Iowa Mold Tooling Co. Inc. (IMT), an Oshkosh Corporation company, is pleased to introduce a new and improved line-up of TireHand® tire manipulators that enable customers to efficiently and safely install and rotate the massive tires on mining and construction equipment. IMT has added 2 new TireHand models and redesigned previous offerings to meet customer needs for more capacity options, increased productivity and improved operator safety. Available in loader or forklift-mounted options, the rugged IMT TireHand tire manipulator line-up provides maximum capacities ranging from 2,495 kg to an industry-leading 16,329 kg. Important new features of the line-up include extended capacity, optimized design and standard hydraulic fallback protection. “Since introducing our first TireHand tire manipulators in the early 1970s, IMT has been committed to meeting the evolving tire-handling needs of our mining and construction customers,” said John Field, product manager of material handling at IMT. “The newly revamped TireHand line-up enables our customers to perform big tire-changing jobs more efficiently and safely than ever in demanding environments.” The new IMT TireHand line-up offers integrated fallback protection arms that are hydraulically controlled, making them easier to use and operate than their mechanical predecessors. TireHand fallback arms provide an additional layer of operator safety. The tire technician can activate the hydraulic fallback protection feature from the control panel or a remote control. If the tire is freed from the TireHand pads, the tire will fall against the fallback protection arms, leaving a path for the operator to exit without injury. TireHand tire manipulators offer lateral shifting capability and optional quick-coupler attachments. Additional options for the new and improved line-up include new fully proportional controls offering improved control of operating speed and a mounted camera for increased operator visibility. IMT supports the mining and construction industries, not only with TireHand tire manipulators, but also with industry-leading Dominator® mechanics trucks, SiteStar® lube trucks and lube skids, air compressors and other unique devices.
