Manitou’s Tire Handler attachments are designed for use on the company’s MHT telescopic handlers.
The company says its handler range excels in heavy and bulk material handling, even on challenging terrain.
The Tire Handler attachments are available in four sizes, with capacities ranging from 5,512 to 26,455 pounds, and offer safe tire removal and fast changes in mining environments. The attachments can be safely controlled from the cab, with each movement activated by two operator actions (a button, plus joystick), or with the machine’s remote control for better visibility. Anti-fall arms further enhance the attachments’ safety.
Manitou says each Tire Handler model offers complex hydraulic movements that improve efficiency, including two body rotations – one for leveling and the second for pad rotation – along with side shift, machine tilt and telescopic extension.
The Tire Handler attachments provide increasingly greater maximum outreach according to the model, with the TH 49 / 2500 capable of reaching 6 ft., 3 in.; the TH 51 / 3500 reaching 8 ft., 7 in.; the TH 57 / 6000 reaching 9 ft., 10 in.; and the TH 63 / 12000 reaching up to 12 ft., 7 in.; The attachments height ranges from 3 ft., 5 in. to 4 ft.; with lengths from 7 ft., 3 in. to 12 ft., 4 in.; and widths between 6 ft., 5 in. and 10 ft., 7 in.
