyre fitting is a limited service. In reality, a fully equipped mobile van delivers the same professional results as a traditional tyre centre — without the inconvenience of travelling to a garage.

At Roadside Tyres 24hr Ltd, we bring the workshop directly to you, whether you are at home, at work, or stranded anywhere in Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Coleford, or Tewkesbury.
