Need 220V for Vertical? Yes, you can! But it costs 5,000 Baht more to change the motor.
How strong is the air pump?
Model QT-EPC: It uses 8-10 bars of air. It only needs a little air to lift the tire.

Horizontal Models (QT-EPC, QT-BPHC): We recommend placing a rubber mat on the machine floor. This prevents the wheel face from hitting the metal surface, which most professional tire shops already do to keep the wheels safe.
Does it have an automatic wheel lock?
