Truck tire changers
Truck tire changers
Truck wheels are heavy, stiff and unforgiving of car-sized machinery. This family handles them with a self-centring chuck, a travelling tool carriage and hydraulic drive — from the XP-468 group at 14–26 inch rims to the XP-499A at up to 60 inches with extensions.

Why truck tyres need their own machine
A truck tyre changer does three things a car changer cannot: it grips the wheel through its centre hole on a self-centring chuck, it travels the bead-breaking disc and mounting tool along the wheel on a carriage, and it turns the whole assembly with hydraulic torque instead of a turntable motor. The operator works standing, with low-voltage pendant controls, while the machine takes the weight and the strain that make truck tyre work an injury risk when it is done with bars and a hammer.
The range divides by rim size. The XP-468 group covers 14–26 inch rims and wheels to 500 kg; the XP-498 group reaches 14–42 inches and 1,600 kg wheels; the XP-402 works a 14–27 inch clamping range; and the heavy-duty XP-499 and XP-499A close the family at 14–46 and 14–48 inches, extending to 56 and 60 inches, for wheels to 2,000 kg.

Checks before a truck-changer quote
- Your largest wheel diameter and widest tyre, from the fleet list rather than memory.
- Rim types: steel and alloy, and any centre-hole sizes outside the common range.
- Daily wheel volume at peak season — the changer's cycle is the bay's clock.
- Power supply and floor space for the machine's working footprint.
- Whether a truck balancer joins the purchase to complete the bay.
Questions buyers ask about truck tire changers
Can a truck changer handle car wheels?
The rim ranges reach down to 14 inches, but these machines are sized and priced for truck work; a mixed bay usually runs a car changer beside one. Ask in the inquiry for the honest pairing for your volumes.
Tubeless and tubed tyres both?
The demounting method differs; describe your tyre mix — super-single tubeless, conventional tubeless, or remaining tubed fitments — and ask for the tool configuration for that mix before you order.
How much room does it need?
The machine's footprint plus the wheel handling room around the chuck; take the overall dimensions from the heavy-duty page to measure against.
