The above is the type currently used. Twice. The other is a 180 deg
fitting for the outer wheel.
20+ minutes to install per wheelset on hands and knees.
I'm looking for some kind of quick connector, installation tool(s) ok.
Need to install, drive 24-36 hours, remove, install on different
equipment, drive, remove. As many as 6 wheelsets every time.
Reason, using customer owned trailers. Customer is REAL cheap. We're
finding recapped tires with casings showing production codes 8-10 years
old.
Rubber in the casings is old & hard, seeps air around the bead, tire
gets hot, disintegrates.
Had as many as 3 tires blow SLC-ATL-SLC
Im looking to use a "Halo" (http://www.aperiatech.com/) to reduce or
eliminate this unnecessary nonsense.
Make "dealing with cheap tires" a line item on your invoice?
