Katool KT-T900 Hydraulic Center Post Tire Changer with Wheel Lift
Clamp jaws grip a wheel by its most visible surfaces β and on a $1,000 forged rim, one slip is an expensive apology.
The Katool KT-T900 clamps through the center bore instead: hydraulic center-post holding for 12β30 in wheels, with a built-in wheel lift and assist arm so heavy fitments never get muscled onto the table.

Clamped Where It Cannot Scratch
Center-post clamping holds the wheel through its hub bore β the one surface nobody sees. Painted, machined, and forged faces never meet a steel jaw, which is exactly why this style of machine lives in premium wheel shops.
The smart duckhead tool keeps the same philosophy at the bead: the tire is worked over the rim edge without metal touching the finish.
Hydraulics and a Lift Do the Heavy Part
The 1.1 kW hydraulic unit drives clamping and bead breaking with smooth, adjustable force, while the built-in wheel lift raises heavy assemblies from the floor to the table. A 26 in truck wheel arrives at working height without a tech's back involved.
Ergonomic foot pedals run the cycle hands-free at a controlled 6.8 r/min, all on a standard 110V single-phase supply with 116β145 psi shop air.
