The Stellar TM16160/28000 OTR tire service truck fits the needs of OTR tire service technicians who need something that can handle the largest, heaviest tires.
A 315-degree turntable rotation system driven by a worm gear and pinion system ensures solid performance. This carrier features a lifting capacity of 28,000 lbs. at 10 ft. and 17,200 lbs. at 16 ft. 3 in. of total reach without the tire manipulator.
Stellar's modified A-frame stabilizer design is an industry first, the manufacturer said.
The Stellar TM16160/28000 OTR offers the stability and durability of A-frame stabilizers with the diversity of out-and-down-style outriggers. Modifying the A-frame geometry and using dual cylinders allows A-frame stability at differing widths.
The tire manipulator offers more than 143 degrees of articulation and 315 degrees rotation, along with continuous rotating pads. With a clamping width of 158 in., it can easily handle tire and tire rim combinations up to 16,500 lbs. The parallelogram design gives it considerable clamping width, but also the ability to clamp tires as small as 40 in.
Service body features include a 20 ft. long body, heavy-duty steel construction, stainless-steel rotary slam latches, slide-top doors on all tool compartments, recessed skirt-mounted halogen floodlights and rubber-mounted running lights. The flat body has 8 D-ring tiedowns, and the entire body is undercoated.
Carrier features include a fully enclosed extension boom cylinder, hexagon-shaped secondary and extension boom, integral-mounted pump and PTO on the chassis and load-holding counterbalance valves. There is a standard fully proportional radio remote control and manual controls on the TM16160/28000 with the ability to do multiple functions at once. Rotation is accomplished through a turntable bearing.
