TR23 Tyre Changer Helps Pegasus Grab Hire Reduce Downtime

By Alice Mullard

Pegasus Grab Hire has made its workshop more efficient and safer by bringing tyre maintenance in-house with Totalkare’s TR23 tyre changer. This change has helped reduce downtime and given the company more control over its fleet for tyre changing operations

For many heavy-vehicle operators, tyre maintenance can be a constant issue. Relying on outside providers often causes delays, higher costs, and less flexibility. This is especially challenging in industries like construction, where keeping vehicles on the road is essential to meet deadlines. Pegasus Grab Hire recognised this risk and decided to invest in Totalkare’s latest tyre fitting equipment.

The TR23 tyre changer is built for commercial vehicles and can handle rim sizes from 16 to 22.5 inches, as well as tyres up to 1200mm in diameter. Its compact design helps save space in the workshop, while features like the double press roller system and four-claw hydraulic clamping make it easier and safer to work with different types of wheels.

Jay Chauhan, Area Sales Manager at Totalkare, said: “Fleet operators are under constant pressure to minimise downtime while maintaining high safety standards. The TR23 gives workshops a reliable, in-house solution that improves turnaround times and reduces dependency on external services. It is about giving customers greater control and consistency in their operations.”

Since installing the machine, Pegasus Grab Hire has already seen clear improvements. By handling tyre changes themselves, they have reduced waiting times and can deal with maintenance issues much faster, helping keep their vehicles on the road.

Steve Hand of Pegasus Grab Hire commented: “Outsourcing tyre work often meant delays that we could not afford. With the TR23, we can complete jobs much faster and plan our maintenance around the business. It has also made the process safer and more straightforward for our team.”

This kind of investment reflects a wider shift in the heavy-vehicle industry. More businesses are focusing on improving efficiency, safety, and cost control within their own workshops. Using the right equipment allows them to keep operations running smoothly and maintain consistent service.

For Pegasus Grab Hire, the TR23 tyre changer is already proving to be a practical and reliable long-term solution that supports both productivity and safety.
