The Truck Tire Sidewall Cutter is a great piece of machinery for sidewall cutting large agriculture tires or truck tires. This piece of equipment can handle the size of these tires and no manual lifting is required, meaning that potential back injury is reduced for the operator.
We ship and deliver the Truck Tire Sidewall Cutter internationally. We have sent this product to countries as far as Australia, Argentina, South Africa and Iceland. We are excited to begin supplying this machinery to the US also, from Texas to Ohio, we can deliver.

Whole tires are brought to the Sidewall Cutter machine which then picks them up, cuts the sidewalls using a tool steel grade cutting blade, and deposits the cut tire back onto the ground. After this process, you are left with two sidewalls and one tread section.
With safety guards built into the machine, it has been designed with the safety of the operator 100% in mind, preventing any accidental injury during operation. The Sidewall Cutter machine does not require heavy tires to be lifted in manually, meaning that the risk of back injury is minimal.
The control system requires the operator to use two hands behind the guards, meaning they are standing safely out of the way while operating the machine.
For an added layer of safety the Sidewall Cutter is equipped with 3 emergency stop buttons.
The key benefit of cutting the tire sidewalls is that it enables further processing of the tire, with the tire bead now effectively isolated, the shredding process becomes much easier. This is because the bead section contains a thick steel belt which causes undue wear on most shredders. With the sidewall removed the tread section can be shredded with ease.
In addition, because the inner tire area (ie the tread section) is much easier to compress once the sidewall has been removed, even large truck tires can be easily baled in a MKII Tire Baler. This means that there is a reduced need for a separate baler, for large tires.
Shredding the tires with the Sidewall Cutter also provides huge environmental benefits. In whole tires water tension is a significant issue, as they create a breeding ground for mosquitoes in warmer climates. Tires that have no sidewalls are unable to retain water like whole tires, which prevents a potential breeding process.
The sidewalls themselves can be baled along with tires, or alternatively, recycled by being sold to farmers as retainers for plastic silage covers.
The Tread Cutter attachment is a bolt-on option which is an excellent upgrade to the Sidewall Cutter. After cutting the sidewalls the Tread Cutter allows you to cut up the remaining tread section into smaller pieces. Whilst useful for smaller tires, the main advantage benefits largerer truck and agricultural tires.
Cutting the tread sections allows for large pieces of tires to be stored or baled much easier. The image below shows a number of super single truck tires that have been through both the sidewall cutter and tread cutter.
