Tractor tyre Changer
A tractor tyre changer (or heavy-duty agricultural tyre changer) is a specialized electro-hydraulic machine built to handle the massive weight, large diameters, and deep treads of agricultural, OTR (off-the-road), and commercial vehicle tyres. Unlike standard car tyre changers, these units utilize high-power hydraulic clamping chucks and heavy-duty bead breaker discs to safely dismount stiff tyres without damaging large rims

Tractor tyre Changer
A tractor tyre changer (or heavy-duty agricultural tyre changer) is a specialized electro-hydraulic machine built to handle the massive weight, large diameters, and deep treads of agricultural, OTR (off-the-road), and commercial vehicle tyres. Unlike standard car tyre changers, these units utilize high-power hydraulic clamping chucks and heavy-duty bead breaker discs to safely dismount stiff tyres without damaging large rims
- Large Clamping Range: Accommodates large agricultural rims, typically starting at 14 inches and expanding up to 56 inches using optional extensions.
- High Weight and Dimension Capacity: Handles heavy wheel assemblies, often supporting tire diameters over 2.3 meters and weights exceeding 1.5 tons.
- Hydraulic Self-Centering Chuck: Utilizes a powerful four-jaw hydraulic chuck with multi-speed rotation to securely grip heavy rims without slipping or causing structural damage.
- Robust Bead Breaker: Features a high-force hydraulic or automated telescopic bead breaker to separate stubborn, rusted, or stiff agricultural beads.
- Remote or Mobile Control Console: Provides a suspended, movable control unit so a single technician can safely operate and monitor the process from a secure distance.
- Integrated Wheel Loading Lift / Board: Eliminates manual heavy lifting by using a built-in hydraulic loading ramp or carriage to position massive tractor tires onto the turntable.
- Safety Lock Valves: Includes non-return hydraulic valves on the chuck to prevent accidental release if a sudden drop in hydraulic pressure occurs
Specification
| Parameter | Specification Details |
|---|---|
| Control Unit Type | Mobile, low-voltage (24V) cable or wireless pendant Allows the technician to safely stand at various vantage points around the massive tire during operation. |
| Bead Breaker Force | 33,000 N – 45,000 N (3.3 – 4.5 tons) The hydraulic force applied by the disc tool to break loose tightly seized tire beads from rusted agricultural rims. |
| Operating Pressure | 50 – 140 bar (725 – 2,030 psi) The internal pressure setting of the hydraulic system powering the tool arm and clamping jaws. |
| Rim Clamping Range | 14" – 42" (up to 56" or 60" with extensions) Determines the minimum and maximum rim diameters the hydraulic jaws can physically secure. |
| Maximum Wheel Width | 1,050 mm – 1,300 mm (41" – 51") Dictates the maximum tire cross-section width the machine can service (critical for wide flotation or super-single tractor tires). |
| Maximum Wheel Weight | 1,500 kg – 1,800 kg (up to 3,000 kg for extreme duty) The heavy-duty lifting capacity of the hydraulic chuck arm to hold massive rear tractor wheels safely. |
| Specification Metric | Typical Range (Agricultural / Tractor) Why It Matters |
| Chuck Rotational Speed | 4 to 10 RPM (typically 2-speed options) Slower speeds offer higher torque for stubborn beads; faster speeds speed up the mounting process. |
| Maximum Wheel Diameter | 2,300 mm – 2,500 mm (90" – 98") The total permissible height of the fully inflated tire assembly that can fit within the machine's frame. |
| Power Supply Requirements | 400V / 3-Phase / 50-60Hz (Some 230V options) Industrial power configuration required to drive the high-torque electric-hydraulic systems. |
| Gearbox & Hydraulic Motor Power | 1.5 kW – 4.8 kW (approx. 2 to 6 HP) Separate heavy-duty electric motors are used to turn the chuck rotation and drive the hydraulic pump. |
