ESCO 10103 Giant Tire/Earth Mover Bead Breaker for 39" Rims and Larger
The ESCO 10103 Giant Tire Bead Breaker is a heavy-duty hydraulic tool engineered for breaking beads on large earth mover, mining, and OTR tires with rim sizes from 39" up to 63". Part of the ESCO Professional Bead Breaker Series - trusted in the tire service industry for over 30 years - this unit delivers 25 tons of ram force at up to 10,000 PSI with a 6" stroke. Weighing just 54 lbs and measuring 16.5" x 6.5", the 10103 is built for demanding jobsite use on 5-piece rims. For best results, pair with the ESCO Model #10504 air/hydraulic pump (sold separately).
ESCO 10103 Features
25-Ton Hydraulic Ram
The ESCO 10103 delivers 25 tons of bead-breaking force with a maximum operating pressure of 10,000 PSI. This high-capacity ram provides the power needed to unseat stubborn beads on large earth mover and OTR tires without damaging the rim or tire components.
Multi-Size Rim Compatibility
Engineered to work across five large rim sizes - 39", 45", 51", 57", and 63" - the 10103 eliminates the need for multiple dedicated tools. A single bead breaker handles the full range of giant tire applications found in mining, construction, and heavy equipment operations.
5-Piece Rim Design
Purpose-built for 5-piece rim assemblies, the 10103 applies force at the correct angle and position to safely and efficiently separate the bead from multi-piece rim components. This targeted approach reduces the risk of rim damage and speeds up the tire change process.
6-Inch Stroke
A generous 6" (152mm) stroke length provides ample travel to fully break the bead in a single pass on most tire and rim combinations. The extended stroke reduces the number of repositioning cycles needed, saving time on every tire service.
Convertible to Model #10103L
With the optional Model #10627 Conversion Kit, the 10103 can be upgraded to the 10103L configuration for enhanced performance on 63" rims. This modular design protects your investment and adapts to your fleet as equipment needs change.
Compact and Portable
At just 54 lbs (25 kg) and measuring 16.5" x 6.5" (419mm x 165mm), the 10103 is field-portable for on-site tire service. Its manageable size allows technicians to transport it to the equipment rather than bringing the equipment to the shop.
ESCO 10103 Applications
- Mining Equipment Tire Service: Break beads on large haul trucks, loaders, and mining vehicles equipped with 39" to 63" rims. The 25-ton ram handles the heavy bead seating pressures common in mining tire applications.
- Earth Mover and Construction Equipment: Service tires on scrapers, graders, articulated dump trucks, and wheel loaders used in construction and earthmoving operations. Designed for the 5-piece rims standard on this class of equipment.
- OTR Tire Shops: Dedicated off-the-road tire service facilities benefit from the 10103's multi-size versatility, reducing tool inventory while covering a wide range of customer equipment.
- Fleet Maintenance Operations: In-house maintenance teams for mining, quarry, and heavy construction fleets can perform tire changes on-site, minimizing equipment downtime and eliminating the need for external service calls.
- Field and Roadside Tire Service: At 54 lbs, the 10103 is portable enough for mobile tire service trucks to carry to remote job sites, breakdown locations, and pit areas where large equipment cannot be easily moved.

ESCO 10103 Setup and Operating Requirements
Hydraulic Pump Required
Recommended Pump: ESCO Model #10504 Air/Hydraulic Pump (sold separately). The pump must be capable of delivering up to 10,000 PSI to achieve the full 25-ton ram force. Ensure all hydraulic connections are secure and free of leaks before operation.
Initial Bead Breaking
Two-Step Process: In some cases, an initial bead breaker such as the ESCO Model #10105 or Model #10100 is used first to start the bead-breaking process. The 10103 is then used to complete the job. Always follow the recommended sequence for your specific tire and rim combination.
Work Area Requirements
Stable Surface: Position the tire assembly on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting the weight of the tire and rim. Clearance: Ensure adequate working space around the tire for safe positioning and operation of the bead breaker. Follow all OSHA and facility safety guidelines for tire service operations.
Safety and Training
Only trained technicians familiar with multi-piece rim tire service procedures should operate this tool. Always follow ESCO operating instructions and OSHA guidelines for servicing multi-piece rim wheels. Wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses, gloves, and steel-toed boots.
