Change Heavy Equipment Tires Faster with Less Labor

Traditional methods of changing large tractor, loader, and industrial tires can require multiple workers, chains, straps, forklifts, and specialized lifting equipment.

TheTireGrabber hydraulic tire changer attachment provides a more controlled method of handling these heavy components.

Its extended-reach three-arm gripping system holds the tire securely while the operator positions it for removal or installation.

This design helps operators:

• Remove heavy tires from equipment

• Lift and transport tires within approved operating limits

• Align tires with wheel mounting locations

• Rotate and reposition tires during maintenance

• Reduce physical handling of oversized tires

• Improve tire storage and shop organization

• Complete tire maintenance with fewer personnel

For equipment dealerships, agricultural operations, fleet maintenance departments, and commercial tire shops, reducing the time required for tire changes can translate into lower labor costs and increased productivity.
