We recently sent a group of the Jonair team to the SICE factory in Correggio, Italy, for extensive training on truck tyre changers, passenger tyre changers and wheel balancers. For our Australian workshop customers, that means faster, more knowledgeable support when a machine needs attention.

A truck tyre changer that is out of action can hold up a whole workshop. That is why we believe knowing our machines is the main reason customers choose Jonair, and what sets us apart from other suppliers.

We want every customer to get their equipment issue resolved quickly. That depends on the whole team knowing the equipment, whether they work in management, sales, the warehouse or post-sales support.

Why we sent our team to the SICE factory

SICE builds its tyre changers and wheel balancers in Correggio, in northern Italy. Training at the factory let our team learn the machines at their source, across the range we supply to Australian workshops.

Truck Tyre Changer Training

Our team trained across SICE truck tyre changers, from the smaller S52A to the heavy-duty S60.

The training included:

• SICE S52A: A universal truck tyre changer that is great for trucks and buses (up to 26” rims). Great for a metropolitan workshop with a high volume of trucks and buses.
• SICE S54A: An all rounder truck tyre changer that handles trucks, buses, tractors and agricultural vehicles (up to 46” rims or 56” with extensions). Excellent for a rural workshop that handles high volumes of trucks, buses and agricultural vehicles.
• SICE S560M: A heavy duty semi automatic truck tyre changer that handles trucks, buses, tractors, agricultural and earthmoving vehicles. It’s perfect for a workshop that handles heavy duty vehicles.

Passenger Tyre Changer Training

The training also covered SICE’s automated passenger tyre changers, including the machines that do more of the work for the operator.

SICE S43: A car tyre changer with a tilt-back mounting mast, supplied with a bead-pressing arm.

SICE S45: An automatic swing-arm machine with a four-jaw turntable that clamps 12″ to 27″ rims.

SICE S1000: A highly automated, leverless and contactless machine for rims from 13″ to 32″, including run flat tyres.

Wheel Balancer Troubleshooting and Calibration

A balancer is only useful if its readings can be trusted. Our team completed extensive training in troubleshooting and calibrating wheel balancers, especially on the SICE S783 truck wheel balancer.

The S783 has automatic wheel size detection, laser weight positioning, an electric brake and an integrated lifter rated to 150 kg.

 

What this means for your workshop

This training adds to the support Jonair already provides to workshops:

• Phone diagnosis: Our technicians are available five days a week and can often diagnose a problem over the phone, without the cost of a call out.
• Immediate Repairs: We handle major truck tyre changer repairs in our own workshop.
• Fast parts dispatch: We have spare parts available immediately for all machines we stock.
• On-site help: A network of affiliated technicians covers Australia.

After more than 40 years in the industry, we still believe the best after-sales support starts with knowing the machine inside and out.
