Gaither Tool Co. Inc. has launched a new tire-handling tool to make lifting and maneuvering heavy tire/wheel assemblies easier – the Winntec Wheel Assist.
The tool uses gas springs for lifting power, unlike the usual hydraulics, pneumatics or electric motors that are less-flexible, the company said.
Gaither also claims the tool will help reduce shop injuries, create a safer work environment and save a shop money on expensive insurance claims.
