Katool KT-T160 Frequently Asked Questions
What wheels does the KT-T160 truck tire changer handle?
The KT-T160 handles commercial rims from 14 to 26 inches — the range that covers most trucks, buses, and heavy commercial vehicles. Its automatic operation and hydraulic power take the manual labor out of wheels that would fight a standard machine.
What power does the KT-T160 require?
It runs on 220V single-phase power with a 1.5KW (2.0 HP) pump motor and a 2.2KW (3.0 HP) gearbox motor, generating working pressure up to 130 bar. Confirm your shop has a 220V circuit before ordering — call us if you are unsure.
Do I need a dedicated heavy duty tire changer for truck tires?
Yes — commercial truck tires exceed the clamp strength, torque, and physical capacity of passenger-car machines. A heavy duty tire changer like the KT-T160, with its low-voltage electric controls and 1,257 lb frame, is built to hold and turn those assemblies safely.
Is the KT-T160 automatic?
Yes — it features automatic operation with a low-voltage electric control system, so the machine does the clamping and turning work while the operator guides the process. That means faster changes and less physical strain on your techs.
Which truck tire changer should I choose?
The KT-T160 covers standard commercial truck work to 26-inch rims. For oversized equipment — tractors, earth-movers, wheels up to 42-inch rims and 3,300 lb tires — step up to the KT-TV910 hydraulic truck tire changer. The Triumph NTC-650 is the alternative heavy-duty pick in the lineup.
Do you offer commercial or fleet quotes?
We do. The KT-T160 ships by freight at 1,257 lbs — call (470) 208-2754 for freight options and a commercial quote for your shop or fleet facility.
