Commercial vehicle tires not only have to withstand high loads, but also ensure reliable grip in a wide variety of weather and road conditions. A well-equipped workshop in the wheel and tire sector is therefore essential to be able to carry out tire fitting, maintenance and repair efficiently and safely. We have compiled essential products for you in our themed brochure that optimize work processes and increase customer satisfaction.
Tire inflation cage ensures maximum safety
A tire inflation cage is an indispensable tool for the safe and efficient inflation of tires. The use of tire inflation cages for commercial vehicle tires offers numerous advantages in terms of safety and efficiency. Tire inflation cages are specially developed tools that enable the safe and precise inflation of commercial vehicle tires. Thanks to their robust design and easy handling, they contribute significantly to the safety of workshop personnel.
Filling commercial vehicle tires with air or nitrogen creates a high internal pressure, which can be dangerous if the tire is not properly secured during the inflation process. Tire inflation cages secure the tire in the event of an uncontrolled burst, thus minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries.
"When inflating a tire for the first time, there is a high risk of accidents for workshop personnel. Reasons for this include the fitting of pre-damaged tires, damage to the tire bead during fitting, inadequate checking of the fit of the locking and side rings on multi-piece rims, damaged rims (e.g. due to rust, wear, cracks, deformation, etc.) or exceeding the maximum inflation pressure."
