Power, precision, & safety for heavy-duty operations: Komatsu Tyre Handlers

Managing oversized tyres in mining and heavy construction environment is no small task. Tyres weighing up to 10.5t and measuring 4m in diameter demand equipment that combines strength, precision and safety. That’s where Komatsu tyre handlers deliver unmatched performance.

Unrivalled capacity and versatility

Komatsu offers a wide lineup of tyre handlers capable of handling tyres for the largest mining vehicles. With forklift capacities ranging from 10t to 50t, ensuring operators can tackle even the most demanding tyre maintenance jobs. Special size and custom configurations are available, making these handlers adaptable to unique requirements.

Precision handling for maximum safety

Safety is paramount when dealing with tyres of such massive size. Komatsu tyre handlers feature multi-function hydraulic controls with six independent operations including lift, tilt, side-shift, 360° body rotation, clamp and pad rotation. This allows operators to position tyres with pinpoint accuracy — whether mounting assemblies over wheel hubs, aligning stud holes or stacking for storage. The ergonomic control layout ensures intuitive operation, reducing fatigue and enhancing confidence.

Built for harsh environments

Komatsu’s integrated design combines the rugged reliability of its heavy-duty forklifts with advance tyre handling technology. Features including wet disc brakes, hydraulic load-sensing valves and automatic greasing systems minimise maintenance costs while ensuring durability in extreme conditions. These machines are true workhorses, engineered to withstand the rigors of mining workshops and field operations.

Efficiency that drives profitability

By enabling a single operator to safely and efficiently manage oversized tyres, Komatsu tyre handlers significantly reduce downtime and labour costs. Faster tyre changes mean more uptime for haul trucks and earthmovers, directly impacting productivity and profitability. Combined with Komatsu’s 5-year/10,000-hour warranty, businesses gain peace of mine and long-term value. Safely change oversized tyres with a Komatsu tyre handler.
