Quick connector for Class 8 dual wheels.
http://www.mwdropbox.com/Dropbox/Airline_connector.jpg
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. thanks gary |
