The Cascade Tyre Handler is a powerful attachment capable of handling large equipment tyres weighing up to 16 tons and measuring 4 meters in diameter. For over 40 years Cascade has been refining the design of the Tyre Handler to bring you a feature packed attachment at the top of it's class. With the ability to sideshift, clamp, rotate and tilt a tyre forward and backward, the Tyre Handler makes quick work of changing the large OTR (off the road) tyres commonly used in the mining industry.

Designed with the operator in mind, the Cascade Tyre Handler's superior visibility makes changing tyres on large equipment faster and easier than ever before. Automatic fall back arms pioneered by Cascade are now a featured option on all tyre handler models. These Fall Back Arms prevent the tyre from falling onto the tyre fitter while they're changing the tyre inside the so-called "crush zone". This important safety feature is where Cascade stands out from the competition. Another important safety feature of the Tyre Handler is an over-pressure valve, which will relieve excess clamp pressure if the tyre is inflated while clamped in the attachment.

The Cascade Tyre Handler can come equipped with a fully programmable single joy-stick system that can be used to operate all functions of the attachment. Quick-release pads allow the operator to efficiently change the contact pads specifically designed for handling tires, chain covered tires, or the rim only. The specialty chain pad protects the hard-forged links on tyre chains used in mines.

The Tyre Handler attachment also features:

• Cascade-designed hydraulic valve features flow dividers for the clamp arms and pad rotation and allows easy access to cartridges and test points
• Steel tubes run from the valve to clamp cylinders to avoid accidental tyre unclamping due to a ruptured hose
• Arm slide bearings do not require lubrication and designed with a service life of over 10,000 hours. Bearings are shimmed, which allows simple adjustment of arm clearances
• Lightweight arms use high tensile steel resulting in increased capacity
• Easy service access to cylinders, fall back arms and drive boxes
• Wet lubrication is limited to the slew, pad and spherical bearings.

Put all these leading-edge design and safety features together and Cascade's Tyre Handler emerges as the perfect product for the challenging task of handling all your over-sized tyre needs.
