ETT'S TH4500 Tire Handler provides fast, safe and reliable operation. With safety at the forefront of ETT’s product design, it’s no wonder that there is an array of safety features and redundancy systems in place to ensure a safe working environment for the operator, as well as the mechanics working near the tire being moved.

Making light work of tire replacement in confined spaces, ETT’s Tire Handler range gets the job done safely and efficiently. Strong and agile, our tire handlers are designed to carry a wheel weight up to 4500 kilograms.

The optional safety arms will protect personnel in event of unintentional tire release. These are deployed remotely to ensure no personnel is put in harm’s way.

Once deployed, the operator can grab the tire and a qualified technician, or personnel can safely remove the wheel nuts.

A series of automatic interlocks are integrated into the control system, ensuring there is no accidental release of the tire. This includes holding valves on grab cylinders and software interlocks.

The remote controller is easy to use and intuitive to operate and is designed with software safety interlocks. Years of exhaustive and demanding testing have shown that the remote-control system can cope with the roughest of environments.

The system is also protected against electromagnetic and radio frequency radiation. The remote controller is also fitted with a safety emergency stop function.

The Low-Profile Grabs on the ETT Tire Handlers allow working in confined wheel wells such as articulated trucks.

Tire pitch and roll can be precisely adjusted using the intuitive remote-control system, allowing the operator to easily align the tire for installation. Tire pitch is manipulated through powerful and accurate hydraulic motors coupled to the rotator pads. Tire roll is achieved through rotating the entire grab assembly with a hydraulic cylinder.

Optimized clamping force for safe and effective tire clamping. Grip studs on tire clamping surfaces ensure effective tire clamping with zero tire damage.

The claw arm kinematics are designed with a mechanical parallel linkage system which ensures that the clamping force is always symmetrical and accurate. The tire handler assembly is constructed from high tensile steel and is fully blasted and painted, ensuring high durability and long-lasting quality in the most extreme mining environments.

The crane truck tire handler is ideally suited for cases where the tire needs to be transported by road over longer distances. Tires can be loaded on the truck flat deck and installed on site. The crane truck tire handler is deigned to be road legal with an overall height of 4.6 yards / 4.2 metres when the crane is resting in the transport configuration.

The ultra low-profile Remote Skidsteer combines simplicity and functionality in a robust, ultra-low package to offer a complete solution for under-conveyor and/or culvert cleaning. Packed with features to enhance operational efficiency and operator safety, the low-profile design maneuvers comfortably in confined spaces where headroom is limited.

Designed from the ground up, the low-profile design is exceptionally stable due to the low center of mass, while the intuitive remote-control system allows for effortless operator navigation, enhancing the operator’s safety. Radio control with intuitive operation offers many safety features, which include audible warnings, limp mode or restricted operation and if necessary, automatic shutdown.

The Remote Skidsteer is driven by four independent wheel drive motors and a spring-applied wet parking brake on all four wheels. Unparalleled packaging provides best in class accessibility for maintenance, and quick and easy servicing. The optional quick-attach device and additional auxiliary hydraulic functions present a great variety of attachments, both static and driven.

Fully programmable control system using ETT’s CAN-BUS technology. This allows features such as engine stall prevention, and automatic fast commute, among others. The efficiency of the diesel engine offers eight-hour run time, with an optional long range fuel tank available for 12-hour continuous operation. The fuel efficient three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine and load sensing hydraulic drive and work functions provide exceptional fuel efficiency, reliability and long component life.
