The KT-T855 adds something a conventional machine does not have: a \u003cstrong\u003evertical press shovel that comes down on the tire from directly above with 2,500 kg (5,511 lbs) of force\u003c\/strong\u003e. That single mechanism is why this machine exists. A stiff sidewall, a run-flat, a hardened old cover or a wide low-profile tire on a tight rim resists sideways pressure and gives up to downward pressure, and the press applies that pressure straight through the centre of the wheel where the machine and the rim can both take it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe practical result is less fighting. The operator positions the wheel, drops the shovel and lets the machine do the work, rather than levering, re-setting and levering again on a tire that has already refused once. Force applied vertically and centrally also puts less twisting load into the clamp arms, which is the part of a changer that wears out or bends when it is asked to do bead-breaking work it was not designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTwo tire size figures to confirm before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished figures for the KT-T855's maximum tire size differ, and both readings are printed on this page beside the source that gives them. The product overview and the spec metafield list the \u003cstrong\u003emaximum tire diameter as 43.3 in (1,100 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e; the specification table on this page lists \u003cstrong\u003e38 in (980 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e. Maximum tire width is listed as 12.8 in in one place and as 12 in in the other, both against the same 325 mm figure. \u003cstrong\u003eIf your largest regular tire sits anywhere near either limit, confirm the current figures with us in writing before you order\u003c\/strong\u003e — we will get them straight from Katool.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe clamping ranges are not affected: 12 in to 24 in gripping from the outside, and 14 in to 28 in supported from the inside. Those two ranges are what actually decide day-to-day whether a wheel goes on the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat your shop needs to run it\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis machine needs two services, not one, and both are the buyer's responsibility to have in place before it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eElectrical.\u003c\/strong\u003e 110V at 60 Hz. That is an ordinary single-phase supply rather than the heavier circuit a lot of shop equipment of this force demands, which makes the KT-T855 unusually easy to site.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCompressed air.\u003c\/strong\u003e The vertical press and the pneumatic assist functions need a supply between 0.8 and 1.0 MPa, which is 116 to 145 psi. Check that against your compressor's regulated output, not its maximum tank pressure. A compressor that cannot hold the top of that band under repeated cycling is the most common reason a machine like this feels weak in service.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor and access.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sound, level concrete, and enough clear room around the turntable to swing a full-size wheel and to stand where the press controls are.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe frame, and why plate thickness is quoted at all\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe body is built from welded steel plate, quoted at 3 mm. A machine that pushes several thousand pounds downwards has to react that force through its own structure — if the frame flexes, the shovel arrives off-centre and the load ends up in the clamp arms and the rim rather than in the tire. The press arm itself is quench-treated at the areas that carry the load, which is a heat treatment aimed at exactly this: the part is hardened where bending would otherwise start. Reinforced side walls and base plates carry the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow the job actually runs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe wheel is set on the clamping ring, held either by the internal or the external jaws depending on the rim. The press shovel comes down onto the tire and the bead opens with very little operator effort. Once the bead is broken, the turntable rotates the wheel while the clamps hold it, and the mounting or demounting proceeds as it would on any turntable machine. The press earns its keep again at the start of mounting, when a heavy or stubborn cover has to be persuaded over the flange without the operator holding it there by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNoise is quoted at less than 70 dB, which for a machine applying this much force is low, and is a consequence of hydraulic and pneumatic actuation rather than impact.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePerformance and tuning shops\u003c\/strong\u003e handling low-profile tires on wide rims, where a standard changer struggles and a scratched wheel is expensive.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBusy independent tire bays\u003c\/strong\u003e that see run-flats and reinforced sidewalls every week.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLight-truck and van specialists\u003c\/strong\u003e working at the top of the passenger range where beads are hard and covers are heavy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShops with a 110V supply\u003c\/strong\u003e and no appetite for an electrical upgrade, that still need serious bead-breaking force.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePress force\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2,500 kg (5,511 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOuter clamping range\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e12 in to 24 in\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eInner support range\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e14 in to 28 in\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum tire diameter\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eQuoted both as 43.3 in (1,100 mm) and as 38 in (980 mm) - confirm before ordering\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum tire width\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eQuoted both as 12.8 in and as 12 in, against 325 mm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower supply\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e110V, 60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAir supply required\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e0.8 to 1.0 MPa (116 to 145 psi)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNoise level\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eLess than 70 dB\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBody steel\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e3 mm welded plate\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eApprovals, stated plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's data for the KT-T855 carries no third-party safety listing, and we will not imply one.

Unloading is the receiver's job. A machine of this mass needs a forklift, a dock or a booked collection from the carrier's local terminal, and the terminal route is often the least trouble because the equipment is already there. Delivery to a residential address carries a residential fee, applied at checkout when you select that option.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect before signing. Check the crate for crush damage, shifted banding, bent framework and any sign the machine has moved on the pallet, and write what you see on the bill of lading while the driver is present. Photograph it then, not later. A clean signature is the carrier's proof that the shipment arrived undamaged, and it is very hard to unwind afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eKatool covers this machine with a one-year warranty on all product parts and publishes the full terms as a written document, which we will send you before purchase if the detail matters. The usual caution applies: if a fault appears, do not dismantle the press assembly, the pneumatic circuit or the motor before a claim is opened. A part that has been taken apart is normally treated as a modified part, and that is the quickest route to losing cover you would otherwise have had. Photograph the fault, note the serial number and call us first.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mechanicsuperstore.com\/pages\/contact\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e for more
