Katool KT-T900 Frequently Asked Questions
What is a center-post tire changer and who is it for?
A center-post machine clamps the wheel through its center bore rather than gripping the rim edge -- the same approach used on premium European tire machines. There is no metal-to-metal contact with the rim face, which makes it the design of choice for expensive alloy, chrome, and custom wheels.
What wheel sizes does the KT-T900 handle?
It handles wheels from 12 to 30 inches with a maximum wheel diameter of 47 inches and width up to 16 inches -- the widest size range of any Katool passenger-car tire changer machine.
What power does the KT-T900 need?
It runs on standard 110V single-phase power with a 2 HP gearbox motor plus a 1.1KW hydraulic power unit, and connects to shop air. Despite the premium capability it fits a normal garage electrical setup.
Can the KT-T900 handle run-flat and low-profile tires?
Yes -- the included assist arm provides the bead pressure that stiff-sidewall, low-profile, and run-flat tires require, and the center-post clamping means zero rim-edge contact on delicate wheels.
Which Katool tire changer should I choose?
The KT-T900 is the premium pick for shops that touch high-end wheels. If your work is standard passenger tires, the wheel-clamp KT-T800 costs less; the KT-T850 tilt-arm splits the difference with 47-inch capacity and an assist arm. Commercial truck tires need the KT-T160 truck tire changer.
What comes in the box with the KT-T900?
The assist arm, plastic rim protectors, mount/demount head with plastic inserts, bead breaker blade, inflation gauge and hose, tire lever, adjustable clamping jaws, and air line fittings. Net weight is 414 lbs.
