OTR Tyre Press
Powerpress for OTR (off-the-road) tyre changing, Powerworks offers a range of heavy duty OTR tyre presses which are recognised worldwide as being the safest and fastest method of demounting, mounting and inflating large tyres as fitted to mining vehilces and earth moving machinery. Requiring only one operator, this fully self contained OTR tyre press will demount tyres from 3 and 5 piece rims quickly and safely, regardless of the rim’s rusted or corroded condition, without damage to the expensive rim sets. The OTR tire press carrier rolls out hydraulically from the tire press frame and the OTR tyre and rim are placed on the carrier. The demounting and mounting process is then carried out completely within the press with the control levers or radio remote control. There are no jacks, bead breakers, sledgehammers, crowbars or blow torches required. For tyre and rim assembly the press frame is set up to become a safety cage for tyre inflation. No other method of tyre changing offers this highly important safety feature. Our Powerpress OTR Tyre Press is manufactured by Powerworks Pty Ltd in South Africa.
