Safety, efficiency, and time savings in tyre chain installation
At FMA Industrial, we promote solutions that optimize operations in mining environments. One such solution is the innovative Westate Tyre Chain Spindle System, designed to improve operator safety and significantly reduce downtime when fitting chains to the tyres of large equipment.
What does the Westate Tyre Chain Spindle System do?
This system enables tyre chains to be installed off the machine, eliminating the need for the operator to be within the direct working area of the loader or haul truck. The chains are fitted safely, quickly, and efficiently using a Tyre Handler and a specially designed spindle that secures the chains to the wheel assembly.
Key Benefits:
- ✅ Enhanced safety: Reduces the risk of accidents by avoiding direct contact with hydraulic arms or the equipment frame.
- ⏱️ Reduced downtime: Allows chain fitting while the equipment remains in operation. Final assembly takes place during scheduled wheel changes.
- 🔧 Versatility: Compatible with various Tyre Handlers, including FMA models and other brands, and adaptable to different tyre sizes such as 45″, 57″, and others.
