There is provided a device for handling tires [10] having an anchor [12] for attaching to a prime mover [14] and a clamping device [16] rotatably mounted to the anchor [12] that rotates relative to the anchor [12] about a rotation axis. The clamping device [16] has a plurality of engagement members [22] connected by a mechanical linkage [24] and a carrying body with a plurality of guides [22]. The weight distribution of the clamping device [16] is balanced about the rotation axis. Each guide [22] carries one of the engagement members [22] and is oriented to allow the engagement members [22] to move perpendicular to the rotation axis between clamping and release positions. The mechanical linkage [24] includes a rotating actuator [32] and controls movement of the engagement members [22] along the guides [22]. The movement of each engagement member [22] is rotationally symmetric about the rotation axis relative to the movement of the other engagement members [22]. The device has an actuator [34] that actuates the mechanical linkage [24].
