We are currently advising the Forensic labs in London on the best equipment that suits their unique requirements. They regularly have to deal with wheels that have been severely damaged in accidents. We supplied them with a [Giuliano S225] as this machine met their criteria for a reasonably priced, strong machine that can be fitted with accessories that will assist them with the removal of low profile tyre's from damaged alloy wheels. This had to be done without causing additional damage to the wheel. This was achieved by the fitting of nylon jaw covers and the patented Giuliano interchangeable mounting head system.
