Can't give you any feedback but I would expect they would have to be bolted to the floor. I have seen one mounted on a bullbar ages ago - I didn't see it used in action. Another alternative would be a good, large, heavy tree stump I guess.
I am in the market for a tyre changing stand to make the job a bit easier at and at waist level instead of bending over.
Has anyone purchased one of these or a similar one?
If so I would be interested in any feed back about them.
Cheers, Mick.

I have one of the red ones. And yes they have to be bolted down. Have only installed one tyre with it so far but it sure beats using a rubber mallet and tyre levers. Main thing is to use a suitable tyre lube with it - definitely makes it easy.

you can also just build one.
a stack of progressively smaller rims to get the height a bar welded to the center (a rangie drive axle bolted to a hub thats then bolted to the top landrover rim works well to center that up) to give you the post
a landy stub axle and hub slid over the top and welded in place to give you the rotating head with a disc cut from a rim to give you the plate (again from a rangie or other landy)
depending on your spares stash it could cost you as little as $30

If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.
Thanks for the feedback gents.
I intend to bolt mine down to mother earth with a wheelbarrow full of
concrete as I don't need it to be transportable.
Blacknight I had considered knocking one up myself, but then just did a bit of looking around and I found that Supercheap have the SCA one which is similar to that red one for $96 (supposedly down from $137).

Have and used the red one with success. Sure beats mallet and tyre levers. Lux flakes and a dish mop work well as a lube.
Pallet idea sounds good

Have you guys tried wheels with modern "bloody tight" tires and safety lands on the wheels. I've found you can peel the bead down over the safety land ... but it pops back as it's so bloody tight... you need two bead breakers in a row to peel enough thread over the safety land so it stays displaced long enough to move your bead breaker further around the wheel and peel the next bit of bead down over the safety land etc...

As Shane says,the alloy landy wheels are tight due to their safety features.If you are buying it for landy alloys try one before you buy.
The tyre shops struggle with their gear and landy alloys.It should be fine for steel wheels.
