Skid Steer Tire Grabber Attachment for 68–90 Inch Tires | Hydraulic Clamp

This skid steer tire grabber attachment hydraulically clamps and rotates 68–90 inch tires, enabling safer and more controlled heavy equipment tire handling. Changing heavy-duty tires on agricultural and construction equipment has always been one of those jobs that eats up time, demands extra hands, and risks damage to expensive machinery. Whether you're running a farm, managing a fleet of construction equipment, or operating a busy service shop, tire maintenance is a reality you can't avoid. The Tire Changer from Eip Manufacturing and distributed by Forge Claw brings a smarter approach to this essential task—one that transforms a typically labor-intensive process into something you can handle efficiently with your skid steer.

This isn't just another attachment collecting dust in your yard. It's purpose-built equipment designed to handle the unique challenges of changing large tires ranging from 68 to 90 inches in diameter. That covers a substantial range of agricultural tractors, wheel loaders, telehandlers, and other heavy equipment that keeps your operation moving. Instead of wrestling with tire irons, recruiting a crew, or waiting on mobile tire service that charges premium rates, you gain the capability to perform tire changes on your own schedule with your existing skid steer.

The hydraulic clamping system sits at the heart of what makes this tire changer effective. When you're dealing with tires that can weigh several hundred pounds and require precise positioning during installation and removal, having hydraulic control makes all the difference. The system securely holds tires in place while you work, eliminating the instability and safety concerns that come with makeshift solutions. You control the clamping force from your cab, applying exactly what's needed for the tire size you're handling without over-stressing the equipment or under-securing the workpiece.

Adjustability defines the practical value of this attachment. The adjustable legs and stands accommodate the wide range of tire sizes within the 68 to 90-inch capacity, meaning you're not limited to one specific equipment type. Your farm might have multiple tractors with different tire sizes, or your construction company might service various machines throughout the season. This tire changer adapts to what you're working on rather than forcing you to adapt your process around limited equipment capabilities. Set it up for the job at hand, secure the tire, and get to work.

The 30-degree rotation capability addresses a problem anyone who's changed large tires understands immediately. Access to valve stems, proper bead seating, and maneuvering heavy tires into position all require the ability to rotate the tire while it's secured. This attachment provides that rotation hydraulically, giving you the positioning control you need without manual effort. Whether you're breaking a stubborn bead, aligning mounting holes, or accessing hard-to-reach valve positions, that rotation makes jobs faster and reduces the physical strain that typically comes with tire service.

At 450 pounds, this tire changer delivers the structural stability necessary for safe operation without becoming so heavy that it affects your skid steer's performance. The dimensions—48 inches wide, 59 inches high, and 47.625 inches deep—provide a substantial working platform while maintaining reasonable proportions for transport and storage. You can move it to wherever tire service is needed, set up quickly, and operate with confidence that the attachment won't shift or become unstable during use.

Eip Manufacturing built this tire changer for real-world conditions where equipment takes a beating and downtime costs money. The construction reflects an understanding that tire service happens in shops, fields, job sites, and anywhere else equipment operates. It's not designed for the controlled environment of a dedicated tire shop—it's made for operators who need reliable performance in varied conditions. Dust, mud, temperature extremes, and the general abuse that comes with mobile tire service are all part of the expected operating environment.

The efficiency gains become clear when you consider the alternative approaches. Mobile tire service involves scheduling, waiting, and paying premium rates for on-site work. Taking equipment to a tire shop means transport costs, downtime while the machine sits in queue, and the logistical headache of coordinating vehicle movement. Having a dedicated tire-changing rig in your shop is expensive and takes up valuable space. This skid steer attachment gives you professional tire-changing capability without the overhead of dedicated equipment or the delays of outsourced service.

For operations running multiple pieces of equipment, the time savings compound quickly. A construction company with several wheel loaders, a farm with multiple tractors, or a rental fleet maintaining diverse machinery all face regular tire maintenance. Being able to handle those changes in-house, on your schedule, with equipment you already own represents substantial value. The attachment pays for itself through reduced service costs and eliminated downtime waiting for outside help.

Safety improvements matter just as much as efficiency. Makeshift tire-changing methods using chains, straps, and manual leverage create risk for operators and potential damage to expensive tires and wheels. The controlled, hydraulic operation of this tire changer reduces those risks significantly. The tire remains securely held throughout the process, rotation happens smoothly without sudden movements, and the operator maintains control from the cab rather than working directly under suspended loads.

Forge Claw distributes this tire changer as part of their commitment to providing equipment that solves real problems for operators. They understand that the best attachments aren't the ones with the most features—they're the ones that make difficult jobs manageable and save time on tasks you perform regularly. This tire changer fits that philosophy perfectly. It does exactly what it needs to do, does it reliably, and delivers value that extends far beyond the initial purchase price.

The attachment's design also considers the operator experience. Changing tires shouldn't require specialized training or complex procedures. The straightforward operation means your crew can learn to use this attachment quickly and work confidently. Adjust the stands for the tire size, engage the hydraulic clamp, use the rotation as needed, and perform the tire service. The simplicity ensures that the attachment actually gets used rather than sitting idle because it's too complicated or requires too much setup time.

Maintenance requirements stay minimal because the design avoids unnecessary complexity. The hydraulic components are standard, the structural elements are built tough, and there aren't delicate mechanisms that require constant attention. Regular inspection, keeping hydraulic connections clean, and basic preventive care keep this attachment ready for work. You're not taking on a maintenance burden—you're adding a tool that reduces your overall maintenance headaches by making tire service faster and easier.

Time savings represent one of the most immediate benefits you'll experience with this tire changer. Instead of coordinating schedules with mobile tire services or transporting equipment to a shop, you handle tire maintenance when it fits your workflow. A job that might take hours using manual methods or waiting for service can be completed in a fraction of the time. For operations running multiple machines, those time savings multiply quickly across your fleet, translating to more productive hours and less equipment sitting idle.

The cost reduction extends beyond eliminating service call fees. When you can change tires in-house, you avoid the markup on labor that comes with professional tire service. You also gain flexibility in purchasing tires—you're not limited to what a service provider stocks or recommends because you have the capability to mount whatever tires best suit your needs and budget. Over the course of a year, especially for operations with several machines requiring tire service, the savings easily justify the attachment investment.

Durability advantages come from both the attachment itself and how it protects your other equipment. The robust construction handles the demanding work of tire service without degrading or requiring frequent repairs. More importantly, the controlled hydraulic operation reduces the risk of damaging expensive wheels and tires during changes. Manual methods and makeshift solutions often result in scratched wheels, damaged valve stems, or improperly seated beads that lead to premature tire failure. Professional-grade equipment produces professional-grade results.

Productivity improvements affect your entire operation. Equipment downtime for tire issues drops significantly when you can address problems immediately rather than waiting for service availability. Seasonal operations particularly benefit—when you need to switch from field tires to road tires, or from standard tires to specialized applications, you're not at the mercy of service shop schedules during their busiest periods. You control the timing, which means your equipment stays productive when you need it most.

The real-world job site value shows up in unexpected ways. Beyond planned tire changes, this attachment gives you capability for emergency repairs. A flat in the field during harvest, a damaged tire on a job site miles from town, or any situation where getting a machine mobile again quickly matters—you have the tools to handle it. That emergency response capability alone can prevent costly delays and keep projects on schedule even when problems arise.

Safety improvements benefit both your crew and your bottom line. Worker's compensation claims, injuries from improper tire-changing methods, and damage to equipment from unstable tire-handling situations all create costs that extend beyond the immediate incident. Providing proper equipment for tire service demonstrates a commitment to crew safety while simultaneously reducing your risk exposure. The controlled, stable operation of this tire changer minimizes the hazards associated with handling heavy tires.

Long-term value accumulates as you use this attachment across seasons and years. Unlike consumable solutions or rented equipment, this is a capital investment that continues delivering returns. As your fleet grows or changes, the adjustability and wide tire capacity ensure the attachment remains relevant. You're not buying a solution for today's equipment lineup—you're investing in capability that serves your operation's needs for years to come, adapting as those needs evolve.

This tire changer suits operations of various sizes and focuses. Large farms with multiple tractors benefit from in-house tire service capability during busy seasons. Construction companies running wheel loaders and other heavy equipment reduce downtime and service costs. Equipment rental businesses can perform their own maintenance rather than outsourcing tire work. Municipalities maintaining fleets of utility vehicles gain service flexibility. Small repair shops can add professional tire-changing capability without investing in dedicated stationary equipment. Anywhere heavy equipment operates regularly and tire maintenance is a recurring need, this attachment delivers value.

Compatibility centers on standard skid steer quick attach mounting, which means most skid steers can run this attachment without modification. Your hydraulic system needs sufficient flow to operate the clamping and rotation functions smoothly, but the requirements fall within typical skid steer capabilities. If you're running a smaller mini skid steer, verify that your machine's capacity handles the 450-pound attachment weight plus the tire you're servicing. For standard-size skid steers commonly used in construction and agricultural applications, compatibility isn't a concern.

Operating effectively with this tire changer involves some basic best practices. Set up on level, stable ground before beginning work to ensure consistent performance and safety. Take time to adjust the legs and stands properly for the tire size you're handling—proper setup at the beginning makes the entire process smoother. Use appropriate tire-changing tools alongside the attachment for tasks like breaking beads and installing valve stems. The attachment provides the holding and positioning capability, but you'll still need standard tire irons and related tools for the detailed work. Clean the tire and wheel before mounting to prevent debris from interfering with proper bead seating.

Maintenance stays straightforward with regular attention to a few key areas. Inspect hydraulic connections before each use to catch leaks or damage early. Keep the clamping surfaces clean and free of debris that could mar wheels or interfere with secure gripping. Check that adjustment mechanisms move freely and that locking pins or bolts remain tight. Lubricate pivot points periodically according to standard greasing schedules. Store the attachment under cover when possible to protect hydraulic components from weather exposure. These simple maintenance tasks ensure reliable performance and extend the attachment's service life substantially.
