In this video, Mike Melton demonstrates two Hunter walk‑away tire service machines – the Road Force Balancer and the Revolution – highlighting their fully automated tire removal, mounting, inflation, and balancing processes. He walks through each step: bead‑breaking rollers, sensor‑guided duck‑head positioning, auto‑clamp protection, automatic hose release, and self‑balancing, all performed with minimal technician involvement. Melton emphasizes the operational advantages: reduced back‑strain, lower insurance claims, fewer staff needed, and protection against wheel scratches. He argues that these benefits drive more business, improve customer satisfaction, and quickly pay for themselves. Financing options are presented ($16/day for the Road Force Balancer, $29/day for the Revolution), reinforcing the claim that shops can afford the equipment and generate additional revenue per tire.

We're going to go over the brand new hunter equipment. These are both walkaway units. We're going to be over the road force balancer walk away. And the revolution walk away. Now this thing's got a wheel lift on it. Look, put it up here so you guys are not going to strain your back. It's going to save you on insurance. Yeah. Lifts the wheel up by itself. So right now this thing is changing the tire by itself. So come over and look. Right now you got your top roller breaking the bead and the bottom roller breaking the bead all by itself. As it rotates. That top roller is going to come down, bring the duckhead come to the wheel like I said. You see, it's not touching the face of that wheel at all. Now the duck head's coming down. Now it's going to position it with the sensor will never get broken. It's going to pull that up and now it's going to take it off. There's the top beam. Now it's going to rotate it around. It's going to position that sensor to the bottom roller where it's definitely not going to break a sensor. All without having a technician. Right? That's the biggest thing. It's going to save shops time and money without having that extra employee. Now we're going to show you. Look, if you put that on there, all you need is one employee and it's going to mount this thing up. It's all easy. The bottom went on there. Now we're going to the top. Now you see, all he's got is put on the pedal. That's it. It's all mounted by itself. Now all you got to do is put the valve core in there. Rollers gonn. Duckheads coming out. You going to set the inflation. So we set the inflation right here on the screen. Now this thing is center clamp. So you ain't got to worry about damaging any wheels at all. Now we're going to show you what the walkway road force balancer does. Now, as you see, the bead isn't seated. That ain't a problem with this machine right here. Let me show you. All right. Now he's going to use the wheel now so it saves you guys back, save your insurance. Put the auto clamp on there. Clamp it right in there. Now pull that down. Now here's the auto inflation system. He's gonna set it. Pull the hood down. Now this thing's going to inflate it to the desired placard that you put in There. So after it's done, it's gonna pull that hose off. Now, you see, it's counting down to how much air pressure you're putting in there. So now watch. I'm gonna sit here and there's nobody on it, nobody to pull that hose off. It's going to pull this hose off all by itself. While that guy's changing the tire. This right here is going to balance the tire. Why he's changing. Now, you see it pulled it off, started spinning by itself. Look, not a technician here at all. Now it's got the run force going off. It's doing all of this. Pulls up the hood by itself. You don't need an extra technician. So if you can't afford X technicians, hire you one or two guys and they can run both these machines and knock out some tires really quick. Now, a lot of shops think that they can't afford equipment like this, but you can't afford equipment like this. Let me show you exactly how. When you get a machine like this, this is what customers are wanting. Just having one of these machines is going to drive a ton of business to your shop. I'm proof of that. Not only this, customers love not having scratch wheels, so it pays for itself. You don't have to worry about scratching the wheels. Now, if you need financing, Hunter can always get you financed, like this one right here, the road source machine. $16 a day. Tell me you can't make an extra $16 a day to have improvements in your shop to make sure everything's getting done right the first time so you don't have comebacks. One comeback, boom. Pay for itself. Now, the Hunter Revolution machine. You can finance this thing. It's only 29 a day. Now, tell me there's no way for you to make $29 on one of these machines. There's no way. So, yes, you can't afford it. Don't look at that. Look what this machine will actually make you.
