Katool KT-308 Mobile Tire Changer

KT-308 Mobile Tire Changer for Truck & Car Tires

Servicing large truck, agricultural, and industrial tires in the field can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive when equipment must be transported back to a shop. Standard tire changers often lack the capacity, mobility, and hydraulic power needed for heavy-duty commercial tire service applications.

The Katool KT-308 Mobile Tire Changer is engineered to bring professional tire service directly to the job site. Featuring a powerful hydraulic operating system, 5,512 lbs. of clamping force, and support for wheels weighing up to 1,653 lbs., the KT-308 allows technicians to mount and demount large truck, agricultural, construction, and industrial tires efficiently and safely. Its mobile design eliminates unnecessary transportation downtime while delivering the durability and performance required for demanding field service environments.

Built with industrial-grade steel construction, bi-directional hydraulic rotation, and a low-voltage 24V control system, the KT-308 combines mobility, precision, and heavy-duty capability into one professional tire changing solution. Whether servicing commercial fleets, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, or roadside truck repairs, this machine provides reliable performance where it is needed most.

Forklifts and Lift Gates

All of our Single Post, 2 Post, and 4 Post Lifts* require a forklift (or similar) to unload.  Tire Changers and Balancers and other small items allow for a lift gate service (At no additional charge) Lift gate service will lower your order to street level.  How do I know if a forklift is required? See the drop down options that show when you're attempting to place an order. 

What if I don't have a forklift at my location and my order requires it?

This is a common question and here's some alternatives:

• We can deliver to a local freight terminal near you.  Typically this is within 30-60 minutes away depending on location.  We will find a location - Contact Us
• Do you have a buddy that owns a forklift and we can ship it there?  Does your place of work have a forklift?  Select this location as the delivery address. 
• Warehouse pickup - This is always an option but depends how far you're willing to drive. 
• Rent a forklift - This is the least favorable option but may be necessary.  We always schedule the delivery so this should minimize the days required to rent.

Can I hand unload my order if I don't have a forklift? 

No, sorry, the truck drivers don't allow for this.  2 things: Liabilities and the time it takes to unload - truck drivers can't wait, even if you have an army of help. 

How do I know if my order requires a forklift or if a lift gate service is available?

Freight Terminals

If you don't have a forklift at your location, we can find you a freight terminal in your area and they will load your trailer onsite.  (Typically 30-60 minute drive away, depending on location) Special note: Some orders are so large they ship on a flatbed by themselves, in these cases a freight terminal delivery is not an option.  The product page will state whether this is the case.
