Essential Equipment in a Mobile Setup
You can design your mobile service or alloy wheel repair trailer any way you like depending on which types of wheel repairs you want to offer in your setup.
Here are the essential machines that we recommend for on-site wheel repair:
Diamantdoorslijpmachine
One of the most used machines in a mobile setup is the Diamond Cut machine. This machine uses a diamond cut tip to bring alloy wheels back to OEM standard. Why it works in a mobile setup:
Mobile-ready design: Compact and light enough to be installed in a van, yet robust enough for professional results.
Laser probing: Provides ultra-precise wheel shape analysis in just one minute.
Fast turnaround: Restores a wheel in as little as 15 minutes.
With or without tires: Saves time by repairing wheels without removing the tire first.
Electro-Hydraulic Wheel Straightener
The Electro-Hydraulic Wheel Straightener restores bent or buckled rims quickly and safely. Instead of replacing costly OEM alloys, this machine brings them back to standard. Here’s why it is perfect in a mobile setup:
Mobile-friendly footprint: Compact enough for vans and trailers, while handling rims up to 26”.
High precision: Hydraulic power applies controlled force to eliminate flat spots and warps.
Customer value: Saves drivers money compared to costly replacements.
Fast ROI: High demand for straightening ensures a quick return on investment.
Tire Bead Breaker
Quick access to damage is key in mobile repair, and the Tyre Bead Breaker machine makes it effortless. This compact machine allows technicians to separate the tyre from the rim in seconds. Here’s why it’s indispensable on the road:
Compact and portable: Designed for easy transport and setup.
Time-saving: Fast bead breaking without a full tyre changer.
Versatile: Works with painted, polished, or diamond-cut wheels.
Ideal for mobile pros: Keeps jobs moving quickly and efficiently on-site.
Scaling Your Mobile Workshop
One of the biggest advantages of a mobile wheel repair business is flexibility. You can start small and expand as demand grows.
Most mobile setups begin with the essentials: a Diamond Cut Machine, Wheel Straightener, Tire Bead Breaker, and consumables such as the Wheel Paint System en the Universal Spare Wheel. These fit comfortably into a van or compact trailer, giving you the ability to handle the majority of wheel repairs on-site.
For larger mobile workshops, adding a Blasting Cabinet can be a game-changer. It speeds up wheel preparation, boosting efficiency for high-volume operations. Because of its size and weight, though, it’s best suited in a large trailer or van, where the weight of the machines is no problem.
Want to Start a Mobile Alloy Wheel Repair Business?
A mobile alloy wheel repair business is one of the most flexible and scalable opportunities in the automotive industry.
You can build a top-of-the-line setup with every machine and tool to handle any type of wheel damage on-site, or you can keep it simple with a smaller system focused on a single repair service.
Either way, we’ll guide you through every step of the process. We can help you launch a profitable wheel repair business that brings professional wheel repair directly to your customers at dealerships, body shops, or even in their driveways.
