CAV LT-650 expert line tyre changer for truck & bus

The CAV LT-650 expert line tyre changer is CAV answer to the demanding tyre service requirements of the commercial vehicle industry. CAV knows that when you are dealing with truck and bus tyres, you are not working with lightweight passenger car wheels – you are handling wheels that can weigh up to 500kg and measure up to 1600mm in diameter. Standard tyre changing equipment simply cannot cope with that kind of scale. That is why CAV developed the LT-650, a heavy-duty tire changer built specifically for the commercial workshop environment.

The CAV LT-650 truck tire changer handles rim diameters from 14" right up to 26", covering the vast majority of truck, bus, and commercial vehicle wheels on the road today. Maximum wheel width is 780mm, which accommodates the wide tyres found on heavy trucks and buses. The machine is powered by a hydraulic pump with 1.1kW driving power and a gear motor with 1.8kW driving power, delivering the muscle needed for heavy-duty tyre service. The bead-breaking force is an impressive 2500kg, making short work of stubborn beads on commercial tyres that have been on rims for years. Clamping force reaches 4000kg, ensuring the wheel stays securely in place during the entire tyre changing process.

The semi-automatic assist arm on the CAV LT-650 commercial tire changer makes mounting and dismounting heavy truck tyres much easier. Instead of wrestling with heavy tyres manually, the assist arm does the heavy lifting, reducing physical strain on technicians and speeding up the service process. The machine also features a wireless remote control option, allowing operators to control the tyre changer from a safe distance. The remote operates on low voltage 24V for safety, giving technicians flexibility and peace of mind during operation.

The CAV LT-650 heavy-duty tire changer weighs 585kg net and 640kg gross, with shipping dimensions of 1.99 x 1.6 x 0.88 metres. Noise level is kept under 70dB, which is impressive for a machine of this size and power. Working pressure ranges from 13MPa to 20MPa, and the machine operates on 380V three-phase power. This truck tire changer is built for the long haul, with heavy-gauge steel construction that withstands the rigours of daily commercial workshop use.

Product highlights

Heavy-Duty Construction for Commercial Applications – The CAV LT-650 truck tire changer is built with heavy-gauge steel and reinforced components designed to withstand the daily demands of truck and bus tyre service. This is not a passenger car tyre machine scaled up – it is engineered from the ground up for commercial vehicle wheels. The rugged construction ensures the CAV LT-650 heavy-duty tire changer stays stable and reliable even under the most demanding conditions.

Wide Rim Diameter Range – 14" to 26" – This commercial tire changer covers the full range of truck and bus wheel sizes. Handling rim diameters from 14" to 26" means the CAV LT-650 can service everything from medium-duty trucks through to heavy commercial vehicles and buses. The adjustable clamping system adapts quickly to different wheel sizes, minimising downtime between jobs.

Large Tyre Capacity – Up to 1600mm Diameter and 780mm Width – The CAV LT-650 heavy-duty tire changer handles tyres up to 1600mm in maximum outer diameter and 780mm in width. That kind of capacity covers the vast majority of truck, bus, and commercial vehicle tyres on the road. Maximum wheel weight is 500kg, so you can service even the heaviest commercial wheels with confidence.

Powerful Hydraulic System with 2500kg Bead-Breaking Force – The bead breaker on the CAV LT-650 delivers 2500kg of force, essential for breaking stubborn beads on commercial tyres that have been on rims for extended periods. The hydraulic system is powered by a 1.1kW pump and a 1.8kW gear motor, providing consistent, reliable power for even the toughest tyre service jobs. Clamping force of 4000kg ensures the wheel stays securely in position throughout the entire process.

Semi-Automatic Assist Arm – The semi-automatic assist arm makes mounting and dismounting heavy truck tyres significantly easier. Instead of manual wrestling with heavy tyres, the assist arm does the hard work, reducing technician fatigue and speeding up service times. This is a particularly valuable feature for workshops that handle multiple commercial tyre changes every day.

Wireless Remote Control Option – The optional wireless remote control allows operators to control the CAV LT-650 truck tire changer from a safe distance. The remote operates on low voltage 24V, prioritising operator safety while providing convenient, flexible control. This feature is especially useful in busy commercial workshops where space is tight and technicians need to move around the machine.

High Clamping Force – 4000kg – With clamping force of 4000kg, the CAV LT-650 commercial tire changer holds wheels securely in place during the entire tyre changing process. This is essential for safety and precision when working with heavy commercial wheels that can weigh up to 500kg.

Low Noise Operation – Below 70dB – At under 70 decibels, this heavy-duty tire changer is quieter than many competitors. That makes a real difference in a busy commercial workshop where constant equipment noise can be fatiguing for technicians during long shifts.

Versatile Application Range – The CAV LT-650 truck tire changer is suitable for truck, bus, tractor, and industrial vehicle tyres, including tyres with gripping rims, radial ply tyres, and farm vehicle tyres. This versatility makes it a valuable investment for workshops that service a diverse range of commercial vehicles.

Substantial Weight and Stability – With a net weight of 585kg, the CAV LT-650 heavy-duty tire changer stays planted and stable during operation. The substantial weight minimises vibration and movement, ensuring precise, safe tyre service every time.
