About East Iowa Equipment Systems

Corghi Logo

East Iowa Equipment Systems is excited to become a Corghi Factory Authorized Sales and Service partner based locally here in eastern Iowa. We felt the time is right for the local wheel service markets to gain additional options when it comes to wheel service equipment that is known for its top quality, manufactured by a 70 year old Italian corporation, a world leader in this market, providing the very best warranty bar none, and at factory direct availability, offering price points geared to better ROI numbers. In addition, Corghi is the industry standard in the Agriculture and HD Truck markets, offering the very best equipment to this rapidly growing sector.

Both brands get the job done — but one might be a better fit for your shop (and your wallet).

Corghi vs. "Brand X"

Both brands get the job done, but one might be a better fit for your shop — and your wallet.

You want the facts. Here's a side-by-side breakdown of the two biggest names in the tire machine industry. Brand X may be the dealership default, but Corghi gives you some serious bang for your buck, especially if you're looking for high quality options with long-term value, performance and local East Iowa support.

Corghi Wheel Service Equipment

  • Touchless technology — The Artiglio line has been the world standard in lever-less and no-contact, touchless systems since its introduction to the world market in 2002.
  • More value for the price — Comparable features to Brand X, often thousands of dollars less.
  • Trusted worldwide — In European dealerships and shops like BMW, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Porsche, as well as many dealerships and shops in the U.S.
  • Easy to buy and support — Distributed in the USA with OEM parts, service, training, and supplies readily available.
  • Shop friendly — Several models are very "floor space" friendly.
  • Largest lineup of Ag, HD truck, and OTR changers available — Hands down, the finest machines offered, the top choice for Co‑ops, Ag, and HD truck shops in the USA.
  • The top warranty in the industry — 1 year labor, 3 years components, and 10-year transmission (rim clamp models).
  • Brand X and others — Utilize Corghi patented components and consumables in their machines.

Cons: Like all equipment, some models can have an initial learning curve. Support levels can depend on your local dealer. Manuals can read a bit "European."

Brand "X"

  • Built like a tank — Of course, made in Italy.
  • Integrated systems — Strong focus on alignment, balancing, and ADAS systems.
  • Dealer network — On-site installation, training, and service through independent contractors.
  • Brand reputation — Known as the premium name in the industry.
  • Estimated 17 models available — An estimated 15 of them built in Italy and labeled "Brand X."
  • Hard to buy — Factory Brand X sales reps are usually involved in the pricing; no online estimated pricing available.

Cons: High price tags. Proprietary everything, harder to comparison shop, sold mostly through Brand X factory reps.

Which brand is right for you?

In many high-volume dealerships, Brand X may be a better fit, especially if you're currently tied to their alignment or ADAS systems. But if you want premium quality, cutting-edge tire equipment at lower, transparent pricing that meets or exceeds Brand X, from the guys that wrote the book on rim clamp and touchless equipment, you'll want to look at Corghi.
