VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY
The Tirehand will permanently adapt to either a forklift truck or a front-end loader. When mounting to a forklift
truck, it is recommended that the truck be equipped with a sideshifter. If adapted to a front-end loader, quick
couplers are available which enable the disconnection of the Tirehand so that the original bucket can be
quickly coupled to the machine for normal operations.
IMT reserves the right to change specifications and design without notice. Where applicable, specifications
are in accordance with SAE standards and ISO/DIS 3691-1, the international standard for Industrial Trucks -
Safety Requirements and Verification.

Tirehand Installation Introduction
VEHICLE COMPATABILITY
The tirehand will permanently adapt to either a forklift truck or a front-end loader which has
sufficient capacity and stability, per the tirehand specifications.When mounting to a forklift
truck, it
is recommended that the truck be equipped with a sideshift. If adapted to a front-end loader,
quick couplers are available which enable the disconnection of the tirehand so that the original
bucket can be quickly coupled to the machine for normal operations.
Typical tirehand hydraulic installations include:
Bulkhead plate hydraulic installation - all of the tirehand hydraulics hoses connect together
in
a
bulkhead plate, which then connects hydraulically to the loader or forklift. With a bulkhead
plate installation, the valve bank is part of the forklift or loader rather than the tirehand. In
many cases, bulkhead installations are used on forklifts.
Valve bank hydraulic installation - when the valve bank is part of the tirehand, rather than the
loader or forklift. The forklift or loader must be equipped with a pressure line and a return line
which connects the forklift or loader hydraulic system to the valve bank in the tirehand. In
many cases, valve bank hydraulic installations are used on loaders.
Typical tirehand controls include:
Hydraulic cab controls, where additional functions in forklift or loader control valves are
hydraulically connected to the tirehand.
Electric cab controls, which includes a control box with toggles used to control the tirehand.
Radio remote controls.
For all installations, the tirehand requires 15 GPM (56.8 lpm) of hydraulic fluid at 2500 – 3000 PSI
(172.4 - 206.8 bar). A flow divider may be required if the forklift or loader pump provides excess
flow. Contact IMT for specific installation instructions on any type of installation.
Prior to connecting any electrical connections between the tirehand and the loader or forklift,
check the tirehand voltage. IMT tirehands may be 12V or 24V.

Chapter 3 Installation 17
Typical Tirehand Hydraulic Installation
For all installations, the tirehand requires 15 GPM (56.8 lpm) of hydraulic fluid at 2500 – 3000 PSI
(172.4 - 206.8 bar). Some of the components shown on the typical hydraulic installation drawing,
including the flow dividers, reservoir, filter, pump, and drain, are not provided by
IMT but are part
of the loader or forklift. Contact IMT for specific installation instructions on any type of installation.

Loader Installation
NOTE: Tirehand installations vary based on the carrier vehicle. Contact IMT for specific
installation assistance.
1 Mount the Tirehand to loader arms using the original loader pins.
2 Splice the flow control divider into the existing pressure line. Continue the original line to its
original destination (bucket, etc.), and route the controlled line (with 15 gpm (56.8 lpm) at 2500
- 3000 psi (172.4 - 206.8 bar)) to the tirehand
valvebank.
3 Route the hoses as shown in figure below.
4 Locate the control handle inside the cab where convenient to operate.
5 Connect the 3-wire power cable to 12-volt power. The green wire connects to 12V positive, the
black wire to the coil on the flow divider, and the white wire to ground.
6 Route the control cable to the tirehand and connect.
7 Check all hoses and cables for clearances. Make sure that steering or moving the arms will not
pinch or overstress the hoses or cables.
8 Fill the reservoir. Start the loader’s engine and operate all controls to purge air from the system.
With the loader running, check for leaks and repair if necessary.
9 Recheck all hoses and cables for clearance.
10 Check the reservoir oil level and fill if necessary.
11 Test operate the tirehand.
NOTE
Stop blocks should be welded to the loader
arms to limit articulation, if necessary
Locationsand sizes of stops to be
determined at time of installation.
