Why Zeppa?

Change Tires Easier

Zeppa makes the tire mounting and dismounting process easier, especially for stubborn or difficult tires.

Zeppa allows for quicker and more efficient bead breaking, and installation / removal of the tire, reducing the overall time spent on each tire.

Zeppa helps with:

• Breaking the Bead
• Preventing Damage
• Working with Stiff Sidewalls
• Improved Efficiency and Speed
• Improves Safety

Zeppa Bead Depressor

Your “third hand” for faster, safer tire mounting

Keep stubborn beads exactly where they belong. The Zeppa Bead Depressor locks under the rim to hold the tire bead in the drop center, reducing tension on the opposite side so low-profile, run-flat, and performance tires mount and demount smoothly.

Key benefits

• Faster jobs, fewer headaches: Maintain bead position in the drop center to ease mounting/demounting.
• Protects rims: Rigid polymer/nylon construction helps prevent accidental alloy rim damage.
• Safer, hands‑clear operation: Easy‑grip handle keeps fingers away from pinch points—no need to hold a tire bar in place.
• Works with your machine: Compatible with most swing-arm and tilt-back tire changers, including Accu-Turn, Bosch, and Hofmann.

How it works

• Clips/locks under the rim flange
• Holds the bead at the wheel’s lowest point (the drop center)
• Prevents bead “walk-up” as the wheel turns, minimizing sidewall stress and lever effort

Built for busy shops

• Durable reinforced polymer construction
• Contoured edge grips securely during rotation
• Replaces hand-held bars for consistent, repeatable results
• Perfect for: tire shops, performance garages, and any technician who wants speed, safety, and spotless rims.
