What kind of tire mounting equipment do teams use? We want to buy one, but I'm not sure what to look for or what to call it even when I search.

Get motorcycle shops to do it if possible, car shops if not. The rims bend easily, and the sidewalls are damn stiff. Doing it manually or on old equipment can help you end up with taco rims. Even some mounters taco your rims, so make sure if you find a good one, you always go to them.

If you're going to do it yourself, a system that doesn't touch the rim is absolutely necessary.
