Whether you're engaged in mining operations needing mining surveyors, planning heavy haulage logistics or undertaking large-scale earthmoving or quarrying projects, the tyre handlers in our network can take on any task efficiently and safely. These machines are indispensable for handling and transporting large, heavy-duty tyres, ensuring your operations run smoothly and safely.

Wait, Hold Up! What Does a Tyre Handler Do?

Tyre handlers are depot-based machines of suppliers who manage large fleets of earthmoving gear, either in terms of their own fleet (on a mine, in a depot or a quarry) or as service providers (engineering companies, mechanics or diesel fitters) to the plant hire industry. Tyre handlers are sometimes called a ‘tyre manipulator’, ‘tyre clamp’, or ‘tyre grab’. For some at the very big end of the plant hire industry, this equipment is pivotal in making tyre changing, replacing, repairing and moving efficient and safe for those servicing and running machines in the mining sector.

Most of the time, you’ll find tyre handlers grappling with giant tyres on the front lines of the mining industry. They're specialised pieces of equipment, tasked with the Herculean job of managing and changing tyres on the biggest gear (mining-sized articulated dump trucks, loaders and scrapers). The tyres they manage often dwarf the average human in both size and weight. Imagine hoisting a colossal 3,000+ kilos or wrangling tyres that stretch over 3 metres in diameter – that's the day-to-day for these beasts.
