Hofmann monty® 8700 smartSpeed Tire Changer
Heavier wheel-and-tire assemblies on top of already-demanding low-profile and UHP tire work wear technicians down fast, and lever-style changers still risk scuffing the expensive alloy wheels those tires ride on. The Hofmann monty® 8700 addresses both: the powerMONT™ leverless system protects wheel finishes with no traditional lever contact, and a built-in powered wheel lift reduces technician fatigue on back-to-back heavier jobs.
The monty® 8700 and its sibling, the monty® 8200S, share the same smartSpeed™ and powerMONT™ core technology, but the 8700 adds an integrated wheel lift and reaches a 47" max wheel diameter versus the 8200S's 44". That premium costs roughly $8,400 more ($20,198.22 vs. $11,776.97), which makes sense specifically for shops running enough volume on heavier assemblies that the built-in lift saves real technician wear and tear.
Who the monty® 8700 Is Built For
- High-volume shops running heavier wheel-and-tire assemblies where a built-in powered lift meaningfully reduces technician fatigue across a full shift.
- Bays specializing in low-profile, run-flat, and UHP tires that need both wheel-finish protection and reduced lever contact — the powerMONT™ leverless system delivers both.
- Shops that need the largest max wheel diameter in the smartSpeed™ lineup — 47" versus the 8200S's 44" — for slightly larger performance wheel-and-tire packages.
- Operations running 230V single-phase power looking for the premium leverless option with integrated lift assist included.
- Shops that want pneumatic bead pressing plus top-side bead seating together to cut manual steps and strain per tire on tough UHP sidewalls.
- Owners who've already run a leverless changer and want the next step up — same core technology, plus the lift the 8200S doesn't offer.
What the monty® 8700 Is NOT Built For
If your shop is on a tighter budget and doesn't need the built-in wheel lift, the 8700's premium isn't worth paying. The Hofmann monty® 8200S delivers the same core smartSpeed™/powerMONT™ technology for less.
What Makes the monty® 8700 Different
smartSpeed™ Technology
Automatically adjusts rotational speed and torque for improved control on the toughest run-flat and UHP tire jobs.
powerMONT™ Leverless System
Simplifies mounting and demounting while helping protect wheel finishes — critical for shops running high-end alloy wheels daily.
Integrated Wheel Lift
Built-in powered lift assists with heavier wheel-and-tire assemblies, reducing technician fatigue on back-to-back UHP jobs — the 8200S doesn't have this.
Pneumatic Bead Pressing + Top-Side Bead Seating
Controls difficult sidewalls, then seats beads fast with a rapid air burst — fewer manual steps and less strain per tire.
Center-Post Clamping Design
Secure wheel positioning and improved operational stability on low-profile tires, protecting the wheel finish throughout the job.
- High-volume shops needing built-in wheel-lift assist
- Bays needing the largest smartSpeed™ wheel capacity
- Budget-conscious shops that don't need a lift
- Lower-volume bays where the 8200S is sufficient
