KATOOL KT-308 Mobile Tire Changer - Heavy-Duty Truck and Car Tire Service
You've got a blown steer tire on a Class 8 rig parked at a job site 40 miles from your shop. Towing it back isn't an option, and the driver's losing money every hour that truck sits. The KATOOL KT-308 Mobile Tire Changer puts full hydraulic tire service capability right where you need it, so you can mount and demount heavy commercial, truck, agricultural, and industrial tires on location without hauling wheels back to the bay.
This isn't a lightweight portable unit you'll outgrow in six months. The KT-308 runs on a high-pressure hydraulic system delivering 1,885 psi of operating pressure, with 5,512 lb of clamping force to lock down wheels up to 1,653 lb. It handles rim diameters from 13" to 26" and wheel diameters up to 54.3", giving you coverage across everything from standard passenger vehicles to large commercial and off-road equipment. A 2.0 HP rotation motor drives bi-directional movement at 7 rpm for controlled bead work, while a separate 1.5 HP hydraulic pump powers the clamping and mounting functions.
The frame is built from Q235 and Q245 steel, reinforced for continuous field use where conditions aren't as forgiving as a climate-controlled shop floor. At 1,036 lb, it's heavy enough to stay stable under load but still mobile enough to position where the work is. A 24V control system keeps operation safer and more precise, and noise levels stay between 40 and 65 dB, which means you can run this unit on a customer's property without turning heads. When you buy from Garage Supply Guys, you get direct access to our team for support, parts sourcing, and freight coordination from day one.

Installation and Setup
The KT-308 requires a 400V, 3-phase power supply, so you'll need to confirm your service vehicle or job-site location has access to compatible power before deploying. The 24V control circuit runs off the main power supply, keeping the operator interface at a safer low voltage. With a footprint of 48" x 41" and a net weight of 1,036 lb, plan your positioning and transport accordingly. A forklift or similar equipment is recommended for offloading and repositioning the unit on site.
Applications
Service entire fleets on-site at depots and yards. Minimize vehicle downtime by handling tire changes where the trucks are parked instead of towing them to a shop.
Respond to blowouts and flats on highways and commercial routes. Full hydraulic power lets you break beads and mount tires roadside with the same control you'd have in your bay.
Handle heavy wheels from loaders, skid steers, and site vehicles. The 1,653 lb wheel weight capacity and 54.3" max diameter cover a wide range of off-road and industrial rubber.
Reach farms and remote properties where transporting heavy ag tires back to a shop isn't practical. Service tractors, combines, and utility vehicles right in the field.
