Gripper

Gripper tyrehands are designed specifically with underground mining and safety in mind. With 3 gripping points the Gripper tyrehand offers a unique level of safety and accuracy when handling tyres and wheel assemblies, and at the same time offers extended safety if inflation of tyres is required in onsite-tyreservice situations. Offering 2nd generation tools for 3 or 5 - piece lock ring handling, the Gripper offers the end user the perfect solution for tyre removal and fitment and is ideal for LHD's, ADT's, surface or underground mining due to its compact design.

With the flat top gripping arm mounted, damages on vehicles with little clearance between tyre and fender can be avoided. Gripper tyrehands offer a complete plug n' play control system, with an integrated camera system and monitor, built-in heavy duty LED work lights, and can be mounted to a fork lift truck using the quick shift module which fits ISO/FEM class 3 fork carriage or pallet trucks. The Gripper Compact is designed to be mounted on to small loaders, telehandlers or Truck Cranes and can be customized to fit existing coupling systems such as CAT Fusion couplings, Volvo quick couplings, truck cranes etc.
