Overview

The Katool KT-308 is a heavy-duty hydraulic tire machine engineered for commercial trucks, buses, fleet vehicles, and mobile tire service units. Powered by a fully electric hydraulic system with a 24V control unit, it requires no compressed air, delivering consistent performance in both shop and mobile environments. It handles wheels up to 54 inches (138 cm) in diameter and 750 kg in weight — well beyond the limits of standard automotive tire changers. A side-mounted hydraulic bead breaker, automatic horizontal clamping arm, and 7 RPM bi-directional claw rotation give technicians fast, safe, precise mounting and demounting with full control and visibility. Reinforced steel construction and low operating noise support long, demanding service cycles.
