Need
The handling of heavy vehicle tires, during both production and maintenance phases, requires the use of specific equipment capable of ensuring safety, precision and efficiency.
In fact, transport, assembly and disassembly operations of large wheels present several complexities, related to the weight of the elements, the need for precise alignments and the potential danger of manual maneuvers..
Objective
The goal in developing this tire gripping fork is to provide a technologically advanced and versatile solution for handling heavy vehicle tires.
The fork is designed to simplify tire gripping, rotation and positioning operations, minimizing the physical effort required by the operator and increasing the accuracy and safety of operations.
As
The fork is equipped with several innovative features:
- Integrated motor rollers: They allow motorized rotation of the tires, facilitating alignment of the centering holes with the vehicle hub.
- Vision system: An integrated video camera provides the operator with a clear and accurate view of the position of the centering holes, even in hard-to-access places.
- Automatic safety lock: Ensures the stability of the tire during lifting and carrying operations, preventing the risk of tipping over.
- Manual travel system: Allows fine adjustment of the position of the fork relative to the vehicle hub.
- Modular design: The fork is available in different models, adaptable to different tire sizes and can be integrated into the production processes of various types of vehicles.
This innovative solution represents a significant technological advance in heavy tire handling, offering numerous advantages in efficiency, safety and versatility.
