Not sure where this should end up, so I'll start here and FUT to .General

I'm looking for pictures of wheel/tire replacement for heavy equipment in
the field. If a large Terex dump truck gets a flat on the way to a mine, how
do they raise the truck and replace the tire? Do they use a large jack and
mobile crane, or some other equipment?

Any help is appreciated.

I'd guess a crane, theres one (was two) mine 100 miles from here, but I had
never thought about the tires being changed!  I know that they deliver them
with a normal flat bed truck, simular to a logging pulp wood truck, that has
a fairly large crane on it...  I suppose a crane, & often changes at the
maintainence building!

(...) I know that there is a lot of preventive maintenance with the mining equipment, so my example is a little far fetched. Ross Crawford gave a good example of how they change out a tire in that situation. How about something a little more common (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.general)
