Way to mount manual tire changer to garage

Jul 01, 2013 6 Replies

I am thinking of getting a manual tire changer. But I dont want to drill holes in my garage floor. Can anyone think og an ingenious way to mount it that does not require drilling into the floor but that would still allow it to work well?


Maybe a wood or metal platform that is then anchored into a side wall ??

6'x 6'x 3/4" thick steel plate should do it.

Here's some reviews on one.

Some anchored it to concrete. One used an old "fence panel." Another used an old pallet. It worked for everybody. I'd probably go with a 4'x4' piece of 3/4" plywood. Screw on a smaller piece to the 4'x4' if you think the lag screws need more depth to hold.

Get a large steel plate, lay out and drill for the mounting holes, countersink on the bottom side of the plate, and use flat head machine screws to mount to the plate?
