For servicing vehicle wheels, including heavy truck wheels, it is necessary to raise the wheel to a working position, in which the tyre can be pressed free ('bead broken') during rotation of the wheel. According to the invention this is achieved in a simple manner by mounting the wheel, standing in its upright position, onto a mounting head (10) on a spindle (8) which projects laterally from an upstanding chassis (6), which is thereafter tilted rearwardly about a lower edge, whereby the wheel is lifted off the floor. The chassis (6) stands on a base plate (2), which also carries a tyre bead breaker (26), and the bead breaking movement if effected in a simple manner by pivoting the chassis (6) while keeping the breaking tool (26) stationary. |
