The Corghi AM500 ARTIGLIO 500 represents the next generation of leverless tire changing technology, engineered for shops that demand speed, safety, and versatility. Featuring the revolutionary second-generation "Leva La Leva" (Without Lever) technology, this automatic tire changer handles passenger vehicles, SUVs, and commercial vehicle wheels up to 32" with unmatched efficiency. Built on the proven foundation of the Artiglio 50, the AM500 takes performance to new heights with advanced technical innovations including a dynamic bead breaking device with dual specular bead breaker disc, a redesigned head group, enhanced wheel support plate clamping, and a reinforced structure that ensures durability under demanding shop conditions.
This machine is designed with ergonomics and control availability at its core, allowing operators to work faster and more confidently without risk to wheels or rims—even during the most challenging tire demounting and mounting operations. The AM500 delivers true universality: every feature is accessible and usable, making it a complete solution for modern tire service operations handling everything from low-profile and run-flat tires to high-performance and off-road assemblies.
The AM500 features a multifunctional control console that consolidates all operating controls in one intuitive interface. The console is ideal for dynamic bead breaking and for rim and tire match mounting, thanks to the inclusion of two dual control discs that provide precision and responsiveness. Operators can execute complex tire service tasks with minimal physical effort, allowing faster turnaround times and reducing fatigue during high-volume service days.
Safe and universal wheel clamping ensures secure holding of wheels across a wide range of sizes and styles, while the electric-only operation provides consistent, reliable performance with 110V / 1PH / 50 Hz power and 130 psi air requirements. The machine's compact footprint—83" H x 63" W x 67" D—and 838 lbs. weight make it suitable for shops with space constraints while maintaining robust construction and stability.
Every AM500 includes the Standard Bead Pressing Tool (#8-11100221), a critical accessory for working with low-profile, run-flat, high-performance, and off-road wheel and tire assemblies. This tool ensures controlled bead seating and demounting on tires that require extra care, protecting both the tire and the wheel from damage during service. It's an essential component for shops that service a diverse range of vehicles and tire types.
The AM500 comes equipped with an extensive array of standard accessories to handle virtually any tire service scenario right out of the box. This comprehensive package includes:
This complete accessory set ensures that your shop is prepared to service everything from compact passenger car wheels to large light truck assemblies without needing to purchase additional components. Note: Installation and training are provided with the purchase of all new machines except select entry-level models.
