With an Easy Gripper installed on a forklift, telehandler, front loader, or truck crane OTR tyre service can be done in any environment and at the same time improving both efficiency and safety!
Mounting, demounting, moving, tilting, and stacking of OTR tyres up 46/90R57 – depending on the configuration, have been made a whole lot easier and safer with the Easy Gripper product range from Just Easy Tools.
The Easy Gripper
The Easy Gripper product range is tyre manipulators designed to save time and resources as well as improve occupational health, ergonomic working environment, and safety.
With a unique 3-point grip, it grips and holds large tyres, even under narrow mudguards. It manipulates the tyres as needed – tilt from lying to upright, moving up and down and rotates for precise placement. A camera system gives the tyre technicians optimal view for hub and bolt alignment, as well as it adds visibility and safety while maneuvering the tyre.
Improve efficiency and safety
To improve the efficiency as well as the occupational health, ergonomic working environment, and safety for the tyre technicians, special and unique Ring Handling Tools for handling multi-piece rim parts have been developed for the Easy Gripper product range.
With the Ring Handling Tools the tyre technicians can grip, hold, press, or place tyres, rims and rings as needed instead of doing it manually or by other unsafe means.
- a major improvement of safety and efficiency!
Easy shift of the top gripping pipe with a flat top arm allows handling of tyres with limited tyre clearance e.g. in underground mines.
Martin Nygård, AF Gruppen/AF Anlegg, Norway
AF Anlegg are right now building 18.6 kilometres of a new four-lane highway between Kristiansand and Mandal as part of the New Road E39 portfolio. With a framework of NOK 4.7 billion, the contract for the E39 Kristiansand west - Mandal east project was Norway's largest comprehensive contract for road construction at the signing point.
We chose to go with the Easy Gripper on our new road construction to further enhance the safety of our workers as this is our highest priority. With all the heavy machinery we deal with on the construction site, like CAT 775 and CAT 988 we also managed to improve efficiency with the Easy Gripper.
Jarmo Maunu, KM Däckservice, northern Sweden and Finland
With the investment in a truck with a crane-mounted Easy Gripper, KM Däckservice have opened an entire new business area. They are now able to profitably deliver and install tyres more than 250 km from their tyre centres, with only one man in the truck.
Customers in villages like Vuollerim had to travel 110 km to our nearest tyre facility to get e.g. 25” tyres replaced. Now we can offer on-site service – and what previously took two men 8 hours can be done with one man in just 4 hours. With lower costs and shorter production stop for the customers - so, this is truly a win-win situation - Jarmo concludes.
Erik Bänecke, Bänex, Germany
Erik Bänecke tells about their first experience with their new Easy Gripper. On our first operation with the Gripper, at a site in Halle, changing 2 pcs 23,5R25 tyres. The purchase department called us afterwards, as they did not understand, what we had done. We had been on-site, changed the tyres without needing assistance from their own staff or lending a forklift. Less than 2 hours later we had left the site again.
“Beside safety we managed to improve efficiency with the Easy Gripper” - Martin Nygård, AF Gruppen/AF Anlegg, Norway
“Now, one man can do the job alone. What took two men 8 hours can be done with one man in just 4 hours” - Jarmo Maunu, KM Däckservice, Northern Sweden and Finland
