Katool KT-855 Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the KT-855 different from a standard tire changer?
The KT-855 combines an automatic tire changer with a vertical tire press delivering 2,500 kg of shovel pressure — the press does the bead-breaking work that normally takes muscle and a bar. It is built for volume shops that want speed with minimal operator strain.
What wheel sizes does the KT-855 handle?
Outer clamping covers 12 to 24 inch rims and inner support runs 14 to 28 inches, with a maximum tire diameter of 43.3 inches (47-inch max wheel) and tire width up to 12.8 inches — passenger cars through light trucks.
What power and air does the KT-855 need?
A 1.5 KW (2.0 HP) motor on standard 110V/60Hz single-phase power, drawing 4.7A at full load, with shop air at 117-145 psi. Noise stays under 70 dB — quieter than most machines in its class.
Is the KT-855 hard to operate?
No — the vertical press design actually reduces operator effort and skill demands, since the machine handles bead breaking and pressing. Most techs are comfortable within a few changes.
Which Katool tire changer should I choose?
Pick the KT-855 for high-volume bead-breaking with its vertical press. The KT-T800 wheel-clamp line is the value route, the KT-T850 tilt-arm handles low-profile and run-flat work, and the KT-T900 center-post is the premium pick for delicate wheels.
Does the KT-855 pair with a wheel balancer?
Yes — run it beside a Katool wheel balancer, or check the combo packages for matched pairs at package pricing.
