ATH-Heinl M52 M72 tyre changer service kit

The ATH-Heinl M52 M72 tyre changer service kit helps you prepare your equipment for intensive work during the autumn–winter season. In a tyre changer, the parts that wear most quickly are usually the protective components that come into contact with the rim, mounting head and clamping jaws.

The dedicated AZ WARSZTAT kit, article number ath-142, includes protective covers designed for ATH M52 and ATH M72 tyre changers. Their purpose is to reduce the risk of scratching alloy rims and damaging rim edges during tyre fitting and removal.

What does the ATH M52 and M72 tyre changer service kit contain?

The kit has been assembled for specific ATH-Heinl M-series tyre changer models. Instead of selecting individual ATH-Heinl tyre changer wear parts, you can replenish the main protective components of your workstation in one go.

The kit contains replacement inserts for the mounting head, covers for the clamping jaws and a rim edge protector. These components are exposed to abrasion and damage during everyday work.

• Two sets of mounting head covers.
• One set of four covers for the turntable clamps.
• One rim edge cover with a cord that makes working with the tyre lever easier.

It is not only the working components of a tyre changer that wear out, but also the polymer covers on the mounting head, clamping jaws and rim edge.

Why are covers for the ATH M52 and M72 tyre changer important?

Alloy rims require particular protection when tyres are fitted and removed. A worn or damaged cover may provide less effective protection for the rim surface, so it is worth checking its condition before the season begins.

In practice, you should inspect every point where a protective component contacts the rim or a tool. If you are looking for individual parts, you can also buy a rim cover for ATH-Heinl tyre changers.

• Check the covers before the season begins.
• Look for scuffing and cracks in the polymer components.
• Do not delay replacement if a component no longer protects the rim surface.
• Choose parts for the specific tyre changer model.

Checking the covers before the season is a simple part of servicing that helps protect alloy rims during everyday work.

Checking protective components before the season

It is worth servicing the tyre changer before the number of jobs increases. Alongside the pneumatic system and mechanisms, check the components that come directly into contact with the rim: mounting head inserts, jaw covers and the rim edge protector.

If you only need to replace selected components, you can choose a set of plastic covers for ATH M32, M52 and M72 tyre changers or a plastic cover for the ATH M32, M52 and M72 bead breaker lever. The right choice depends on which component is worn and what protection is missing from your workstation.

• Clean the protective components before assessing their condition.
• Check that the covers are securely seated.
• Compare the wear on components working on both sides of the workstation.
• Have replacement parts ready before intensive work begins.

One replacement kit for two ATH-Heinl models

The ATH-Heinl M52 M72 tyre changer service kit is designed for ATH M52 and ATH M72 models. This allows your workshop to prepare the key protective components without sourcing them separately.

This solution is particularly useful when the tyre changer is used intensively and you need to restore full rim protection quickly. Dedicated parts help maintain a consistent service standard and reduce the risk of complaints related to rim damage.

From workshop experience

The most common mistake is checking only the tyre changer’s mechanics while overlooking the plastic and polymer covers. If you can see scuffing, cracks or missing material, do not wait until a rim is damaged. Before the season, it is worth keeping a full set of protective parts at the workstation instead of looking for them when the workload is already high.
