It makes the mechanic’s job easier and more ergonomic, creates space in the vehicle to store more tires or equipment and does not require a generator onboard, which means no fumes or noise pollution. Even with its compact and lightweight design the ECUBE makes no compromises on functionality and robustness, it is still capable of changing tires from 10 inches to 24 inches. Each ecube comes equipped with the following features:

  • Accessories and options included with the Gen. 4 ecube

For years tire shops and vehicle outfitters have been attempting to find a way to make mobile tire service a viable option for adapting to the on-demand consumer revolution. This has proven difficult due to the size of traditional equipment. After installing a tire changer, balancer, air compressor, and more in a van or trailer, there is very little room left for inventory or other revenue-generating equipment. There are also other problems with this approach, including managing noise levels as well as the challenge of effectively powering the machines needed for proper servicing. Our ecube aims to solve these problems once and for all. The ecube was designed from the ground up to be the ultimate mobile tire service solution. It comes equipped with a semi-automatic tire changer, wheel balancer, silenced air compressor and is powered by a Lithium-Ion battery bank. All of this fits in a compact form factor that measures 59in long 22in wide and 73.25in tall while only weighing 990lbs. Because of its size, the ecube is small enough to fit in a van or trailer while still allowing space for tire racks, jacks, safety equipment, and more. The ecube makes the challenges of mobile tire service a thing of the past. Learn More The purchase of an ecube comes with full installation service and personalized training. Interested?
