The duckhead is uniquely shaped, like a tapered bill, to fit next and surround the rim of a wheel.

The vertical slide moves up and down so that the duck head can fit onto the rims of different size wheel widths.

The vertical slide has a spring and locking handle above the swing arm to set the duckhead and maintain a stable position around the rim.

The air inflation gauge displays the pressure in pounds per square inch (psi).

[2] The table top and rim clamps hold and rotate the wheel to mount or dismount a tire.

[2] Each rim clamp can be adjusted closer or further away from the center of the table top to accommodate smaller or larger wheels.

There is a shovel shaped metal piece at the end of the arm called the bead loosener shoe.

Across from the shovel shaped metal piece, there are rubber squares to protect the wheel from scratches during the loosening procedure.

Motorcycle tire changers mainly provide a simple bead loosening system and rim clamps powered manually.

However, now, bigger versions of the heavy-duty tire changers are designed to mount/demount tires up to 95 inches (2.4 m) in diameter and also feature a hydraulically operated self-centering four-jaw chuck with clamping jaws that can clamp from 14 to 58 inches (0.36 to 1.47 m) either from the wheel’s inside or from the center bore.

[6] Higher volume producers typically utilize specialized tire and wheel mounting and inflation equipment which is partially or fully automated.
