The invention relates to a vertical manipulator for large size tyres which comprises a platform and mechanisms for holding, raising and rotating tyres, for the safe working of maintenance workers. The vertical manipulator solves problems concerning the visibility that an operator of a carrier machine has of the tyre rim and the intervening maintenance workers, and incorporates a safe-access platform for the maintenance workers, reducing the intervention time and the risks of becoming trapped and falling. The manipulator works on all types of terrain and its movements include those of conventional manipulators, in addition to others specific to the invention, rendering its features superior. The vertical manipulator comprises a main transverse body from which are suspended two sets of parallel arms that open and close according to the size of the tyre. To each set of parallel arms is added a support arm, which holds a pivoting arm, equipped with a gripping plate, securing side rollers and a lower roller, the pivoting arm operating supported by a lifting jack, and a work platform being disposed on the parallel arms and supported by the main body.
