Katool KT-TV910 – Truck Tire Changer (Hydraulic)
Truck Tire Changer – Katool KT-TV910 with remote control
Also known as: KT-TV910
The Katool KT-TV910 is a truck tire changer built for commercial fleet service. This electro-hydraulic truck tire changer handles rim diameters from 14 to 42 inches with a 4-jaw self-centering chuck that grips wheels up to 3,306 lb (1,500 kg). A remote control pedestal keeps operators at a safe distance during the 7,260 lb (3,293 kg) force bead-breaking cycle.
Features
Remote Control Operation for Truck Tire Changer Safety
Remote pedestal keeps operators clear of the 7,260 lb hydraulic bead breakerThe standalone control pedestal puts all hydraulic functions at your fingertips while keeping you away from the wheel assembly. A foot pedal starts the automatic cycle, engaging the hydraulic motor to drive the 4-jaw chuck rotation. The 2.2 kW (3 HP) power unit maintains consistent 130 bar working pressure through the entire mount/demount sequence. This setup eliminates manual strain from wrestling with truck sidewalls and reduces hand injury risk from slipped tire irons.
Wide Rim Coverage from 14 to 42 Inches
Self-centering chuck accommodates everything from light truck to agricultural wheelsThe 4-jaw self-centering chuck clamps rim diameters from 14" to 42" (355 mm to 1,067 mm) without adapters or jaw changes. This range covers standard pickup wheels through heavy agricultural and earthmover tires. The chuck jaws adjust hydraulically to center each wheel automatically, eliminating manual positioning guesswork. Maximum wheel diameter reaches 63" (1,600 mm), while the 31" (780 mm) width capacity handles super singles and flotation tires.
Hydraulic Bead Breaking Power
Hydraulic cylinder delivers 7,260 lb force to break stubborn tire beadsThe hydraulic bead breaker applies 7,260 lb (3,293 kg) of controlled force through a precision-machined disk and roller system. This power easily separates beads that have been seated for years or fused by heat cycling. The bead breaker blade geometry focuses pressure at the optimal angle to lift the bead without cutting into the tire carcass. A roller guide follows the rim contour during the breaking sequence, protecting both aluminum and steel wheels from contact damage.
Single-Phase Power for Shop Flexibility
220V single-phase operation eliminates three-phase wiring requirementsThe KT-TV910 runs on standard 220V, 60 Hz single-phase power, drawing 2.2 kW (3 HP) at full load. This electrical configuration works with existing shop wiring in most facilities without requiring three-phase panel upgrades. The motor provides consistent torque through the hydraulic pump to maintain 130 bar system pressure even when breaking tough commercial tire beads. Low-voltage control circuits keep operator interfaces at safe 24V levels, reducing shock hazard at the pedestal controls.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Fleet Service
1,375 lb machine weight provides stability for 3,306 lb wheel assembliesAt 1,375 lb (624 kg) net weight, the KT-TV910's welded steel frame absorbs forces generated during heavy truck tire service. The turntable assembly rides on sealed bearings rated for continuous commercial use with minimal maintenance. Tool head geometry follows European commercial tire changer standards, with hardened steel contact surfaces that resist wear from daily fleet operations. Every hydraulic fitting uses SAE-rated components with burst pressures exceeding 400 bar.

Applications
Commercial Fleet Service Centers
Fleet maintenance shops use the KT-TV910 for scheduled tire rotations and emergency roadside equipment repairs. The 14" to 42" rim range covers light-duty delivery vans through Class 8 semi-trucks in a single machine. Hydraulic operation speeds up high-volume tire programs where technicians service 20-30 assemblies per shift.
Agricultural Equipment Dealers
Farm equipment dealers rely on the 63" diameter capacity for tractor and combine tires. The 31" width accommodation handles flotation tires that distribute weight across soft soil. Remote operation keeps technicians safe when dealing with high-pressure agricultural assemblies.
Construction Equipment Service
Heavy equipment shops need the 3,306 lb weight capacity for loader and grader wheels. The 7,260 lb bead-breaking force handles tires that have been baked onto rims by brake heat. Single-phase power lets shops position the changer wherever 220V service exists.
Municipal Vehicle Maintenance
City and county garages service everything from pickup trucks to dump trucks with one machine. The self-centering chuck eliminates setup time between different wheel sizes. Low 70 dB(A) operation meets municipal workplace noise standards.
