Mobile Tyre Fitting Van setup

[RyanTR]

Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on setting up my van to do mobile tyre fitting. I am a tyre fitter and I have have some spare machinery that I want to fit into my van. I have a spare tyre changer, balancer and Compressor (all these were being used at my garage before I upgraded). My question is, what is the best power source for these in the van? Do I get a generator or an inverter with batteries? If I get the latter, what kind of inverter and how many batteries are needed to power all the equipment? I will appreciate any assistance in this.
Many thanks

NOTE: I should add the tech info as follows:
Tyre changer - 220V/50HZ
Balancer - 230V/50HZ
Compressor- 230V

Mobile tyre fitting vans are usually run on batteries with an inverter and split charging system.
Maybe worth a word with a company called on board power as they make most of the mobile tyre fitting vans for the likes of ats,kwik fit mobile,tyres on the drive amongst others.
If you look on line can usually pick up one of their old vans for decent money.
Ex rac mobile tyre fitting vans were knocking about for sale fully set up jacks the lot ready to work

Thanks, for the response. I’ll look up the company and see if I can chat to them.
The reason I wanted to set this up was because I have a long wheel base van and all the equipment so thought why not give it a go since it’s all just lying around. Wasn’t really looking to get another van but no harm in checking them out

I’ve just updated the description with the voltage on the machines as follows:
Tyre changer 220V/50HZ,
Balancer 230V
Compressor 230V.
Does that change anything?

Why would just the voltage be relevant to anything? Do you understand any of the basics of how electrickery works?

Clearly not; that’s why I’m here! I’m just your average tyre fitter
