Using a Conveyor for Tire Handling
Martins Industries designs and produces tire handling equipment to facilitate your everyday handling activities. There are four tire conveyors (TC-15; TC-18; TC-21; TC-24) all similar they only differ in their height in order to reach the diffenrent levels of mezzanines. It will help you get your tires and wheels from one floor to another easier than ever. It saves a lot of time and effort and reduces risks of injuries and accidents. The TC-15 tire conveyor is 15’ long and can handle about 12 tires/minute. It can be used to rise or lower tires and can reach a mezzanine 12’ high, leaving 1’ of the conveyor over the mezzanine to drop the tires.
Tire Conveyor - Simple to Use
The use of the tire conveyor is really simple. You
only need to put the tires on the moving strap next to the cleats and
let the conveyor go. To operate the conveyor two employees are needed;
one on
the mezzanine and
one at the bottom. There are simple controls on each end
giving the possibility to go forward or backward. A stop and an
emergency button are easy to access at the bottom control panel.
Easy Installation of the Tire Conveyor
The tire conveyor is really easy to install and
requires little setup time. It is equipped with a stability plate at
the bottom
and needs only 4 bolts to be secured to the floor. The motor has a 16'
cord
that plugs in an 115V outlet
Fabrication of the Tire Conveyor
The tire conveyors are
all equipped with a commercial grade rubber belt made of two plies,
and rests
on rollers to provide support while moving the tires or wheels.
The
rollers have ball bearings, and although those require little maintenance, they
should be checked once in a while to ensure the good performance
and life
of the conveyor. The motor of
the conveyor provides enough
strength to carry 500lbs (the conveyor’s load capacity).
The steel frame
is covered with powder coated paint for a strong resistance against
impacts and friction from the tires and equipments.
